    Summary

    “Time is a funny thing. One moment you're young, dumb and messing about in a museum workshop. Next thing you know you’ve found yourself in the middle of a war.”
    She woke up in a city that wasn’t hers.

    The sky was choked with smoke and towers that clawed into the clouds. Strange machinery hovered in the air, guards in metal suits prowled the streets, and no one looked twice at the newcomer dressed wrong for the times.

    Audrey had nothing. No map, no clue where—or when—she was.

    She learned quickly. To keep her head down. To adapt. She picked up work in the underbelly of the city. Listening for anything that might connect her to the rift gate, the artifact, or a way home.

    But the city was restless. War beneath the surface, rebellion in whispers.

    Two years later, she’d meet the boy with the blonde spikes and the chip on his shoulder.

    Summary

    "Wet hair slapped against her forehead as her hands clamped down around the exposed pipe, a phantom warmth shielding her back. A knot formed, deep in her gut, swirling as angrily as the sky above them thundered, tendrils of grief reaching and wringing its ugly presence into the forefront of her mind. Metallic shrieking echoed around them, or were those people? Her ears mixed the noises together, her brain fried beyond comprehension as adrenaline rushed through her body, sinking deep into her bones, Her lungs felt like they were on fire and she could taste the way the mud in the air captured the static electricity around them. She felt like she was about to die."

    Five years is not enough time to process grief when all you're used to doing is running from the feelings it comes with.

    Summary

    "When it’s completely clear and the storm calms her mind doesn’t. She’s still half there like she was in the EF5, and without Tyler behind her it’s like she’s unmoored. The woman and her daughter, wrought with shock and leftover adrenaline thank her, stumbling to where paramedics have begun to arrive. Tyler helps them out of the pool, and then her, and then himself.

    He looks like he wants to talk about it. It being her reaction–it wasn’t a normal one for a storm chaser. A stranger, sure. The girl and her mother, of course. It was expected for someone with no real tornado experience to lose it a bit while stuck inside one. It's a freak incident no one should go through, but she has."

    OR

    The rodeo tornado shakes Kate up good. Tyler is there, whether she likes it or not.
