Re: AU Dan and Abra
Abra looked at Dan sadly. "I'm sorry." There was a small angry voice in the back of her mind, a temptation to blame him for telling her to leave. It wasn't fair. She hadn't really been there at the end in her timeline, either. Just a projection. "He made it in our timeline. I used to think of him as being on pause back home. Along with everyone else. But this place is home now, so I think the people back home have a different me with them."
Abra frowned for a moment. Was there something when she mentioned the people back home? A dark spot in Dan, like a secret. She might have to ask about it later. She didn't want to ruin Thanksgiving.
Abra looked at him. "I never really thought about why the didn't get you, or the man you told me about - Dick. Maybe it was supposed to happen that way. Like fate knew you needed him and I needed you. It all happened so the Knot would be destroyed." She suggested slowly. She didn't want him to think she saw the Overlook as good. More like it was necessary.
