Chapter 22- Jane Visits the Past
Jane
Yelping in surprise, I suddenly find myself fully clothed and half submerged in the tub. Ethan’s strong arms are around me for the second time this evening as he cuddles me close, sending all sorts of confusing feelings through my body.

“I’m afraid Ethan’s been hurt.” I explain softly.
“What!?” She cries, pressing her hand to her chest.
“He fell and hit his head. The doctor is seeing him now, at my
friend Linda’s, but I need to get him some fresh clothes and toi letries for the meantime.” I sigh.
“What on earth is he doing at Linda’s?” Eve demands, “How did he fall?”
