He can't tell if he's in her past or if she's in her future-- it almost feels like there's no time here at all. But it doesn't matter. A hundred years between them is still freaky either way.

"I'm Tommy-- um. Thomas Gavin."

...He has no idea why he just offered up his given name. Usually only the nuns at school require it.
