100 Years Project Anthology

My jaw drops, “Seriously? Thank you so much. That means a lot,
but… it still doesn’t explain why we’re here”
She grins, “Well, there’s no point of just Xiollia pulling out. If we
want to make a change, we’ll have to convince some other planets
too. I was thinking of making a few speeches, but some planets may
need a first-hand point of view.”
My eyes widen, “You don’t mean…”
She reaches out her hand, “Care to change the universe, Matilda?”
My heart races. I turn to Evan. “This is insane!”
“Go for it, you’ll do great.” he says with a sad smile. “I think I’ve
had enough excitement for a while now, though.”
“You’re not coming?”
He sighs. “Not this time.”
My heart sinks, but I smile, “You’re awesome, Ev.”
