"There you are!" Phoebe said later that night.
"Oh yeah, I'm...up here." Chris said absently.
"What's wrong? You seem distracted."
"Well, I am just researching demons, trying to get some clues about who turns Wyatt, and the Book keeps turning to this page."
"What is it?" Phoebe asked, coming over to where Chris is standing.
Chris points to the page. It reads:
The bond which was not to be done, Give us the power to see it undone, And turn back time to whence it was begun.
"To Unbind a Bond. But I have no idea why it keeps turning to that." Chris said as he slowly closed the book.
A second later, the Book flipped open to the same page.
"Why does it keep doing that?!" Chris said, annoyed.
"I know why. It's the spell we used to go back in time." Phoebe said softly, remembering.
"Right. Mom told me that you could tell the story better than she could. Why is that?"
"Well, I guess it's because I never really knew my mom. She died before I had any memories of her."
Chris listened, a concerned look on his face.
"I finally got to talk to her," Phoebe said smiling, "To hug her, hear her laugh." Chris smiled too. "And at first, I was just going to avoid her."
"Kind of like how I did with Mom," Chris said, nodding. "Because you didn't want to get close to her and then have to return to a time where she wasn't there?"
"Exactly. It was hard for me to make that decision, but I didn't want to lose her again. But it didn't matter anyway, because I bumped into her." Phoebe said, smiling at the memory.
"Really?"
"Yeah. And she was pregnant with me then! So I know exactly how you've been feeling these past few months. Even without being an empath," She joked.
Chris laughed.
"It was so great to get to know her, Chris. To finally have memories of her. And by the time we had finished what we went back there to do, I didn't want to leave her." "Like I felt."
"Yeah. I...wrote her a note telling her to stay away from water the day she died."
Chris' eyes widened. "You did?! I guess we're more alike than I thought."
"Calm down, Chris" Phoebe laughed. "I didn't give it to her. Grams told us we weren't supposed to mess with destiny."
Chris felt a pang of guilt and worry.
"Was this supposed to make me feel better about saving Mom?" Chris asked weakly.
"I regret it." Phoebe said quietly.
"You do?"
"Of course I do. I miss every day I don't see her."
"Me too. It was so hard for me to see Mom when I came here. And she didn't like me at all. That was really hard..."
"Oh Chris..." Phoebe said, pulling him into a hug.
The Book began to flip again. Chris ran over to it.
"Okay that's weird..."
"Is it still on that spell?" Phoebe asked, joining him.
"No," he said, pointing. "It's an entry about the Angel of Destiny."
"Oh yeah, I'm...up here." Chris said absently.
"What's wrong? You seem distracted."
