Alex却最终爽约。 Kate终于意识到自己早已远离现实,她一直在守候那触摸不到的真情。她决定离开,告诉Alex不要再给她写信,最后留下那句深情割舍不断的“请让我放开你的手”……
Kate:You weren't there. You didn't come.
Alex:I don't understand. Something must have happened. I'm sorry. I've got two years, Kate. We can try again.
Kate:No, Alex, it's too Iate. It already happened. It didn't work.
Alex:Don't give up on me, Kate. What about Persuasion? You told me. They wait. They meet again, they have another chance.
Kate:Life is not a book, Alex. And it can be over in a second. I was having lunch with my mother at Daley Plaza...and a man was killed right in front of me. He died in my arms. And I thought "It can't end just like that on Valentine's Day." I thought about all the people who love him, waiting at home...who will never see him again. And then I thought "What if there is no one?" What if you live your whole life and no one is waiting? So I drove to the lake house looking for any kind of answer. And I found you. And I let myself get lost. Lost in this beautiful fantasy where time stood still. But it's not real, Alex. I have to learn to live the life that I have got. Please don't write anymore. Don't try to find me. Let me let you go.
