-Hi, how are you ? Patty told me, you're not doing well.
-I found two novels at the supermarket, read a summary of one of the novels and was bowled over.
-Which novels are these?
-The Notebook and The Wedding written by Nicholas Sparks. You absolutely must read these books. They made me think of us.
Derek takes the books, they look at them. He's a little skeptical, he's reading the summary. After reading the summary, he looks at Meredith. The summary is really unsettling.
-This novel is really very ... It is magnificent. I am still a little in shock.
-Okay, I'll start.
Derek lays down next to Meredith and starts reading both books, it lasts several hours. Meredith sees her face change gradually, Meredith strokes her thigh to give her support.

He sees the similarities between Noah and Allie and his love for Meredith. He is deeply interested in exploring the theme of Alzheimer's disease.
As soon as he finishes reading Derek, remains silent for a moment. Meredith speaks.
-It's okay ?
-I ... Yes, I think so.
They remain silent for a moment, then he begins to read The Wedding. This novel touches him less but it remains very beautiful especially about the character of Noah and the infinite love which by death survives between him and Allie.
Meredith stays there beside him. Derek finishes reading, puts the book down and looks at Meredith.
-These books are amazing.
-Yes, it's true.

The whole family remains silent in the face of this declaration. They do not know what to answer, they are affected by this request. Suddenly Derek has an idea, the book he read last night has deeply moved him.
-Patty if it's that you really want what you want, we can change your name and I think we would be honored to give you a name chosen by us, but you have to promise us that you don't forget who you es and that does not change personality just for us.
Patty smiles.
