Thanks to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for her Friday Fictioneers photo prompt.
Holiday
Standing in the tended garden in the warm afternoon light, she powered down the portal. She’d only just arrived- three months this time. Footsteps approached, crunching on the gravel path. She turned to see him come around the tall hedge. He stopped in his tracks, surprise crossing his features.
“I forgot my sweater,” he said finally, pointing to the concrete bench. “I was at the corner when I remembered.” He continued to stare.
“What?”
“Your clothes, your hair – are – different.” He paused. “It’s only been five minutes.”
She REALLY hadn’t expected to see him so soon after her return.
Caught! Time travel isn’t always easy. Very interesting story.

Thanks for your comment. This one almost got away from me. I really enjoy being limited to those 100 words… I am forced to be very selective, and that helps.

I’d like to hear her talk her way out of this one!

I agree with draliman.
It would be a very interesting explanation.

Thank you. Perhaps I’ll write a 100-word follow-up…

A neat-to-read little tale of time travel, although not neat for her. She certainly has some explaining to do.

Thank you. Sometimes one does not want to share their ‘private time’ and there may be consequences if exposed.

Dear Kathy,
In a few words you’ve captured the differences in their time frames. Imaginative time travel story. I enjoyed.
Shalom,
