Anna returns soon to her family, but keeps in touch with Elliot, visiting him bi-monthly and sending him letters every week. She keeps these meetings and letters a secret from her husband.

Three years go by. Anna tells Elliot that she loves him. Elliot asks Anna to meet in a motel on Route 10, halfway between their two towns. On July 31st, 1986, they meet. Here, on this night, is where they plan their future. Uncertainty is thick between them, but under the bright motel sign, Elliot and Anna decide to never leave each other’s side again.
