Part 5, Chapter 54 Summary

Alice decides to stay in her 40-year-old life, which she is now two weeks into. On her way to visit Sam in New Jersey, she listens to a podcast in which the hosts discuss Leonard’s two time-travel novels. They note that he didn’t publish his first novel until he was 38. They mention that Leonard married Deborah, the actress who plays the teenage girl’s mother in the movie adaptation of his second novel, Dawn of Time, and Alice reflects that she enjoys the endless surprises her time traveling has set in store for her.

Part 5, Chapter 55 Summary

In New Jersey, Alice is happy to see that Sam is pregnant. She cries to Sam about her father. Sam tells her that a guy they went to high school with, Kenji Morris, lives in her neighborhood. He’s divorced, with kids, but Sam insists he’s much hotter than she remembers from high school. This is a novelty for Sam, but Alice has seen her high school peers over and over again. Alice asks Sam how she knew she wanted to marry her husband, but Sam says it’s never been a certainty so much as making the same choice to be with him on a consistent basis.
