The next day, Jasmine scrolls through her closet to find a dress to wear for her romantic lunch with Paul. It took her a few minutes until she found her favorite light purple dress and light pink shoes to match.

"Well, don't you look beautiful!" Said Paul. "Thank you. And you look handsome." Said Jasmine. "Thank you. Shall we be off?" Paul asked as he offered his arm. "Absolutely." Jasmine said as she takes Paul's arm. The two exit their house and enter Paul's car. After starting it up, Paul turns the radio on and one of the Beatles' songs starts playing. Jasmine sings along to the song.

One day you'll look to see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
Some day you'll know I was the one
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know, oooh

One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

Yea, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you'll know, oooh

One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

After the end of the song, another slow song starts playing. It was very moving, so Jasmine began to sway to the beat.

Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Yes, lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me"

Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I, I need your love
God speed your love to me

Once that song ended, Jasmine looks over at Paul and notices that he has tears in his eyes. "Honey, what's wrong?" Asked Jasmine. "My mum loved this song." Said Paul. He wipes his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket. Jasmine puts a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Do you miss her?" She asked. "I do. I miss her very much." Paul said. "I wish I could've met her." Jasmine said. "Oh, she would've loved you. I know my dad did when I first introduced you to him." Said Paul. "I remember that." Said Jasmine.

The couple exchanged smiles that lasted for a minute. "I should focus on driving, love. We'll have plenty of romance once we reach our destination." Paul said. Jasmine nods in agreement. Once Paul turned his attention back to the road, a speeding car was heading towards them. "Paul, watch out!!" Jasmine yelled. It suddenly occurred to her that the driver was drunk. Paul turns the steering wheel to move away from the other car, but the drunk driver immediately crashes into them, running the couple off the road.

Their car rolls and bounces violently, making the couple jerk from side to side very hard. Jasmine held onto her seat with a super tight grip to regain control of herself. The windows shatter and hundreds of dents appear on the car. Eventually, Jasmine and Paul jerked forwards as everything went black.
