Killing Me Softly Page #3

for as long

as you both shall live?

I do.

And do you, Adam, promise

to love and cherish Alice...

for as long

as you both shall live?

I do.

May the Lord

bless this union...

and secure it from all harm.

How do you know the priest?

This is my family church.

You have a family church?

Wow, I have a mother

who doesn't talk to me...

and a dad I've never met.

It doesn't matter.

My life began

when we first saw each other.

Come on.

I need you to see something.

What?

No, no, no,

wait, wait, wait.

Now, I want you

to see this...

through my eyes

when I was six.

Look. Like this.

You know the story that

we're broken into two pieces?

And we spend our lives

searching for

our other half.

You're it.

OK, here we are.

We're getting dressed here?

Yep. Here.

No! No, no, no, no.

Don't do that.

I need to remember you

like this.

Come on. I don't want you

to freeze to death.

Come on.

This is the only

way station...

for hikers

in the whole area.

The church has kept supplies

up here for years.

You went hiking

on your wedding day?

That's his idea of romance.

I thought a honeymoon

was lying in bed...

with room service.

Oh, I'll give you

a honeymoon you won't forget.

I promise.

No, no, sit down.

Choose your rhythm and then

commit to following it.

Count if you have to.

I'm gonna make you strong!

I wanted him to be

proud of me...

so I followed the trail

for hours.

You made it.

What's that?

It's an anchor...

to catch a falling body.

Catch.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

Don't move.

I gave up all control.

I let him decide

when I could breathe...

and when I couldn't.

I loved it.

God, I love you!

We returned to London...

and Joanna Noble's

article came out.

I was happier

than I'd ever been.

Excuse me.

-There you go.

-Thanks.

Hello, Jake?

No, it's Sylvie speaking.

Hello, Alice.

Sylvie?

I must have dialed wrong.

I thought I was

calling Jake.

Oh, no, no, that's fine.

I just happened to be

over, actually.

Jake's going to be

back soon, I think.

Look, Alice, this is

gonna sound a bit weird...

but I was definitely

going to tell you...

but Jake and l

have actually been...

seeing each other.

You and Jake?

Well, it...

just sort of happened.

Did you move in?

Yeah. Yeah, I did,

uh, sort of.

Oh, Lord.

How cliche is this?

Old friend moves in...

to console jilted boyfriend...

and then these two find

themselves together.

You gonna be OK with this?

Yeah, I'm OK.

We're gonna be late!

Hurry up!

Yeah, I gotta go.

We'll talk

about it later, OK?

Here we go.

How you doing?!

Hey, Alice, Alice,

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

How you doing?

It's really nice to see you.

It's Alice Tallis.
