We cannot get into the Jeep fast enough. Nick holds the door and I practically leap inside, feeling like the good Dr. Grosbaum could, at any moment, come running after us with a meat cleaver and a tranquilizer gun. And yet…as impossible as they are, Grosbaum’s theories would explain everything. If only they’d been slightly less bizarre.

“I think I see why he’s not permitted on the Princeton campus anymore,” Nick says, backing out of the driveway.

I feel like an idiot for bringing him up here. If Grosbaum’s theories were hard for me to buy, to Nick they must seem outrageous. “I’m so sorry I dragged you into this,” I tell him.

His mouth stretches into a grin. “I forgive you, wife.”

“Yeah, what was up with that?”

He laughs. “I have no fucking clue. So, are we safe to go eat lunch or do you think the crazy time-jumping lady, who wants to stop you from destroying the world, will interrupt?”

I grin. “I think we’re safe. Besides, the impression I got from him is that this is about you, husband. Some woman wants to steal you away. Bitches be crazy and all that.”

“You should explain to her what a dud I was on our honeymoon. Maybe that will dissuade her.”

I curl up in my seat to face him. “I never said you were a dud. I said I don’t remember.”

The corner of his mouth turns upward, that dimple blinking into existence for just a moment. “That’s kind of the same thing. All I can say in my own defense is that it’d be memorable now.”

My stomach clenches with desire. I think of Trevor’s question—haven’t you ever wanted someone so much you think you’ll die if you don’t get it? I think I finally do.
