I wake in my bedroom, as expected, the blinding white behind my eyes taking me off guard only for a second before I get my bearings. Briefly, I notice my left eye isn’t red and purple anymore, just before I sag against the mirror on my closet door, all the fight draining out of me. I can barely hold myself up. The bow tie I forgot I’d be holding now drops to the floor.

I can still feel Lucy’s lips on mine. I can still feel her warm, soft body in that dress under my palms. But it’s only ghost sensations now. It isn’t real anymore. It might never be real again.

Not if I can help it.

Blue sparks appear in my side vision, and I calmly straighten, then stamp them out on the carpet. I don’t know if Marty caused this time loop, but right now I don’t care about the reason. Right now I just want to get back to Lucy. Only Lucy.

Tonight will be different—again. I’ve been given another chance—again. Maybe that’s all this is, the universe balancing out all the flubs I’ve made in my life up to now, by giving me as many do-overs as I need to make sure this one night plays out perfectly from start to finish.

Or maybe it isn’t about me having a perfect night at all. Maybe it’s about Lucy.

She planned this out, every detail. Like her dad said, she just wants it all to be perfect. And I can help her with that. She has an itinerary in her head, and the first thing on the list is “picked up by JJ.” On time. Her perfect night starts with me picking her up on time.

I pull out my phone.

Lucy: Where are you?

Me: Leaving soon
