Inside Pearson's house, Peyton and Pearson share a heartfelt and emotional reunion, rekindling their old feelings for each other.
I'm sorry I started to change after the accident
reaches out and holds Pearson's hand It's okay, Pearson. We all change after an accident.
no you don't understand I hurt you and then I disappeared I was in the hospital for a year I lost everything
gazes into Pearson's eyes, voice filled with empathy Pearson, I understand more than you realize.
I was in the hospital recovering from brain surgery and other injuries I lost my memory and my girlfriend said I was a totally different person after my surgeries
squeezes Pearson's hand gently Oh, Pearson... I-I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that... teary-eyed
I don't remember much of our past relationship I only remember meeting you in Italy when I was sent there to recover
bites her lip, holding back tears Well, umm, let me tell you... let me tell you about us... how we met... our first date...
giggles nervously Okay, um, so it all started during my internship in Italy...
I remember you had a internship in Italy when I first met you
stutters Y-yeah, that's right... I was s-so young and naive back then... laughs softly
smiling Oh, um, I was just 22 years old... fresh out of college... pauses
