“Be yourself,” Maeve said then paused. “Try to look normal.”
Colton raised an eyebrow.
“Maeve, I’m Cerulean.”
“You’re the only one who can open the gateway.”
Colton had agreed and now he waited, tapping his foot. Hoping he looked inconspicuous, he checked his chronoscope. The window was closing, and their next chance was decades from now. Colton couldn’t stay, but he didn’t want to leave them.
Finally, he saw Maeve and the others running toward him. He engaged the portal, and it whirled to life. Only seconds remained. He stepped through the portal and prayed they all made it home.
