Owen was stumbling over his own feet by the time he got to Kate's room. "Kate! Kate! I know what I'm going to do! I know what my big gesture will be!"
"Whoa! Slow down Casanova. Don't you have your own room to go to or something?"
"Kate, I know what my 'big gesture' is going to be!"
"Ya, ya I heard… so, what is it?"
"Look." Owen handed Kate the journal.
"Oh my God, Owen! This is Lila's journal! It's more important to her than her own life! It has all of her deepest thoughts and secrets. She never lets anyone see it! Why do you have it?"
"She left it when she ran off."
"Wow, girls are running away from you now. Why am I not surprised?" Kate said jokingly.
"I'm being serious Kate! Lila said she was planning her mom's funeral in here."
"Okay, I'm officially lost. Why do you want the plans to her mom's funeral?"
"So I can plan it for her!" he paused to let Kate catch up, then he added, "You should have seen her earlier Kate, she was so messed up when she was trying to plan the funeral. It was like it was eating her alive."
"So let me get this straight, your big romantic gesture is going to be planning her mother's funeral? That's the biggest long shot in history."
"I know, but I feel like this is what I need to do… for her. If I don't do this, then I let her get eaten away by her pain. I can't let her do this all on her own."
"So you're going to go through her most personal thoughts in her journal just to find the page about the funeral? I don't think she would like that."
"That's the only problem, I can't invade her privacy like that, not after everything I put her through. That's where you come in."
"Excuse me? I am not going through her journal! She never lets me look at it anyways, what makes you think she would let me read through it all?"
"Well, I bet if one of us were to go through her journal to find that page, she would want it to be you rather than me. And besides, you won't be reading through it all, you'd be skimming through it until you find the right page."
"I would still be invading her privacy. What makes you think I would do that? Just for you to do a stupid 'gesture'?"
"It's not just about the gesture anymore, it's about helping out a friend who's struggling through a hard time. The gesture is just a bonus."
"UGH! Fine, but if she gets pissed, it's your fault."
"I know, I know. Just find that page quickly so we can start planning this funeral."
