Hannah-2002: Tuesday, Oct 12, 1880 I don’t know what to think. I didn’t shift back to 2024. I am still in 1880. | Hannah-1962: Saturday, Oct 12, 2024 I don’t know what to think. Something happened when the shift back to regular time happened. Only 7 of us shifted back to where we were. I’m still in 2024. |

It is awful. I told Merritt and Emma, and they were as shocked as I am. That’s the Merritt born in 2000 and the Emma born in 1965. What happened? I can only think it means that the three of us are supposed to do something here, in this time. Merritt told me his and Hannah’s plan to get jobs with Will. Therefore, No way I’m going to the dance hall. I’m very sad to be apart from the Merritt I’ve been with. Things have been going so well, I think, considering we had to come back 144 years in time and stop a lynching. Now, we’re apart. And… I can’t help having feelings for this Merritt. Part of my thoughts remind me that, without shifting, the two of us would have been working together in 2024… so… what does it all mean? This is awful. The only good thing is that this version of Emma is just as sweet as the other. I can hardly tell any difference except for how she talks. | I am overcome with guilt, to be honest. When we started shifting, I thought to myself that I’d like to stay longer. That I’d like to see what it would be like to have Merritt to myself. That I didn’t want to go back to Memphis's hot days, and mosquito-infested nights. Well… I didn’t shift. I was so caught off guard I didn’t know what to do. I… haven’t told anyone. Now, I’ve gone so long this way, to bring it up will be hard. What should I say… “Oh, by the way, Merritt, holding your hand and cuddling is nice. Wish I’d met you before Thursday!” But, I will tell him. We got by at work yesterday, but… I can’t hide that I’m lost. I’ll tell as soon as I see him today. And Will needs to know… What’s worse, is that I like being here, and I like having Merritt to myself. And I feel even more guilty because of it. |
