all over now. The past is the past

and if you do not want to talk

about it, well… that is your

decision!” It was at this

moment that he knew that he

was in love.

2 years later, Jack was preparing

for another date with Megan,

and had decided that he was

going to propose to her. He

took her to the coffee shop

where they first met

and he said, “Megan.

I know I have had a rocky past and I have lost

people that I still love and miss very much. But you have taught me that you can’t spend your entire life mourning. Every second I am with you I can’t help but smile, something that took me almost a year to do after the plane crash. You gave me my life back, you saved me, and without you I am blind to this world. The connection that we share is impossible to describe in any other way than this. Megan, I need you in my life because you are my life. You are my everything, and I don’t want to ever lose you. Jack then got down on one knee, his good knee, and proposed to Megan. She ended up making him wait another month before she agreed, but that summer they ended up getting married.

Jack and Megan had children who then had children of their own. This story was passed down throughout the generations of their children and then was given a title that could only describe the horrible events that led to Jack meeting his current wife. That title was Plane Crash on Cloud Nine.
