By a lonely harbour wall

She watched the last star falling

As that prison ship sailed out against the sky

For she lived in hope and pray

For her love in Botany BayRiverdale

Winter 1993: Graduation was 8 months ago. FP Jones has become Serpent. Alice Smith is getting married to Hal Cooper in just two months. FP and Alice haven't spoken in almost a year, but it's been almost 4 months since Alice gave birth to his baby. She still can't and won't let herself tell him but late one night, after too many glasses of wine, she makes a mixtape for him: blank on one side just like old times. Alice leaves it in his mailbox with a short recorded message, hoping no one will ever find out. She nearly forgets about it or at least tries to until a week later when the tape shows up in her mailbox.

Now she cannot stop listening to his voice recorded on tape intro, repeating it back over and over again. Reverberating on her giant headphones, "You'll always be my girl."

Hi friend! It certainly looks like it! They were still broken up at the end of Season 3 but at NYCC yesterday they aired footage of them kissing and announced that they would be living together. One article even described them as “very much in love”
