Previously, when Ben and Jamie were separated, they had both suffered deeply. In his desperation, Ben had even used the name Jack to get close to Winnie, a decision that nearly cost him his chance to be with Jamie.

Mrs. Lucas's voice was hoarse as she spoke, her guilt spilling out. "Even if we're moving forward, we can't completely forget the past. I've been a terrible person. Now you're both taking care of me, but I know how busy you are. You don't have to waste your time here with me. Focus on your own lives."
