Adam successfully entered a world slightly different from his own timeline. He embarked on an exploration and discovery of this new reality, as well as a chance encounter with Emilia, who lived there.
As Adam traversed through time to one year ago, he found himself immersed in a flood of memories—a moment when he was giving an academic lecture at a different school while Emilia was home alone. A plan formed in his mind, and he decided to seize the opportunity to impersonate his past self and see Emilia once again. Adam was determined not to startle her, so he carefully shaved off his beard and dressed himself to resemble the charming version of his past self.
Anxious and unsure, Adam made his way to their home. The familiar sights filled him with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation. He rang the doorbell, his heart pounding. The door opened, and there stood Emilia, her eyes widening in surprise.
"Adam?" she said, her voice filled with disbelief. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be giving an academic lecture?"
Adam smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness. "I wanted to surprise you, my dear. The lecture ended early, and I couldn't resist coming home to see you."
A radiant smile bloomed on Emilia's face as she stepped aside, inviting Adam in. They embraced tightly, as if they had endured a long separation before reuniting. The warmth of their connection made them forget the barriers of time and space.
As they sat in the cozy living room, memories flooded back to them. They reminisced about inside jokes, laughter, and the dreams they had woven together. Adam marveled at how Emilia's presence still quickened his heartbeat, despite all they had been through.
Adam's eyes shimmered with a bright light as he gently brushed a strand of hair behind Emilia's ear. She leaned into his touch, her eyes filled with love and vulnerability. They felt like the only two people in the world, their connection transcending the boundaries of time.
They spent a delightful evening, conversing, laughing, and relishing each other's company. Adam marveled at Emilia's beauty, her gentleness, and her unspoken understanding of him. They shared stolen glances and intertwined touches, their connection growing deeper with each passing moment.
In the dimly lit room, Adam gathered the courage to express his feelings. "Emilia, I don't want to waste a single second without you. Being with you in this moment has made me realize how precious life is, and how we shouldn't let go of what truly matters. I love you, Emilia, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Adam knew he had to handle this situation delicately, so as not to disrupt the balance of the timeline and not to startle Emilia. He pondered on how to prevent the past version of himself, Adam B, from uncovering his identity while ensuring Emilia remained unaware of his true origins. He decided to use his own mother as a diversion for Adam B, as the city where the academic forum Adam B attended was very close to his mother's city.
Adam successfully logged into Adam B's email, as he naturally remembered his own password. He decided to send an email to his own mother, expressing how much he missed her and missed the apple pie she made. To ensure that Adam B in this timeline wouldn't discover his plan, Adam carefully deleted the original email after sending it, so as not to raise unnecessary attention.
Soon after, Adam's mother received the email and replied to Adam B, saying, "Honey, Mom misses you so much, misses the joy on your face when you eat apple pie. I hope you can come and visit for a few days." Adam B saw his mother's email and realized it had been months since they last met, so he decided to visit her, delaying his return home. Adam B sent a message to Emilia, informing her of his plan to visit his mother and that he would be a few days late coming home.
Emilia's phone vibrated on the bedside table, and Adam knew his plan had succeeded. Now it was time for him to delete the message. He carefully moved Emilia's hand, picked up the phone, and opened the messaging app. He quickly found the message Adam B had sent to Emilia and deleted it, leaving no trace behind.
The two days that Adam and Amelia spent together were filled with happiness, warmth, and precious memories. They looked back on their past lives, sharing their joys and confusions, as if time had reversed to the moment they first met.
On the first day, Adam and Amelia woke up early, greeted by the morning sunshine. They prepared breakfast together, chatting and laughing as if they had rediscovered their long-lost understanding. Adam personally made a sumptuous breakfast with scrambled eggs, toast, and fresh fruit, setting it on the table, filling the air with a delightful aroma. They enjoyed the food while talking about their families and upbringing.
Afterward, Adam took Amelia to the park they once loved. The flowers and plants were lush green, and the birds sang cheerful songs. They strolled hand in hand along the shaded path, feeling the gentle breeze caress their cheeks. Adam occasionally pointed out the stories behind each tree and the beauty of every corner, guiding Amelia through the park.
In the afternoon, they visited a quaint café, savoring the rich aroma of coffee and delicious desserts. Adam and Amelia sat on a comfortable couch, talking and laughing, sharing their interests and dreams. Their laughter echoed in the corners of the café, as if time stood still.
In the evening, Adam took Amelia to an exquisite restaurant for a romantic dinner. Candlelight flickered, and soft music flowed, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere. Adam carefully pulled out the chair for Amelia, and she sat down with a smile, her eyes filled with happiness. They tasted meticulously prepared delicacies, exchanging glances that conveyed a profound understanding without words, feeling their souls connecting.
As night fell, Adam took Amelia back to his place. They sat on the couch, surrounded by gentle music, creating a serene and warm atmosphere. Adam gently embraced Amelia, her head resting on his shoulder as she closed her eyes. Adam tenderly stroked her hair, and they immersed themselves in the tranquility and happiness of the moment.
On the second day, Adam and Amelia went to the seaside together. The sun was bright, and the waves crashed against the shore, bringing a refreshing sea breeze. They took off their shoes and walked on the soft sand, enjoying the comforting touch of the seawater on their toes. They built sandcastles together, collected seashells, and their laughter echoed on the beach. Hand in hand, Adam and Amelia walked toward the end of the sea, feeling the power and beauty of nature.
During lunchtime, they tasted fresh seafood at a seaside restaurant. On the restaurant's terrace, they overlooked the vast ocean, savoring both the food and each other's company and conversation. Adam shared some of his fond memories of growing up by the seaside, while Amelia listened, her eyes filled with love and admiration for him.
In the afternoon, they decided to go on a boat trip. The boat sailed on the turbulent sea, and Adam and Amelia stood at the bow, feeling the wind whistle and the water spray. They admired dolphins leaping in the distance, sharing this unforgettable experience together. The boat stopped at a small island, where they explored the beautiful scenery, strolled along the beach, and merged with nature.
As evening approached, Adam and Amelia returned to their accommodation and prepared dinner together. They busied themselves in the kitchen, cooking their favorite dishes side by side. The room was filled with warmth and laughter, radiating an atmosphere of love. After dinner was ready, they sat down together, savoring the food they had lovingly prepared, tasting each other's care and affection.
As night fell, in the living room, Adam brought out Amelia's favorite music CD, classical jazz. In the melodious music, Adam invited Amelia to dance. Their bodies drew close, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat. Adam gently held Amelia's waist, and her breath became quick and irregular. Their eyes met, and the attraction between them grew stronger. Adam paused, gently caressed Amelia's cheek, and then tenderly kissed her. Their lips touched, igniting an endless flame of love. In that moment, their hearts intertwined, and Amelia felt Adam's fervent love.
With the end of the two days approaching, Adam knew he had to leave. If he met himself in different timelines, he worried it would create conflicts and logical issues. Therefore, he decided to return to the laboratory, despite how reluctant he was to leave Amelia's company.
