Romance
After loving Adrian Marsh for three years, I willingly stepped into a cryo-pod. I would sleep beside him for 200 years, then wake up in the world he came from.He told me people there could live forever, and couples could share a mind-link that would bind them for life.We would never have to be apart again.Back then, I truly believed our love could survive anything, even leaving the world we knew behind for 200 years.But when the pod finally opened, I discovered we hadn't made the journey alone. My stepsister, Sasha Doyle, was there too.Adrian hadn't brought me to the future so we could be together forever. He had done it to save Sasha from cancer.On the first day, he gave the only partner slot to Sasha. I didn't argue.The next day, he told me she needed a place to stay and expected the three of us to live under one roof. I agreed to that too.On the third day, they left together for Polaris, a place I'd dreamed of visiting all my life. Even then, I'd quietly planned the entire trip for them.Adrian had no idea I'd already arranged with the Temporal Immigration Bureau to return to my own time.In three days, I'd be gone.Before I left, they severed the neural pathway that made me love him. From then on, I would never see him or love him again.
