Landon Carter drove through the familiar town with bittersweet memories hanging in his mind. He was going home. It had been four years since he had graduated high school and he had been in medical school for two more years. It had also been five and a half years since Jamie had died. But, for now he was going home for the summer. Back to Beaufort, back to so many memories. Granted he was just back there to tell everyone his good fortune. But, it wasn't but for a few days. He'd be spending an entire summer there. How he'd get through it he wasn't sure. But, he knew that somehow he would and that Jamie would be there watching over him. As he pulled into the driveway of his mother's house he thought back to the many times he drove up to this house. "Landon!" His mother called from the porch. He looked up and smiled. She walked down the stairs as Landon got out of the car. "Hey Mama." He gave her a hug. "As I live and breathe, it's my baby." They broke the hug. "Well, let me look at you, still as handsome as ever." He smiled. They started towards the house. "So, how's Dani?" Landon nodded. "Dani's good. She's going home to New York for the summer." "Oh, I was hoping that I could get to know her better. You know, since she's more than your friend now." "Well, I'll call her and ask her again." "Good." They went in the house to settle in.
Dani opened the door to her home. "Mom! Dad! I'm back." There was silence. She made her way to her room. As she passes the other rooms, she saw her brother asleep in his room. Granted neither one of them lived with their parents anymore they still had their rooms to come back to. Her brother Fabrizio (but, she called him Ritz) was two years older and an artist. He always protected her no matter what. She put her bags down and went back to Ritz's room. Just as she was about to tickle him his arms tickled her sides. As she laughed she told him to stop. After he did they stopped and hugged. "Well, if it isn't my baby sister." Dani stuck her tongue out at him, "Hey, I'm only two years younger than you are Ritz." "Yes, but it's those two years that make all the difference. But, it's good to see you. Where are mom and dad?" Dani shrugged. "Don't know they weren't here when I got here." "Same here." He got up and headed towards the kitchen. Dani followed and saw him drinking the milk right out of the carton. She chuckled and said, "Some things never change."
A few days later while walking through Central Park when her cell phone rang. "Hello?" "Dani?" "Yes." "It's Landon." "I know who you are. What can I do for you?" "Come to Beaufort." "What? Why? I'm happy in New York right now, thank you very much." "Please Dani! I wouldn't be asking if I didn't need you here." Dani sighed and found a bench to sit on. Her voice grew quiet. "Landon, why?" Landon sighed and sat at the kitchen table. He'd have to tell her sooner or later. "I told everyone we were together." "Well, UN-tell them. Besides, why on earth would you say something like that?" He sighed. "Because, they don't believe I'm over Jamie." "You're not." Landon paused, taken aback. "Ouch Dani, that hurt." Dani sighed, "I'm sorry Landon, but it's the truth." Dani took a deep breathe knowing that she'd regret what she was about to say later. "But, I'll do it." Landon let out the breath that he was holding. "Thank you Dani." "Yea, well you'll owe me big time later." For the rest of the conversation they arranged what was going to happen and how things would go. When they did hang up Dani couldn't believe that she was abandoning her time off from school to help Landon. Then again, deep down inside, maybe it was something else.
