Chapter 13 Summary

At first, it seems like Jane isn’t on the train, and August starts to think that it’s too late. However, she spots her, and they run toward one another. They each apologize. Jane reveals that she’s been keeping a list of things from her present, just as August has been keeping notebooks of Jane’s memories. She’s open to the idea of staying. They decide to be together until they aren’t, whether that means Jane remaining in the present or her going back to the past. They don’t know what will happen.

The next day, August explains what she learned from Jerry. It comes back to Jane, who remembers rescuing him in 1977. She got him back onto the platform and then tripped and must have fallen onto the third rail, which normally would have killed her. However, it was at the moment of the power surge. It was what threw her out of time.

August gives the postcard back to Jane, revealing that she thinks Augie sent it. When Jane first received it in 1976, she called the number on it and discovered that he was alive. He’d missed his shift at the bar that night, but when he learned what happened, he felt so sick that he left.
