"Nope, I will need you to drop me back at my place a little later," she said."Do you mind if I bring some stuff of mine with me to your place? I would... like to wake up with you tomorrow morning."Ellen leaned in and kissed me again. "You can stay at my place every night. If that's what you want."We made out then for a bit. Just kissing, but it was really nice.When we got to her place, we headed straight for bed. Neither of us was in the mood for sex. We had a long pillow talk as we got to know. She was wearing a medium length dark dress and some 4” red heels. She looked amazing. Which I told her and made her blush again. I said to her that we were going to skip the date part and go straight to what happens at the end of the night. So we both went downstairs and then met in the lobby. I took her by the hand and kissed her on the cheek and asked if I could walk her back to her room. We did, and when we got back to the room I said “id love to come in for a drink” She said “Sure thing. . another timeline, did I?"A soft smile came across her face. "Now I know you're okay. You'd never ask a question like that if you weren't."I pressed the issue a little further. "I guess that means I didn't move through time again, right?" You didn't," she assured me. "And you'll be okay. The doctor said so."A deep sense of relief overwhelmed me. Now, I was bursting with curiosity; I was dying to know what was going on. However, I decided not to push for any more information. My biggest concern. ’ Little Peter in his skeleton costume answered the question for me. ‘Oh … ok. Back in a sec.’ He disappeared and returned with his wallet, counted the five kids and then looked at me for confirmation. ‘Um … is a fiver each all right? I haven’t got the faintest idea what is appropriate here …’ ‘No … that is far too much. Give them a few coins, maybe a quid each max, something like that.’ ‘Ah … ok … thanks … sorry, I’m in a bit of a state today. Here you go.’ He gave a shiny coin to little Peter.
