Setting: Jamie and Landon have returned to their house after going on a honeymoon to Hawaii.
As they walk in, Landon looks at Jamie. "So how does it feel to return home Mrs. Landon Carter?" "It feels like my life couldn't get any better." They drop their bags off and start to unpack talking about all the things they did in Hawaii. "The sunset on out last night was beautiful," Jamie says to Landon. "It was great. Although I have seen prettier things" Landon responds as he reaches over pulling Jamie into his arms, and kisses her.
Later that night, they are sitting on their porch swing cuddled together with Landon having put his arms around Jamie. As they sit there together looking up at the stars, Landon says to Jamie "is this perfect or what?" And the only thing Jamie could do was smile at him, hoping the rest out her life would be like this. And knowing that no matter what happens, they will have each other.
A few weeks later, as Jamie goes to take a shower, she starts to feel dizzy. She sits down on the bed where Landon is still half asleep. As she starts to sit, Landon can see that something is wrong. He immediately gets up and rushes to her side asking what is wrong. When she suddenly falls back onto the bed, he starts to think the worst. 'Our time is over. This can't be it.'
At the hospital, Landon and Jamie are talking to a doctor. The doctor says, "Although there is a small chance that this will work, there is one possibility that might beat most of the leukemia." At that Jamie and Landon are listening very carefully giving the doctor their full attention. "There is a small possibility that this will work. With Jamie's type of leukemia, a bone marrow transplant might give her the chance for a full recovery. Although finding a match is extremely difficult. And since we would need to do it so soon, the longer it takes to find a match, the less chance there is for this to work. I'll give you two some time to think about this." And with that the doctor left the room.
"Jamie, this could work." "Landon, you heard him. There is only a small chance it will work. Besides, it'll be nearly impossible to find a match so soon." "I know a ton of people who would be willing to be tested, and would go through with it. What do you say, it's better than not trying." "I don't want my life to be full of pain. If I'm going to die, I want it to happen because that is when god intended me to go" "But what if god wanted you to live longer? What if that's why you fainted today?" "All right, I'll try it"
