Best Friend Comes From Ten Years Later

My best friend, Lainey, traveled through time, but she didn't save me.

Lainey and I had known each other since birth. We were like real sisters and were inseparable every day.

When she seriously claimed she had traveled back from ten years later, my first thought wasn't to check her forehead for a fever but to ask, "What are the winning numbers for the Union Lotto ball this week?"

Lainey paused for two seconds and replied, "I didn't check."

I playfully knocked her on the head. "How could you come here with nothing?"
