[ON HOLD - Longlisted ONC 2020] After her boyfriend broke up with her, Poppy Flores declared that she wanted to start over somewhere new. The next morning, she woke up in 1951. It wasn't exactly what she was thinking when she'd said somewhere new. 

Every disorienting morning after that brought Poppy to a new year and a new place. But she soon realized that there was one thing that stayed the same. The handsome man with the mysterious smile and disheveled auburn hair. 

She saw his face in the crowds every day. 

--

Oliver Rockwell was a 19th century man with a very odd, very annoying task-to guide 21st century Poppy Flores through her journey in time. Oliver doesn't understand this new role of his, and he certainly doesn't understand Poppy. 

But when he finally figures both out, what happens when he has to give them up?
