On a crowded street in 1944, a school dance in 1958, a far away land in the 1500s, and now, in 2023, on a bench in Centennial Park.
Elizabeth, or Betty, James has spent her entire life in relationships, after all, she is a hopeless romantic; emphasis on the hopeless. It seems her entire life has been full of one-sided love affairs; Betty gives her all, and gets nothing in return, until one random encounter on a bench in a park in Tennessee.
Taylor has been in many relationships, she even thought she had been in THE relationship, but now here she is on the bench that has been dedicated to her in Centennial Park, talking to an oddly familiar stranger about everything and nothing.
And though they can't explain it, Taylor and Betty knew from the moment they shared that bench, that they had met before. Maybe it was in the 1500s in a foreign land, or a crowded street in 1944, or maybe it was a school dance in 1958, but they knew this random day in 2023 was not the first time they had ever fallen in love.
