Epilogue

Olivia found a small box on her desk at the lab. No card, of course, but she knew where it had come from. She opened it and found a top of the line iPod and a pair of Bose ear buds. The iPod had already been loaded with her music and podcasts, along with a generous selection of jazz – Coltrane, Miles, Monk, Parker, Brubeck, Jarrett – and a new playlist, simply titled "Olivia" and containing three songs – "Someone to Watch Over Me," "For Once in My Life," and "Pale Blue Eyes."

Her smile broadened as she looked up to see Peter in front of her, two cups of steaming coffee in his hands. He set a cup down in front of her - black, one sugar - and turned the iPod over in her hands before walking out of her office without saying a word.

The inscription read "You Belong with Me" and was dated two weeks ago – the day they'd healed the rift in the universe and the rift in her heart.

Peter stopped in her doorway and looked back at her. He hoped Astrid had her camera handy – but he knew he'd remember the smile on Olivia's face as long as he lived.
