The last entry in the journal is dated just a week before James's death:
*"My dearest Sophie,
I don't know how much time I have left, but I want you to know this—you've made my life worth living. Every moment with you has been a gift. I'll always be with you, watching over you, loving you. Take care of Sam and Julie for me. And when it's your time, I'll be waiting for you. Forever and always, James."*
Sam breaks down, clutching the journal to his chest. Julie wraps her arms around him, crying silently.
