Emily: Oh, my God.
Mary: What?
Emily: Oh, my God.
Mary: What is it? What's wrong?
Emily: Look, look, down there.
Mary: What? There's -- there's nothing there. Did -- did you see someone?
Emily: I saw Nikolas.
Emily: He was right there.
Mary: Well, I didn't see anybody, Emily.
Emily: No, wait, you blocked my view for just -- just a second. Maybe he went towards Kelly’s or --
Mary: Wait, wait, wait. You're really upset, and the fog is -- it's thick. You shouldn't run around like this.
Emily: I have to know, Mary.
Mary: Just -- just take a breath, okay? Take a breath, and then we'll find whoever it was together.
Emily: Okay.
Mary: Okay?
Emily: You're right. You're right. What am I doing? We both know that -- that I couldn't have seen Nikolas. It -- it was probably some dock worker with dark hair, or -- or maybe no one was here at all.
Mary: Come here. Sit down.
Emily: All right.
Mary: Sit down.
Emily: Oh, my God.
Mary: You're okay. You loved Nikolas. It's not unusual for you to think that you could've seen him, Emily. This happened to me all the time. When I first lost Connor, I -- I spotted him in a crowd, or I’d walk past a shop, and there he'd be. But he wasn't there. He was dead, and he -- he couldn't magically appear one night and make everything okay.
Emily: I know, and Nikolas can't, either. I know that. I'm -- I'm not deluded. I just -- I just feel like I’m still waiting for him to come back.
Mary: Grief is a horrible thing. It makes you desperate. I'm not surprised that your mind was playing tricks on you.
Emily: I just -- I still see and feel him everywhere, Mary. I mean, we pretty much grew up here. Every time I walk by Kelly’s, I remember us hanging out there as kids. And I -- I can't look out onto the water without thinking of him holding me against the wind all the way to Spoon Island. And sometimes at night, I feel like he's still sleeping next to me. I can actually feel his heart against mine. And it's this amazing moment of peace. And then I bolt awake and I realize it was just a dream.
Mary: It's hard to be alone.
Emily: It's harder not to hope for a miracle, Mary. You know, we never found Nikolas' body. I -- I thought that Nikolas was lost to me before, and then he came back. And so I guess I understand why my heart reaches out now and then.
Mary: Oh. Connor?
'Connor': I've been waiting for you.
Mary: Let me guess -- peanut butter and jelly.
'Connor': Yeah, well, this time there was even less preparation involved. Huh? A tour of great cheeses and a good bottle of wine.
Mary: What did I do to deserve you?
'Connor': You loved me.
Mary: Loving you is easy, Connor.
'Connor': No, not always. You've -- you've been through hell with me, and I just -- I just wanted to show you how much I appreciate everything that you do for me and apologize if it ever seems like I take it for granted.
Mary: Where'd you get all this stuff?
'Connor': The cheese shop in town. And then on my way home, I went for a walk on the waterfront.
Mary: You -- you went back into town.
'Connor': Yeah, I didn't think there was really any risk. But then, see, then I heard voices on the docks and I came right back here to you.
Mary: Mmm. That's delicious.
'Connor': Yeah. Um -- all right. So now there's -- there's something I need to ask you.
Mary: Why? What? It sounds serious.
'Connor': Um, yeah. When I -- I came back to you basically a new man, you know, with no memories of who I was or what we had with each other. But you've -- you've treated me with such love and such -- such respect that I’ve learned to love you all over again.
Mary: You don't know how long I’ve been wanting you to say that.
'Connor': I don't -- I don't even -- I don't know your maiden name, but that's okay because I know the best things about you. I know your heart. So -- well, here I am on bended knee, asking you with all the love and sincerity that I have, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?
Mary: I can’t.
'Connor': People renew their vows all the time, Mary.
Mary: Not out of guilt.
'Connor': Guilt?
Mary: I think you want to renew our vows because you're trying to convince yourself that we belong together. You're trying to make yourself believe that this could work.
'Connor': I'm not trying to convince myself of anything. I -- I love you. Every day, I'm more sure of that.
Mary: Well, you're a good man, Connor, and you care about me out of obligation.
'Connor': Oh-- Mary, this isn't about obligation. We're husband and wife, okay? I want to look you in your eyes and make those promises to you. I want us to share a wedding that we both remember.
Mary: Is this really happening?
'Connor': Yes. Yes, believe it. You -- you made me fall for you all over again, and I want us to spend the rest of our lives together. So -- so will you do it? Will you marry me again?
Mary: Are you sure you love me?
'Connor': Yes. Yes, with -- with all my heart, whether I remember it or not. I still feel it. It's a part of me.
Mary: But you're sure it's for me?
'Connor': Mary, who else would it be for? You're everything that I know. And today -- today I finally understood your concerns about losing me. And you know why? Because I was worried that I could lose you, too. And I don't know what I would do if we were separated.
Mary: I won't go anywhere. I'm here, Connor, whether we renew our vows or not.
'Connor': The love I feel for you -- it's only going to grow. You know, and I just -- I want us to do something that represents our commitment now. I want us -- I want us to declare our love for each other before God. So -- so will you let me off the hook already and say yes?
Mary: Yes. Yes, yes! Of course I'll marry you!
