Dedicated to Elishya ( Quill-inkPantalaimon ) because she is, quite simply awesome and hopefully now she will see the film which for all who don't know is a masterpiece... )
This story was written form the prompt: "What if Leon visited before the cousins had arrived" ( in HazieRox 's forum, please check it out there are some really superb ideas! ) Please note that I couldn't remember the years or months so I have used artistic license…

Moments in time - an Atonement story
It's strange how one single event and have multiple, nee unrecognizable effects in the people we love. It acts as a catalyst turning one affair into another through the body of a person, right through to their very soul. And it is strange how even thought these events are the present they are fluid, and it is only when the cycle of decision is over that they become reality; only when every player in the game has made his or her choice, only then do they become fixed, permanent, absolute. This is a lesson that you need to know. This is a lesson that I have learnt. And this, this is a lesson that will haunt us forever.

Robbie. It was hot that year. I had just returned from college, my mind no longer filled with distaste for the upper-class, their hatred no longer penetrating my sound mind. I had come home, my mind freed from the confines of a soul determined to prove the world wrong. Because one man can't make a difference among toffs. I was always the pigeon among peacocks. The rat among cats. The nag among stallions. Oh, they'd accept me, listen to me, and invite me out so that they could parade me before their peers. Their charity disgusted me. But not here. Here I was no-one's pet…invite, I wish with all my heart that I had not used that word. Forgive me if I linger a moment…but for me such innocent words and places render sweet thoughts false.
