Time has left Rae. She busied herself with work and volunteering. So many changes have occurred in her life. Her Mom and step dad have moved to a condo after the wedding. She still calls her everyday though. True to his words, Taylor joined  the Navy after finishing high school and is now stationed in Okinawa. He sometimes would expressed his anxiety that she lives by herself  which she would laugh off. " I'm alone but not lonely," she would always reply to his queries." Don't be a worry-wart."

And Ryder? She's now engaged and has moved-in with her fiance She will wed this summer in a beautiful cottage in Long Island. 

Everyone  seemed to have moved on with their own lives.

She sometimes find herself wondering how her life had turned out if she went back to Liam. It would end the same way, of course, with her being on her own as death will separate them early in life. But she will never exchange it for anything else, no matter short-lived it was. She regretted, everyday that she wakes up, her decision years ago.Now, she only sees him in her  dreams.

He was again in his garden, sipping coffee. She noticed that his flowers have become more colourful. She can smell the sweet roses from afar.She also heard this distinct sound. Oh! It's the sunflower farm buzzing with bumblebees. " Gosh, look at that giant seedpods!"Rae was like an ecstatic little girl on a field trip,  walking to the daisy patch and admiring its dainty white petals and yellow pollens.

As always, Rae is awakened by an alarm clock.Unlike in the past, she wakes up with a smile on her face. Liam is still alive... in her dreams.
