Part 4, Chapter 13 Summary

Oona gains consciousness on a subway. A young woman tries to help her up and calls her ma’am, leading Oona to believe she is no longer young. The young woman says she has the pen Oona asked for and notes she seemed upset when she asked. Before Oona gets off the subway, the woman says Oona mentioned an Edward and a Peter.

When Oona gets home, there is a handsome man with an English accent waiting for her outside. He says his name is Edward and that he is her husband. He explains that Oona told him she loses her memory every New Year’s Eve and that this is his first experience with it. He seems cautious, trying to see what she remembers and doesn’t, and says he hoped she would remember him. Oona wonders if the C in her tattoo is for his last name, Clary. He convinces her they are married by telling her details about her life and then gives her the annual letter as well as her wedding and engagement rings, which he says he was holding for her.

The letter says that Edward is wonderful and makes her happy; he believes the memory story and doesn’t know about her time traveling.
