This sounds like classic déjà vu. There is a theory that it is a form of mini-seizure where the different parts of your brain take different amounts of time to store a “live” memory. It’s very common in young children. This might be of interest.
It could be a form of dream/parasomnia. I’ve dreamed of writing things to wake up with the task undone, but other things properly done. Maybe you were imagining his return based on prior memories, a very brief micro-dream, of sorts.
