Why these tropes fit

Clementine, an overworked book publicist with a carefully planned future, retreats to her late aunt's time-bending apartment to recover from a difficult year. There she meets a kind, soft-spoken Southerner with a taste for lemon pies—only to discover he lives seven years in her past while she exists in his future. As she falls for him, Clementine must wrestle with the impossibility of a romance spanning decades, knowing that love, in the end, is a matter of timing rather than time.
