Through time at my wedding to Leonel Greer, I had just pulled off my veil to stop the wedding when my five-year-old son suddenly appeared. Looking around, he leapt straight into Leonel's arms. "Daddy, I finally found you," he said. He told Leonel that he was his son, from six years in the future. Leonel laughed and lifted him, pointing at me. "So why did you only come to find Daddy and not Mommy?" The boy didn't even glance at me and said, "She's not my mother. My mother is Scarlett Casey." The room fell silent. Everyone knew Scarlett, Leonel's long-lost first love. Leonel froze, but the boy continued, "Daddy, Mommy didn't accept your confession because she was misdiagnosed with cancer and didn't want to burden you. Now she knows it was a mistake and wants to come back for you, but she heard you were marrying someone else. "She'll be so sad that she'll get hit by a car while crossing the street, losing the use of her right hand forever. Daddy, you have to save her, forget the wedding!" Leonel instinctively looked at me. "Anabella, I..." I just waved. "Go. It's a matter of life and death." He smiled gratefully and said before leaving, "Don't worry. I'm just going to save her. Our wedding can be postponed, not canceled." I didn't respond, watching his hasty retreat. But honestly, I wanted to cancel the wedding.
