you really like him.

So isn't he worth fighting

for?

I don't know what to do God.

I know what I want, but, I

can't forgive myself for what I

did.

How can anybody else?

Help me... Help me be strong

Help me not be afraid.

Help me to forgive myself that

I might be happy again.

[ PHONE RINGING ]

[ UNCLE LYLE VOICE MESSAGE ]

Hi Isabelle,

Just calling about an event

we're having tomorrow for the

foundation.

You can call me and I can give

you more details about it.

You're doing good.

I feel a little out of my

element.

Well that's a good thing every

now and then.

There you go.

Thank-you. Thank-you.

He's just a kid.

Yes...

I think it was easier when I

just thought of them as a

faceless bunch.

Opens your eyes doesn't it?

Yeah.

I'm glad you could come.

Me too. You know, I've

actually been thinking, if

it's alright with you,

I'd like to be a little bit

more involved in the foundation.

I don't know how much help I'd

be.

I know I don't know very much,

but I'd kind of like to try.

Of course.

Yeah?

Are you happy Isabelle?

I'm trying to be.

I only ask because you've been

different since you came back.

Isn't that good thing? I

mean...

Somewhat yes. But I still need

to know that you're happy. I

mean truly happy.

Me too.

What happened out there?

I met someone and he was nice.

Just nice?

I think maybe I think about

him a little too much.

Well that could mean

something.

Not really. We're too far

apart.

You don't have to be.

It's not like I can pick up

the phone and call him.

He is in the middle of nowhere.

Go see him. I'll call and have

the plane ready.

Uncle Lyle... Go!

I'm not even sure he would

want to see me.

Well you won't know until you

do see him.

Thank-you.

Exucse me?

Oh, guten Tag!

Hello, I'm looking for Jeremy.

Ya. He's gone.

Gone?

He asked me to watch the

cabin.

Gone where?

To America, I think.

Why?

I don't know. He left this

morning.

Okay, thank-you.

Hey what happened?

He's not here.

What, are you serious?

Apparently he's on his way

back to the US.

To find you.

I don't know. I mean, I'd like

to think

so but he could be going

anywhere.

So, um, what are you going to

do?

Well I'm on my way back now

but I don't want to miss him.

Yeah, how soon can you get

back?

Not soon enough. Look, I

know that you're at work,

but is there anyway that you

could just

go to my place just in case he

shows up?

Yeah, I can totally do that.

Thank-you.

[ SECRETARY ON PHONE ] Mr.

Elliott?

Go ahead.

You have a visitor here, a

Jeremy Edmunds. He says he's

here about Isabelle.

Send him in.

Hello Mr. Elliott. I'm sorry

to barge in on you like this.

How do you know Isabelle.

She stayed at my home for a

little while. I'm sorry, I

don't know if she told you

about her trip to Switzerland,

You're the man she met.

Yeah... Do you know where I

could find her?

Catherine!

Hey. He isn't here. But

maybe... he could

have gotten here before I could

get here but then...

Why wouldn't he be back by

now.

Well maybe he was delayed, he

was on a commercial flight

right?

Probably.

Then he's on his way.

Maybe I'm not the reason he

was coming out here at all.

Well, what other reason would

there be?

I don't know. I can think of a

few.

Maybe he never forgave me for

the way I left, the things

that I said.

No, Isabelle, you're being too

hard on yourself.

You've never said that to me

before.

Well, it was never true until

today.

Listen, go get some rest some

rest you've got to be tired.

And besides, you've jumped a

million time zones.

Hi.

Hi.

You're here.

Yeah.

I mean, he said you were

coming, but...

Who?

Your delivery guy.

Dietrich? You spoke to him?

Yeah, um... I went to find

you.

Well I came here.

Wow, I'm really tired, I've

got to go. I've been

babysitting this apartment all

day

and there's no food in the

house because Isabelle can't

cook.

So, I'm just going to go get

some take-out probably, on my

way home.

Sorry... but you guys have

great night though.

Listen I'm sorry. I... I was

cruel and selfish.

I've always been cruel and

selfish. You are the first

person to make me want to be

something else, and...

No, I was being selfish. I was

asking you to leave everything

behind but I wasn't willing to

do the same.

Maybe it doesn't even matter

any more.

It does... because you deserve

somebody

with a future and for me to

have a chance at that,

I've got to be willing to let

go of the past.

So does that mean you want me

in your future?

Yeah! But, it's not going to

be easy.

But if God could forgive me I

should be able to forgive

myself.

Living in hiding really isn't

living at all.

Well neither is living without

the person that you love.

I'm so glad I found you.

Wait! Are you sure that you're

ready for me? I mean, I'm kind

of...

I've survived so far.

Yeah? Okay.
