Lost time Quote by Sophie Wilkinson
““maybe even just time travelled; we hadn’t really decided yet. Personally, I’d rather go with parallel universe, mostly because it just sounded so much cooler. We had no idea how or when we could get back, which meant that we might be lost in time forever. Fran’s parents were missing in some other timeline or maybe even this one. We hadn’t actually gotten that far though, to be honest. I had no idea if our actions would affect the future, but I really didn’t think we were that important. Also, I hadn’t had any sleep for fifteen hours. And to tie it all up, I think that we are about to be bombed. Eek.””
