When retired engineer Calvin Finch discovers a crashed satellite in his petunias, he expects government agents, not a sarcastic AI named Hope who claims to be from the future. But Hope reveals something far more shocking: Calvin's late wife Margie stole the satellite's core component decades ago—and she wasn't the ordinary woman he remembered. As Calvin uncovers Margie's secret past as a time-travel pioneer, he must choose between revisiting their life together or honoring the love she sacrificed everything to build. A humorous, heartwarming story about second chances, buried secrets, and the gravity of forever.
