A time-travel rom-com where science, sabotage, and suppressed feelings collide
Fiona Rowe is a brilliant physicist with impeccable posture and a mild fear of emotional risk. Elliot Cruz is her lab partner—equal parts genius, chaos, and owner of way too many Ramones T-shirts. Neither of them is particularly good at dating. Or timing.
So when Fiona finally works up the nerve to ask Elliot out, it seems like a scientific miracle… until their first date accidentally triggers a time travel prototype and launches them into 1776.
Now stuck riding the calendar’s most cursed day—Friday the 13th—like a temporal surfboard, they find themselves leapfrogging through history with no idea how to get home and a growing suspicion they might not just be compatible in the lab.
There will be:
- Enlightenment-era misunderstandings
- Historical heartthrobs (yes, Hamilton makes an entrance)
- Clothing-related crises
- Too many feelings
- And one slowly unfolding love story caught between logic and disaster
It started with tacos. It might end with a kiss.
Either way, Fiona and Elliot are in it now. And time is no longer neutral.
