Dr. Amelia Hartley was not your typical scientist. While her colleagues at the Quantum Research Institute toiled away on mundane experiments, she dared to dream of the impossible. For years, she had been obsessed with the idea of time travel, and she was convinced that she could make it a reality. Late one night, in the depths of her cluttered laboratory, Amelia had a breakthrough. She discovered a way to manipulate wormholes, creating a stable portal through time. Her heart raced with excitement as she realized that her dream was within reach. The world, however, was not prepared for her invention. Amelia kept her discovery a secret, working tirelessly to perfect her time machine. After months of relentless experimentation, she finally felt confident enough to test it. She set the date for her first journey: October 7th, 1874. Her calculations told her that she would arrive in London, a place she had always been fascinated with. Stepping into the shimmering portal, Amelia felt a rush of energy as she was whisked away through time. When she emerged on the other side, she found herself in a dimly lit alley in 19th-century London. The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and gas-lit lanterns were like something out of a historical novel. Amelia marveled at her surroundings but quickly realized that she had no way to return to her own time. Panic set in as she contemplated the enormity of her predicament. She was stranded in the past, with no way to communicate with the present. As the days turned into weeks, Amelia adapted to her new life. She found work as an assistant to a local apothecary and marveled at the simplicity of the era. Yet, despite the novelty of her surroundings, she couldn't shake the feeling of isolation. She was alone in a world where she didn't belong. One evening, as Amelia strolled through the bustling streets of London, she heard the distant strains of a piano. Following the music, she found herself outside a small, dimly lit tavern. Curiosity got the better of her, and she entered the establishment. Inside, she was captivated by the sight of a young man playing the piano with remarkable skill. His name was William, a struggling musician who had dreams of composing symphonies that would one day be celebrated across the ages. Their eyes met, and an instant connection formed between them. Over the next few months, Amelia and William spent more and more time together. She introduced him to ideas and concepts from the future, expanding his horizons, while he shared the beauty of the past with her. They fell deeply in love, their hearts transcending the boundaries of time. But as their love blossomed, the complications of their situation became increasingly apparent. Amelia knew that she couldn't stay in the 19th century forever, and William could never accompany her to her own time. The thought of leaving him tore her apart. One fateful evening, as they stood on a bridge overlooking the River Thames, Amelia finally confessed the truth about her time-traveling origins. Tears welled up in William's eyes as he struggled to comprehend the enormity of her revelation. The love they shared was genuine, but it was also bound by the constraints of time. With heavy hearts, they made the painful decision to part ways. Amelia returned to her own time, leaving behind the love of her life. It was a bittersweet farewell, filled with promises to cherish the memories they had created together. Back in the present, Amelia couldn't forget the love she had found in the past. She dedicated the rest of her life to perfecting her time machine, hoping to one day reunite with William, even if only for a moment. She knew that their love was timeless, and she would do whatever it took to bridge the gap between their eras once again. And so, the scientist who had dared to dream of the impossible continued her quest to conquer time itself, driven by a love that transcended the boundaries of history and a hope that one day, their paths would cross once more.

On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them.
