Owen kept taking in the people around him. He couldn't help it. There were actual people in Cardiff. This version of earth had people living here and a rift that was under control. It was as if the world had been granted a second chance, if he hadn't known first hand that his world was still very much suffering.
Then a couple of people walking together drew his eye. The man he didn't know but the woman was unmistakable. He squinted, bringing them more into focus. Owen wouldn't believe it but his mouth seemed to be working ahead of his brain (as it so often did). "Tosh!?" It was both an exclamation and a question. His brain wouldn't let him believe what he was seeing and his body froze in the spot he was standing.
