Chapter 88: Why is this Night Different? Part 1

Elgin National, March 30, 2037, Monday Morning

Lesley walked into the cafeteria to find Seth about to have his coffee and Danish.

"Come on," she urged. "Centehua wants us all in the Clock Tower room before Howie gets in. We're having cake and coffee in there."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot all about it," he answered. "You know I'm not a morning person."

"Come on," she repeated. "It's so good that Katya and Cyrus and Dawn are back. Did you hear about Cathy?"

"Uh Huh, Cyrus called me last night. We're almost best friends again after I messed up the timeline and he forgot who I was."

Seth and Lesley walked arm in arm into the decorated appliance center. Katya and Cyrus were standing next to Centehua. Louie sat in a far corner and watched as people started to pile in. Dawn was tasked with delaying Howie and diverting him to the Lord and Lady Elgin rooms where Kevin and Cheryl talked to him about his latest project.
