The Chrononaut’s Wife

Dr. Elara Vance has built her life on logic, precision, and control. As the lead scientist at the Temporal Integrity Facility, her job is simple: observe, record, and contain the madness that follows time-travel experiments gone wrong. When Liam Byrne—a quiet craftsman from 2024—survives a catastrophic temporal event, everything she knows about physics begins to unravel. Liam should be losing his mind. Instead, he's carving birds out of plastic trays and asking her if trees still exist. As Elara studies him, a strange phenomenon emerges. His chronal instability fades when she listens, when she feels, when she cares. The data is impossible—but undeniable. Empathy itself seems to stabilize the flow of time. Drawn together by curiosity and something deeper, Elara and Liam discover a truth the universe never meant them to find: love isn't just an emotion—it's a force of nature. And together, they might rewrite the laws of reality. When the facility's director discovers their secret, Elara faces an impossible choice: betray the man she loves, or destroy the timeline itself. From the sterile corridors of a chronal lab to the infinite chaos of creation, The Chrononaut's Wife is a lyrical, heart-wrenching journey through science, sacrifice, and the paradox of love that transcends time.
