Colleen has known Garrett since she was ten years old when he traveled back to her time with his father and was forced to stay.

Garrett has struggled for years because he had to live in the past instead of the time he was born in. In his time, he was gifted at math and computer science, but in his new life, he wasn’t allowed to push himself academically. After all, he isn’t supposed to change history. Frustrated at being held back, Garrett became self-destructive by drinking too much and isolating himself from people.

But once she finds him, will she be forced to give up the idea of love between them when she finds out how happy he is in his time?
