Chapter Five

She has to get her mind straight eventhough she feels like she's about to lose her mind.Her legs suddenly felt weak,so she decided to go take a sit to the nearest couch.She then opened the newspaper and looked at the date. The newspaper was dated October 23,1942... Her heart started beating so fast while she was reading the headlines; Ralph Rainger,an American composer of popular music for films was involved in a plane crash near Palm Springs, California. On the other news, Eleanor Roosevelt, the American First Lady,went to London and met with the King and Queen in Buckingham Palace..."

"Oh heavens,I really traveled back in time!" she gasped.

She stood up and went to the boudoir to look herself at the mirror. Once she reached her destination,her heart almost stopped and goosebumps flooded her skin when she looked at her reflection. She DOES look like Elizabeth Montecarlo!

There are many questions that's floating in her mind now. How did she travel back in time? Why is she in 1942? Why did she become Elizabeth Montecarlo?

She then realized that she was still holding the newspaper and the letter. She opened the letter and read it.

Serena took a deep calming breath before she continued walking towards Walter Hayes,who was drinking coffee while looking at the scenic nature view. She's already familiar with this man's physucal features,as she saw his black and white pictures on the internet,so she didn't have a hard time looking for him.

"Hello there." she nervously greeted him.

She almost whistled when she finally met the man face to face. He looks so dapper,in his navy blue suit. His blond hair was styled with a pomade,and he looks so manly.He also got a straight nose that ends with a soft curvy tip.

Her eyes went down to his lips. Oh,my golly! He got this thin lips that can be similar with George Clooney,and he got this well-defined jawline. She never thought men from this era can be so hot.

"Hello,darling. Have a seat." Walter Hayes stood up and pulled a chair for him.

Plus 100 points for being a gentleman.

"Thank you." she took a seat and she decided to observe him more.

"By the way,I would like to congratulate you for your stellar performance last night. Your musical play was a huge success and people are asking for more!" Walter happily said.
