Well, it’s cloudy an’ the temperature is ‘round 70°F. Being from Vicksburg, MS and Merritt being from Atlanta, we’d say it’s cooled of real nice.
I gotta go to work today, but me an’ Merritt decided to make a quick run to the market, but we stopped in at the coffee shop for a little breakfast. Merritt said I ought to tell about going to dinner Thursday night at Shay’s house, since that happened.
Well, Shan and Devon wanted to tell us ‘bout some memories they come aware of from the 1882 group. Soon as they started mentioning it, naturally, all the rest o’ us come aware of them, too.
So, Devon in 1882 was born a slave, an’ took work for the version of Merritt what that time-shifted back there. Now before the memories merged, the 1881 Shay was tutoring Devon to read.
Well, when the merge happened all out of the sudden, he had the memories of the Devon now! Not just reading, but math an’ all!
Now, another thing… By an’ by, the Shay of now and the Devon of now started having fond feelings for each other. Well, with the merged memories, the versions back in 1882 did, too!
Now, in 1882, a black man and a white woman being romantic was beyond frowned on!
So, ‘cept for the other Time-Travelers and Shay’s momma, they kept it a secret for sure. But it was real, and it stayed on. ‘Course the now versions of Shay and Devon knew an’ tol’ us others ‘bout it now and again.
Well, now for Thursday… So, all six of them living in Shay’s house back in 1882 are going to Jamaica in July to get married! Soon as Shay an’ Devon brought it up, me, Merritt, Hannah, an’ Kent discovered the memories in our own minds!
We were surprised we’d not noticed b’fore!
Now, we already knew that the 1985 Virginia group was gonna get married this fall. So, come November, all the versions of us we share memories with will be married ‘cept us here in 2025.
An’ I’ll just let you guess what we’re thinking, ‘cause it shouldn’t be a surprise!
An’ I’ll add we don’t have any plans. Just thinking!
