So, um, the-- someone told the|doctor that l was his fiancee.

Only, um-- Oh.|lts not true.

l was never engaged to Peter.

Why didnt you|say something?

Because l didnt know|how to tell you.

We never even met until|that day on the tracks.

And, um, its just when we|were in the hospital room,|everything happened so fast.

And l couldnt tell you|the truth.

And then l didnt wanna|tell you the truth because, um,

the truth was that|l fell in love with you.

You fell in love with me?

No. No-- Yes.|All of you.

l went from being all alone|to being...

a fiancee, a daughter,

a granddaughter,|a sister...

and a friend.

l might have saved your life|on the tracks that day.

But you know what?|You really saved mine.

You allowed me to be|a part of your family,

and l havent had that|in a really long time.

And l just didnt want|to let go of that.

So even though it was just for a little|while, l will love them always.

for my-- sort of my fiancee.

We were better off together.

Hold on, hold on.|Just hold on right there.

Hey, Luce, l just wanted|to say that, uh,

lm sorry things didnt|work out with that guy.

And, um, you know,|right now...

you should get in touch|with the child within, and, um,

explore your feminine side,|and, um,

because youll blow up|like my Aunt Roberta, you know.

And-- You deserve|better than that.

So--

He took me to Florence|for our honeymoon.
