Essie lives with her Uncle Rick, who took her in when her parents died, when she was about four. He owns a clock and watch shop and she works for him, doing almost everything needed to run the shop except dealing with the watches and clocks. The shop is losing money, so she goes to look for another job. Normal enough, right? But . . . she gets the job almost instantly, time stops when she is rescued from almost falling into a canal, one of her neighbors is murdered, she sees someone that no one else does, and she is off on a business trip with her handsome boss—to Las Vegas. And then things start to get really weird. —Tandy Ringoringo
And this kind of uncontrolled reaction we’re having right here, two strong time-stopping powers together—if we keep kissing, we won’t just create creepy frozen mannequins out of everyone around us. And I shouldn’t have used the word ripples, either, because we won’t create mere ripples, Essie. We’ll create tsunamis. People will lose time, gain time, grow older, grow younger . . . timelines will get all mixed up. The past and the present will collide. It’ll be . . . messy.
