Time waits for no one.
James held her; knowing that every embrace was a moment in time that could never be wasted or taken for granted.
Their journey with Marie Antoinette into a time long ago had touched them both deeply. Deeper than anyone could ever know.
Their lives had changed in so many ways since they had bought the pieces from the chingdynastycollection.com that had transported them into history.
James had decided to see what other journeys they would experience. He hadn’t told Melanie of his decision. He wanted to surprise her. The piece he had chosen would arrive soon enough.
It was 2am when he woke.
Almost as if he was still in a dream, he walked over to Melanie’s jewellery box and opening it, he stared down at the piece Marie Antoinette had owned.

The voice was as clear as it had been in 1789. It was Louis.
“James. J'ai été enlevé à Marie au milieu de la nuit. Je n'ai pas pu dire au revoir; Tenez-la et dites-lui que je l'aimerais pour l'éternité.
Je ne pouvais pas dire à Marie-Thérèse combien je la chérissais, ma première fille.
Ne ratez aucune occasion de montrer votre amour à Mélanie; Le temps n'attend personne.”
{“James. I was taken from Marie in the middle of the night. I was not able to say goodbye; hold her and tell her I would love her into eternity.
I couldn’t tell Marie-Thérèse how much I cherished her, my first born.
Don’t miss any chance to show Melanie your love; time waits for no one.”}
James slipped quietly back into bed and held her.
