Alexander Vanderbilt: That's cool. Was there anyone else you met while you were back there?
Lyanna Asher: If you're asking if I met William Vanderbilt while I was there. Then the answer is yes. I did meet him while I was there.
Alexander Vanderbilt: What was he like?
Lyanna Asher: He is kind and gentle. He has a very strong spirit in him. He also likes to draw and paint. He loves nature. He also a very social person as well. There was one other thing that I learned about him.

Lyanna Asher: You're going to think that I'm crazy.
Alexander Vanderbilt: Try me.
Lyanna Asher: He has had dreams about me ever since he was three years old. Same thing happened to me when I was at that age.

Lyanna Asher: How do you know that?
Alexander Vanderbilt: Because I was born with that special gift as well. So was my wife. That's how we found each other and fell in love with each other..

Alexander Vanderbilt: I agree. It is incredible that's for sure.
Lyanna Asher: Wait were you the one who pushed me into the pond Alexander?
Alexander Vanderbilt: Yes.
Lyanna Asher: Why did you do that?
Alexander Vanderbilt: Because I knew it was the only way for you to go through the pond for the very first time. I wanted you to be able to meet your one true love. Are you mad?
Lyanna Asher: No I'm not mad at you. Not at all. I'm actually grateful to you.
Alexander Vanderbilt: You are?
Lyanna Asher: I am. If it weren't for you doing that to me. I would have never met my one true love that I have been dreaming about my entire life.
Alexander Vanderbilt: You're welcome.
Lyanna Asher: Next question. How long have I've been gone for? Because I looked at the calendar on my phone and says the same exact day I left and that only a couple of hours have passed. But I was there for a few days.
Alexander Vanderbilt: Time runs differently between the two time periods. An to be honest with you I have no knowledge beyond that. But I have do have one question for you.
Lyanna Asher: An what's that?
Alexander Vanderbilt: Are you going to be going back there again?
Lyanna Asher: Yes I am definitely will be going back there. Now I just have to figure out timing between the two time periods. That's going to be the first hurdle that I will have to figure out.
Alexander Vanderbilt: Well you definitely have me to help you out with that.
Lyanna Asher: Really you mean that?
Alexander Vanderbilt: I do.
