Mark was heading towards his car, having just met Papaw Phil, Sadie's grandfather. Sadie was in LA, completing her fashion internship. She followed into Rebecca's footsteps and got into the same program, she loved fashion – she'd been with Sherri Hill since she was 16 – and this was a good chance to get to perfect the art she loved. Also her living in LA meant that Mark could see her more often, which you know was pretty cool too.

He had been in Louisiana for a short tour that he was doing with Dylan to promote his music, and Sadie had asked him to get some things for her while he was there. So there he was, taking home some more camo gear (as if he didn't have enough, but he didn't mind) and some duck specialties. Duck specialties. Never thought I'd say that.

He opened the door to the backseat, putting everything in before getting into the driver seat himself. He chuckled when he saw a little mirrorball hanging from the mirror – Sadie had given him that gift as 'the mirrorball they never got'. The mirrorball opened and had a small picture of him and Sadie inside, kind of like a pendant. He hung it in his car because it reminded him of Sadie and kept him from going completely mad while on the road, so away from home.

He turned on the radio, and Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran came on. He loved the song and the video – Brittany had done such an awesome job in it, he always felt weirdly proud watching it.

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

He has thought about it quite a lot, them growing old. Together. Sitting in the living room, with their kids and grandkids all around. They would have a big family – having seen Sadie's, he knew that was so much more fun. It makes him wonder, what the future holds for them.

Everything's so much easier right now, they're young, they've got everything they want. But once you get old – that changes. Will Sadie still love him like she does now?

And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

He knows he will love her. He knows that even when they're old, he'll still love her like he does now. His heart will skip a beat every time he'll see that beautiful smile of hers. He's so sure he'll love her forever – he can't think of any other way to live. He falls more in love with her every single day, whenever he learns something new about her, he can't help but adore the beautiful woman that he's lucky enough to have.
