There was no way Rachel would have missed this meeting. She sat on a tree stump, high enough up that she could look out over the crowd while Lucy's dad spoke to everyone. She was trying to match up the people from now with the people she knew, even as she listened to what she hoped was to be the start of a brand new, better timeline.
Crazy Jake wasn't anywhere near crazy, she realized, listening to him speak. And she frowned as she spotted Jake, because she could have sworn blind that he hadn't grown his beard for years to come, and yet there he was, standing up with his beard. Huh. Weird. And then, oh my God, Marta! Gen was going to be so pleased!
