Susie?s purple hair with silver highlights, leather skirt and jacket and regulation Doc Martins might not be everyone?s idea of the perfect granddaughter, but she was the only one that Donna had. After years of being alone, Donna found herself energised by Susie?s sassy wit and go anywhere, do anything attitude.It came at a price, because there was no subject that Susie ever regarded as off-limits.?I mean,? Susie would say, ?what exactly is the ?correct? attitude that I should take towards a granny who has a secret time machine in the basement??~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~?Gran, why don?t you go and see Grandpa? I know you miss him because you talk about him all the time. There?s nothing to stop you, you?ve got the time machine, you know exactly where and when he was alive. Why don?t you go??There was an exasperated tone creeping into Susie?s voice, grandma could be so stubborn at times.?No.??Gran, you make me reason my way through everything, but you cheat. You never say why. What if I went to see Grandpa? I could go and bring Escort Fikirtepe (http://fikirtepe.t2bro.net/) him back. I know it would be a bit awkward because I was born after he died, but I look enough like you that he?d believe who I was.??No.??Why not? Why not??Donna started to turn away, and then something in Susie?s face stopped her. For a second she saw herself, her younger, headstrong self. The girl who married that reclusive crazy physicist inventor, against everything her family said.?You?re never going to give up on this, are you???No.??Even if some of what I?m going to say is embarrassing???You mean like you?re too old to have sex with him??Susie waited for the explosion. None came.?You?re closer than you think,? Donna said. ?I did go back. Once.? Donna turned away, wiping a tear from her cheek.?Gran you can?t stop now.??Susie, I am not telling this story standing in the kitchen.??Where then???In the garden. One particular place in the garden.?Donna led the way.?Stand here,? she said. "Look Sancaktepe escort (http://sancaktepe.t2bro.net/) in through the french doors, what do you see?"Susie shaded her eyes and stared at the window. ?I can see the sofa, not much else.??But if the light was on???I?d know who was sitting on it.??Yeah.?Donna turned away from the window and sat on the garden bench.?Sit on the grass and listen. The months after John died ? John, the grandpa you never met ? I missed him more than you can imagine. The time machine that he built, actually worked, even then, though I?ve made a lot of adjustments and refinements since. I knew I could go back and see John. I didn?t want to go to any of the last few years because I couldn?t face seeing him ill again, knowing what was going to happen. I lived through that once, and that was once too many times.??That makes sense,? Susie said.?I had to pick a date when I?d be sure not to meet myself in the house, so I picked a day when I knew I was about to go away for a üsküdar escort bayan (http://uskudar.t2bro.net/) fortnight on a field trip. I made a mistake, I was a day out. It was thirty years before, so one day is not much of an error. I aimed at arriving in the garden. I planned on hanging around out there to make sure the coast was clear.?Donna stopped for a second, choking up, ?God, this is hard,? she said.Susie took her hand, feeling sorry she'd started this, but now she had to know how it ended.?Let me guess, you saw them through the window, the younger you and John, is that right???This was long ago before your mum was born. I was desperate to make sure I didn?t meet myself, so I was fixed on remembering a time when I was away.* I forgot what happened the afternoon before I left. John was never very demonstrative, but knowing that I was going to be away for two weeks must have triggered something.?Through the window, I saw him kissing this young girl???That was you? Right???Yeah, but through the window, in the dim light inside, I didn?t know who it was.??And you thought you?d already left.??I nearly died. I thought John was having an affair, I felt sick and desperate, for a few minutes it felt as though my whole life had no meaning. I collapsed onto the grass and lay there feeling terrible.??But you must have known he didn?t cheat on you.?
