Eliza spun around her apartment, holding the book aloft. "Eliza Blake: The Unexpected Traveler." She had the distinct feeling of being the main character in a movie and she was just about to watch the trailer. The delivery had arrived earlier that day. She'd been too busy all week to open it, saving it for the weekend.

Now, as she sat on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, a smile played on her lips. The words on the pages took her on a flight across time. She felt a lightness in her chest, the kind of feeling she used to experience as a child. She kept whispering, "Amazing." and smiling at the page.
