Moments Become Eternity - Audrey Nyfinger's Time Traveler's Wife

"Time, place, encounter, death cannot make me give in, and my humblest desire is the least movement."

It's a beautiful, touching romance story. The protagonists of the Story of Time Traveler's Wife are the artist Claire and Henry, who suffers from time travel. Henry always travels involuntarily through time and space, occasionally disappearing for a minute, sometimes not seeing for two weeks, and even more likely to appear two Henrys in the same place in the same time and space. And the heroine Claire is in love with such a man who "comes and goes without a trace".

Henry always disappeared and appeared unpredictably. To Claire, Henry was ordinary and mysterious, he was an indispensable half of her life, but she never knew which time henry would never appear.

She has been living in a kind of worry and fear of the disappearance of her lover, and she has become calm and determined after experiencing psychological conflicts and anxieties, because the love in her heart is her beacon on the long watch road. She had been waiting, waiting for Henry to appear, even after the end of his life, she was still waiting for a certain day, waiting for the day when Henry traveled through time to see her.

It would be a terrible thing if we could foresee death and be powerless to change it, and Henry was in the midst of this long wait for death. It was a very ordinary afternoon, henry and claire invited two friends to dinner, they were joking in the kitchen, everything was so harmonious, in the whole book, such a warm, sweet scene is rare.

But the sudden heart-rending roar shattered the calm picture, and the eyes of the four men converged on the floor, where a naked man lay, blood gushing from his chest, and after a few seconds, the man disappeared. Henry and Claire's eyes met briefly at that moment, and the four of them returned to the calm, harmonious picture they had just seen, and everyone said nothing about it, but everyone knew that the naked man was him, Henry.

It has been haunting Claire's mind ever since, and one day she couldn't help but ask Henry, "What happened to you that day?" Henry was silent, because he didn't know what was wrong, he knew he was going to die, but he didn't know when he was going to die. Finally, during a time trip, he meets his daughter, a little girl who has not been born in a certain time and space, and she tells Henry that when she was five years old, Henry stopped breathing...

Henry smiled, a smile of relief, very indifferent, he was glad that his daughter would be born smoothly, before that, Claire had already miscarried twice because her daughter had traveled through time and space in her womb. Henry disappeared again, he returned to his time and space, and he told her with a big belly: Honey, she is beautiful...

Death came as expected, and this morning Henry expected his death to be tonight, and tonight, It was Christmas Eve...

Henry summoned all his friends and family, then called Claire outside the house and said, "Honey, my time has come. "They hug, cry, don't give up. Claire asks Henry why so many people watch him go, and Henry says, "Because I don't want you to suffer alone."

The time really came, Henry could not control the time and place of his time and space, he traveled to many years ago, he lay in the snow, behind him was a fawn, and in the distance was a pair of hunters, the hunter raised his shotgun to shoot at the fawn, just when Henry crossed over to this place, he fell in a pool of blood, the hunter, is Claire's father...

A few seconds later, Henry returned to the world, naked on the floor of his house, all the people gathered around, Henry's eyes began to blur, gradually... Gradually... Lost all feelings.... It was now twelve o'clock in the morning, and the sound of firecrackers and cheers outside the window drowned out the anguished voices of Henry's family in the midnight of the birth of Jesus.

Perhaps the reader has forgotten at this point that this is the story of a time traveler, Henry died at the age of 43, and at the age of thirty-one, he was thirty-six... Still living in another time and space.

Claire often waited on the grass where she first met Henry in the next few decades, waiting for Henry to cross from the other end of time and space again, although it was only a few minutes at a time, but this brief meeting was enough to keep Claire waiting for a lifetime, just like the quiet and indifferent woman on the cover of this novel, my guess was correct, and my intuition told me that she was a person who was waiting, because only a person who is accustomed to waiting will have an indifferent and indifferent expression on his face.

At the end of the novel, the 82-year-old Claire and the young Henry hug each other, and this moment becomes eternal. This is the eternity created by the love between Claire and Henry through the thick curtain of time and space.

If there is an afterlife, at which intersection will we meet? Please do not ask me about my situation with a surprised expression, let alone when and where I met you, we were left out of the door by time, but I never doubted your arrival, waiting is the only thing I can do, although it peels off the cloak of my youth, but this hot heart sprinkles the seeds of love on the grass where we meet, waiting... so... happiness......
