Carly: "Jack, I don't mean to turn you against her. I just needed you to know all the facts. The last thing I would want is for you to hate the person that kept you alive all this time. I will be forever grateful to her for that reason and that reason only. I never stopped waiting for you."

Jack: "I knew there had to be something more out there for me...I just couldn't wrap my finger around it. Deep inside I could feel your heart aching for me. I just didn't know why, or where you were."

Carly: "Jack, when you talk to me like that it takes everything in me to not reach out and grab you and show you your place in my life and yours. I feel like even though you are right in front of me, you're really not. I feel like you're a million miles away. I feel like my heart is filled with emotions that I don't know how to control, or if I can. I have never felt like this before, Jack. And it scares me; it scares me to think that our life may be lost to you forever because the only two people it's important to are me and you. Without one half, it will never be whole. I want that wholeness back, Jack."

Jack: "(Takes her hands, feeling a shock he has never experienced since the accident) I will do whatever it takes, Carly. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it."

Carly: "Is it selfish for me to want the first thing done be getting Julia out of the picture?"

Jack: "Not in the least. I'm yours, and you're mine. Forever..."

Carly: "(Tears well up in her eyes of emotion) I never thought I would hear that word uttered in such simplicity again, Jack. That's me and you, forever." (She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a tiny golden object.)

Jack: "My wedding band? Where'd you find that?"

Carly: "Near the Snyder Pond, Jack. This ring is what kept me going, kept me searching for you."

Jack: "I can't believe I let Julia talk me into getting rid of it. She really must have been desperate as to allow someone without a past to throw out the only piece left of their life."

Carly: "(Looks at her watch) Look, it's getting pretty late. I know that you have an obligation to Julia, as much as I don't like it."

Jack: "I will talk to Julia as soon as I get home. (Carly gets uncomfortable hearing Jack call somewhere else home) Look, I didn't mean it like that. It's just been where I have been living these past few months."

Carly: "Before you go, Jack, I need to see something. (Steps closer to him) I need to see something for myself. (She wraps her arms around Jacks neck and kisses him full force, full of passion and hunger. Jack responds which sends a jolt through each of them that hasn't been present in months. It lingers on for several long moments, neither ready to let go. Finally Carly pulls back, out of breath and whispers) Jack, I'll be waiting...(She pulls back and walks away only quickly glancing back at Jack staring blissfully at her)"

Jack: "(Alone) God, How am I gonna survive without her near me tonight? The magic, the sparks; I love it."

Suddenly Jack has a flashback of him and Carly in a passionate lip-lock. Then it vanishes.

Jack feels a cold chill run up his spine, and he smiles as he walks to his car.

Carly arrives to the hotel and finds Rosanna out like a light bulb. She quietly gets ready for bed and falls comfortably into one of the best sleeps she encountered in weeks...

Jack gets home and finds his "Wife" in bed. He gets ready and walks downstairs. He sprawls out on the couch and begins having visions of Carly when she was being taken away from him to Hong Kong, but he felt the anger and pain of thinking she was leaving him on their wedding day. Then when she let him in on who was really Parkers father. He wakes up in a cold sweat and rises off the couch. He walks out onto the front porch and takes a deep breath of Fresh air. He began to wonder if he and Carly were really in "Love" or not....these visions made him stop and think.

Across town at the hotel, Carly awoke at the loud sound of Rosanna snoring. She gazes up at the ceiling as she tries to fall back asleep. Jack's face, his touch, his eyes...all kept racing through her mind. He was real; he was really alive. She needed to take some action, and soon. Before Julia could sink her claws in any deeper and twist this whole mess around.

The night went by slowly since when they were both awake, all they could think about was each other. Jack wondering what those memories held...the real truth deep down inside of them. Carly longing for his touch, his whole self.

As morning crept in, Jack felt a touch on his shoulder. He knew who it was and he turned around unwillingly, but he had to know the truth.

Julia: "Where'd you disappear to last night, Jack? I woke up and you weren't there."

Jack: "(Scratches his head uncomfortably) I gotta know something...I gotta know if there's another family out there for me."

Julia: "Jack, we already discussed what dissecting your past might do. Do you really want to endure that upon yourself?"

Jack: "You know what, I think what you should be asking yourself if you really want me to do it because you know what I will find out and you won't like it. You know something you're not letting up, Julia."

Julia: "I know nothing, Jack. And that's the god honest truth. I swear. I would never lie to you about that."

Jack: "Fine, I will find out on my own."

Julia: "Ok, if that's what you want to do, then do it. But I don't think there's anyone out there who will ever have the same kind of feelings that I have for you."

Jack: "Oh, I completely agree with you on that one."

Days go by and Carly still hasn't heard from Jack. She stares helplessly out the window as she is torn on what to do. If she tracks Jack down, he will think she doesn't trust him enough to give him space and he will wonder if she's always been this way, but if she leaves him be, maybe he'll think she's forgotten about him and she really didn't care.

Rosanna: "Carly, standing there like that isn't gonna help you where Jack is concerned."

Carly: "(Faces her) I know Rosanna, bit maybe he really doesn't want to remember what we had. Maybe he wants to forget me..."

Rosanna: "(Cuts her off) Stop that...Stop talking like you lost Jack to some Bimbo by the name of Julia Larabee. What, you think she'll cry a puddle of tears and Jack will resume his responsibilities in her life. Well, she can drown in her snot and tears before I let you give up on Jack. You guys are magic, and it's gonna take more than that witch to take it all away from you."

Carly: "But why wouldn't Jack come and find me? It's been over a week now, Rosanna. That obviously means that he doesn't..."

Rosanna: "Don't you even finish that sentence, missy. You have to have faith, Carly. You can't just expect Jack to come to in such a short amount of time. Yeah, he needs space, but he also needs you. You've lost too much time already; you need to go and get him."

Carly: "Where do I start? (A knock is heard on the door.) Uhh, who could that be?"

Rosanna: "I got it. (She walks over and opens the door. A man hands her an envelope and leaves. She shuts the door as she eyes it curiously) Here."

Carly: "(Takes the envelope) What is it?"

Rosanna: "Open it...it may be from Parker or something. Hal did call and ask for the address. "

Carly: "Oh, I wonder..."

Carly rips the seal, and unfolds it in a hurry. She glances at the writing and her heart skips a beat.

Rosanna: "Well..."

Carly: "It's from, it's from Jack."

Rosanna: "What's it say?"

Carly: "Carly, I know it's been a while. I'm sorry. I have been thinking about you non-stop, and I just need to know something. Why didn't you come back to me? I have been waiting for you...I need to see you again. Meet me at our special place as the sun begins to set. Jack

Rosanna: "(Smiles) There you go, he does want to see you. That's great news."

Carly: "Maybe we can make it through this after all."

Rosanna: "You will make it through this, because I am not going to let you walk away without that man beside you, holding your hand. (Carly smiles)

Later in the afternoon, Jack walks over to Julia who's doing the dishes.

Jack: "I have some errands to run soon. I may not be home till late, so you don't need to wait up."

Julia: "Jack, there's always errands to run. Why? Did I do something wrong?"

Jack: "No, absolutely nothing. It's this job, you see. It's been keeping me really busy lately."

Julia: "Ok, I trust you. Just be safe."

Jack: "No need to worry. (He grabs his coat, wave's good-bay and heads out the door.)"

JJ comes running down the stairs.

JJ: "(Yells) Jack! Jack, look I have something to show... (Stops when he doesn't see Jack) Mom, where's Jack?"

Julia: "He's doing some work, sweetie. He'll be back later."

JJ: "He's been working too much, mom. He said he'd always be here for us, and he's never home. I hate him, and I hate you for marrying him!"

Julia: "JJ, please calm down. You don't mean that."

JJ: "Yes I do, I hate this whole stupid house! I am leaving and I never wanna come back. (He runs out the door)"

Julia: "(Runs after him) JJ, get back here now! JJ, JJ!!!"

She slams the door and sits on the porch fuming with anger. She decides to give him some time, seeing as how the last time he did this, he came home not long after...

Minutes later, Jack arrives at the boathouse only to find Carly already there. She has her back turned toward him, and he smiles. He walks over quietly and sits beside her looking out at the river.

Jack: "I'm glad you came. I haven't been able to get you off my mind."

Carly: "Likewise. I thought you forgot..."

Jack: "Forgot what? About you? I could never forget such a beautiful sight. (She turns to face him, and he smiles at her beauty. He slowly lifts her chin melting his lips to her for a long, electrifying kiss. When he pulls away, she is lost for words.)"

Carly: "Jack..."

Jack: "Tell me something."

Carly: "Anything."

Jack: "Tell me how we used to be. How we used to love. How we used to live."

Carly: "The day I met you was when life began."

Jack: "How so?"

Carly: "I saw you and my heart skipped a beat."

Jack: "And..."

Carly: "And from that day on I knew there was no other man in the world for me that you and there was no other woman for you but me."

Jack: "That's it? It was that simple?"

Carly: "(Sighs) I wish it were that simple. I wish life made perfect sense."

Jack: "What then?"

Carly: "I lied, I cheated, I lied some more. But I never stopped loving you and you never stopped loving me as hard as we tried."

Jack: "What about me? What did I do to you?"

Carly: "Nothing...nothing as horrible as the things I did to you. You loved me and I pushed you away. You trusted me and I broke that trust. You name it, I did it."

Jack: "What happened then?"

Carly: "Sage happened, Jack. Sage made life worth living for both of us. Sage made us learn what it was like to be real, to raise a family, and to love unconditionally as one. As not you or me, but as we."

Jack: "Sounds so easy, so beautiful."

Carly: "Sage is beautiful; our love is beautiful. There's absolutely nothing like it."

Jack: "What, our love?"

Carly: "Yes, it's not your ordinary kind of love. It's magic, it's real, and it's very unique. It's what makes us, well us. It's what binds us together for life. We're not just bound by those vows we spoke, but by the love we share."

Jack: "I wish I remembered. I really wish I didn't feel like I am disappointing you by losing it all."

Carly: "I am hardly disappointed. But I did lose it all, in only a matter of minutes. When they told me they were going from rescue to recovery, the light inside me vanished and darkness over took me. I felt like my body was empty, and I just wanted to curl up in a ball and die right then, right there. But Parker and Sage needed me; they let me see the light again. They were my inspiration to pull it together. They were the reason I am here at this very moment. I thank god every day that I have them.(As she finishes, tears are streaming down her face.)"

Jack: "Don't cry, darling. I'm here, and you're safe with me. (He pulls her into an embrace as she sniffles)"

Carly: "I told myself I wouldn't cry anymore. God, why can't I ever do anything right?"

Jack: "Shh...it's ok. It's ok. I got you, and I will have you forever. I will never let you go...just like you never let me go."

Carly: "I love you so much, Jack. (Pulls back) So, how did Julia take the news about me being here in St. Genevieve?"

Jack: "(Hesitates) Well, I haven't exactly told her yet."

Carly: "Why not, Jack?"

Jack: "Ok, first off, please don't be mad. I just was giving her up until today to see if she would confess that she knew about you before I told her. I wanted her to fess up, but she didn't."

Carly: "Jack, you're not saying that you'll forgive her if she confesses to all, are you?"

Jack: "Oh, no. Not at all. I just wanted it to be all smoothed out, but she has taken it upon herself to crew herself over. She will never be able to replace you; not in a million years...make that infinite."

Carly: "(Smiles) Jack, I know you mean well, but she will come after me when she finds out. She will be furious at you for lying to her."

Jack: "Carly, she lied to me for weeks. She kept me from you, and from out family. She deserves to pay for what she has done, and I already have the perfect plan."

Carly: "Jack, what are you talking about?"

Jack: "Well, it starts with this... (He softly kisses her lips, and whispers) then this... (He kisses her cheek, and down her neck) now back here... (He passionately presses his lips into hers and they mold together like two perfect puzzle pieces. The passion continues and the heat between them begins to build.)

JJ: "Jack...(His eyes pop open in shock)"
