Priest: Connor.
'Connor': Shh, shh. She's asleep.
Priest: Oh. Such a lovely young woman. She lost her fiancée not long ago. We had the memorial service here. Father Ramirez conducted the service.
'Connor': Yeah, I was here at the door of the church.
Priest: You know her?
'Connor': Never spoken to her.
Priest: Perhaps it's time the two of you met.
'Connor': Father, Father, just -- you know what, just let her sleep. She looks so peaceful; I don't have the heart to wake her up. I really need to get home, anyway.
Priest: Oh, I left your wages on the altar.
'Connor': Yeah, I found the envelope, thank you.
Priest: Oh, and one of the women in the parish made a plate of cookies for the young man who painted the church. Wait right here. I'll get it.
'Connor': Okay.
Priest: Shall we begin?
Emily: I want to thank you, dear God, for the miracle of your love, for the time you gave me and Nikolas together, for the years I had to grow up and to realize that he was more than a handsome boy who was out of my reach. He's the man I want to build my life around. I want to stand by his side every day that we live. And I ask you, dear God, to please, please help me to love him the way he deserves to be loved -- with patience and understanding and passion. And I pray that I will never lose sight of how blessed I am to be his wife.
'Connor': I, Nikolas, take thee, Emily, to be my wife. I promise to share your burdens and keep your secrets. I promise that I will stand by your side no matter what challenges we face. I promise to trust you and believe in you, and I promise that I will love you forever. I give you this ring as a symbol of my life and my faith.
Emily: I, Emily, take thee, Nikolas, to be my husband. I promise to have your children and to support you through good times and bad. I promise to believe in you and to trust you with all of my secrets and hopes and fears. And I promise that I will love you forever. I don't have a ring to give you, so I give you my heart instead.
Priest: You may kiss the bride.
Emily: Nikolas?
Priest: Are you all right?
Emily: My dream was so real. Nikolas and I were getting married right there at the altar. I could feel his hands in mine as we said our vows. And then I woke up. And for a split second, I was sure he was actually here.
Priest: I'm so sorry.
Emily: It hurts so much knowing that he's never coming back.
Priest: You'll always have memories and some measure of solace in the time you had together.
Emily: Thanks for everything, Father.
Priest: Why don't you stay a while? I'll brew some tea.
Emily: No, I need to get home.
Priest: Well, it's pouring rain and the storm will let up in a bit. Just stay a half-hour?
Emily: No, I'll be fine, thank you.
Tires screech and the car crashes.
'Connor': Emily? Emily? Are you okay? It's okay. It's okay. Here. Oh, God. Emily? Emily, are you okay? Oh, God.
Mary: My God, Emily.
'Connor': Yeah, I was walking on the side of the road and her car spun into a ditch.
Mary: She's unconscious.
'Connor': She's got a pretty nasty cut on her head right here.
Mary: I'll take care of her.
'Connor': We need to call for help, Mary.
Mary: I will, but first you need to get out of sight.
'Connor': Well, I'll just -- I'll help you till the ambulance gets here.
Mary: No, I don't want her to know you're here. You're an AWOL marine. She could say something. People could come back here and look for you.
'Connor': Okay. All right, I’ll be in my room.
Emily: Mary?
Mary: You were in a car accident.
Emily: I remember. You -- you found me?
Mary: Yeah. Yeah, you have a pretty nasty bump on your head. Do you feel hurt anywhere else?
Emily: I -- I don't think so.
Mary: It was raining pretty hard out there. You must have hit a slick spot and lost control.
Emily: No. I saw a man by the side of the road. It was Nikolas.
Jason is talking on the phone in progress...
Jason: Okay. Well, don't let them leave. It's very important. I'm on my way.
Phone rings.
Jason: Yeah?
Mary: Jason Morgan?
Jason: Who's asking?
Mary: This is Mary Bishop. We met at the hospital.
Jason: How'd you get this number?
Mary: Your sister asked me to call you. She's been in an accident.
Jason: What happened? Is she hurt?
Mary: She ran her car into a ditch. She's at my house.
Jason: Where are you?
Mary: 22 Black Bear Way, between the river and the church where the memorial was.
Jason: Okay, I'm on my way.
Emily: It couldn't have been Nikolas. I know that in my head. But I guess in my heart, I just can't let go.
Mary: I know what you mean. The same thing happened to me with Connor.
Emily: I just -- I keep feeling Nikolas' presence, Mary. I just -- and seeing him everywhere. You know, I -- I fell asleep in the church and I dreamed about Nikolas, and we were getting married. And then I woke up and I just -- I had this overwhelming sense that he had actually been there in the church with me.
Mary: That's how much you miss him.
Emily: I think my heart aches so deeply for Nikolas that I’m actually in pain. I think that's why my eyes keep playing tricks on me, why I thought I saw him at the car door after the crash and along the road in the rain. But it -- it was you who rescued me, Mary. Thank you. I don't mean to seem ungrateful. I just --
Mary: No, no. I understand.
Knock on door.
Jason: Hey.
Emily: Hey.
Jason: How you feeling?
Emily: Better.
Jason: Yeah, you hit your head. Are you dizzy? You nauseous? Anything?
Emily: No, uh-uh. I think I'm just feeling more ridiculous than anything. I -- I lost control of my car and I put Mary to all of this trouble having to haul me all the way back here. I'm fine.
Jason: Yeah, I saw your car. It's more than a mile down the road. I mean, you couldn't have carried Emily back here. How'd she get here?
Mary: I was driving by when I saw Emily’s car on the side of the road. I managed to get her in the passenger seat and drove home.
Jason: Well, I'm going to carry you out of here, okay?
Emily: I didn't hurt my legs, Jase. I'm fine.
Jason: Well, will you at least lean on me so I can help you?
Emily: Yeah, I think I can manage.
Jason: All right, come on. Oh, yeah.
Emily: Ah.
Jason: Okay.
Emily: All right.
Jason: Just be careful.
Emily: Thanks, Mary. Thank you.
Mary: You're welcome. I'm glad you're okay.
Emily: Thank God Mary drove by and found me. Lorenzo Alcazar?
Jason: Yeah, I wonder what it was doing at Mary’s house.
Emily: I don't know. Come on.
Mary: You can come out now. They're gone.
'Connor': Who was that guy?
Mary: Emily's brother.
'Connor': Was he questioning you?
Mary: Yeah, a little. Why, how much did you hear?
'Connor': Well, I was tempted to eavesdrop, but the last time I tried to do that, I almost gave myself away, so I just sat on the floor out of sight of the window, waiting to hear from you.
Mary: I'm glad. It's better if Emily doesn't know you're here.
