Lily Alternate Ending

Lily could not keep her mind on her projects at home so she hurried down to the cabin. She had hoped she would find Marc there but deep down, she sort of knew he wasn’t. She could not help but hope anyway.
She made herself at home since he told her she should and fixed some lunch. While she ate, she opened a new log; her mind followed and absorbed every event closely, not one word escaped her notice.
It told of the preparations and then the incredible voyage Marc had taken. It was fascinating reading but then what she saw next, amazed her even more. There was a clear newspaper clipping that appeared as she scrolled into the next section. Her eyes opened wide as her own face appeared before her. Then she read the headline, noting the date
She was most embarrassed about the way she teased Marc when he changed her tire. If only she had known why he happened to be there. But he didn't seem to mind. And if this article was accurate, she should be infinitely grateful he came to help. She sat back and closed her eyes, reliving the events of that day.
Aunt Arey... her tire... meeting the man of her dreams... So many things made sense now. All the little hints he tried to hide... all the unfinished sentences... she understood finally why he could never tell her. “I never would have believed you, sadly. But you came into my life that day, and I never want to be without you again... no matter where you are from.” Lily had always referred to her journal as her best friend and now she realized just how true that really was. She smiled and her eyes misted as more implications sunk in. This book she poured her heart and soul into... saved her. Then a slow, sly grin crossed her lips. If Marc was reading her journal again... and he most likely was... why not send him a subtle message? She went home and picked up her pen. She thought for a moment then began to write. Marc, I miss you so much. Io ti amo. I love you more than I ever dreamed I could love anyone. Please... please come home to me
