He has not yet been to the times and places where they have met before. He then falls in love with her, as she was already in love with him since she was six years old. His continuous absences with time traveling and returning knowing more and more about their future, makes their relationship very challenging. The continuous absence also worries Clare more and more every day as she fells alone in their marriage and their life together.

Time is such a precious issue in this film and shows that even though Henry travels from past, present and future, Clare is living life only in the present.

As they shot the scenes of Henry and Clare together at the different times and places show how their relationship grows and so does the love for one another.
