Thomas Rousseau Patriot Front

Di hari acara pernikahan, pacarku, Thomas Samono, tiba-tiba menghentikan upacara pernikahan. Hanya karena Yana Amerta mengunggah di media sosial bahwa dia telah kembali. Thomas membuang cincin pernikahan rancangannya sendiri dan meninggalkan tempat upacara pernikahan tanpa menoleh ke belakang. Aku terdiam di tempat dalam balutan gaun pengantinku, kakakku yang sedari tadi menopang melepaskanku, “Cindy Marissa, kamu selalu kuat, aku tahu kamu bisa menghadapi ini sendiri, sekarang Yana lebih membutuhkanku daripada kamu.” Setelah mengatakan itu, dia juga pergi. Mereka pergi demi wanita yang sama, meninggalkanku sendirian. Malam itu, setelah membereskan kekacauan acara pernikahan, Yana mengirimkan foto kepadaku. Dalam foto itu, Thomas dan kakakku berada di samping tempat tidurnya. Kalung buatan Thomas ada di leher Yana. Gaun pengantin rancangan kakakku dikenakan oleh Yana. Semua barang-barang ini seharusnya milikku. Akhirnya aku menyerah dan menelepon sambil menangis, “Ayah, ibu. Aku berubah pikiran, aku ingin pulang.”

When I head over to my daughter, Hannah Westfield's place for dinner during Christmas Eve, I specifically wear a wool coat for the occasion. Unexpectedly, when Hannah sees me, she pushes me out of the front door instantly. "Mom, why must you buy the same coat as my mother-in-law did? Don't you know that she hates it when others imitate her? Hurry up and take off the coat before she sees you!" Meanwhile, my son-in-law, Thomas Clifford, digs out an old coat and puts it on me. "Mom, there are many relatives visiting our house today. Please spare my mom her pride and don't steal her thunder, okay?" Seeing how sincere Thomas looks, I decide to yield. But as soon as I take my seat, Giselle Johnson chortles in amusement as she stares at the old coat I'm wearing. "Oh Fiona, if you like my clothes, you could've just said so, and I'd give it to you. It's bad if you just steal my old coat from me and wear it, you know? Besides, don't you know that those who imitate always do a bad job at it?" Furious, I'm about to up and leave when Giselle grabs the coat and blocks my way. "I placed two money envelopes in the coat pockets a few days ago. There are 20 thousand dollars in there. Why are they gone after you've worn it? "I don't mind you wearing my coat behind my back, but you must return the money to me right now!"

Eliza Ward does not fall through time. Time bends toward her. Pulled from the present into Revolutionary America, Eliza becomes trapped in a landscape where history repeats unevenly, battles restart with variations, and memory functions as both anchor and weapon. She is not a chosen heroine, but a constant: a woman whose awareness destabilizes the moment itself. She meets Mercy Hale, a midwife and witch who understands time as a negotiation rather than a force to command. Mercy aids Eliza’s survival while refusing the role of savior, having already learned the cost of standing too close to history’s center. During a looping battle, Eliza saves Thomas Reed, a Continental soldier who does not shift when time does. Thomas is an anchor: steady, observant, unchanged across iterations. Their bond deepens in an almost-normal village where time briefly behaves. Eliza’s intervention triggers time’s response. Rather than immediate destruction, time collects interest. Mercy bargains to spare Eliza and Thomas, sacrificing her own future to stabilize the present. Time extracts payment from Eliza as well, stripping away her voice, the very tool she uses to name and hold moments in place. Silenced and unmoored, Eliza is violently displaced back into the original battle. Unable to anchor the moment, she watches Thomas die in the version of history that was always waiting beneath her defiance. Told in rotating perspectives between Eliza, Thomas, and Mercy, The Hours That Refused to Behave is a lyrical time-travel novel about revolution, restraint, and consequence, asking not whether history can be changed, but who pays when it is.

Clara Moreau aimait Thomas Vernet depuis six ans. Alors qu'il était parti à l'étranger pour ses études, elle l'avait attendu patiemment. Cependant, à son retour, elle a vu Thomas tenir la main d'une autre femme. Le soir où elle était en danger, elle a appelé Thomas, mais ce dernier lui a répondu : « Ella a peur du noir. Sois un peu plus raisonnable. » Cette simple phrase lui a brisé le cœur. Désespérée, Clara s'est tournée vers l'oncle de son petit ami, refusant opiniâtrement de laisser couler ses larmes : « Vincent, emmène-moi loin d'ici. » — Plus tard, alors que Thomas suppliait à genoux, tout en larmes, Clara n'a jamais cédé d'un pouce. Au contraire, elle a pris la main de Vincent en disant : « Désormais, je suis ta tante. » L'homme à ses côtés a baissé les yeux, un sourire aux lèvres : « C'est bien vrai. »

Fate was coming once more, and this time she brought betrayals, lies, and one stubborn she-wolf that would push him past his breaking point. Will Thomas survive the new trials thrown his way? Or would he crash burn, taking everyone he ever cared about with him?
