For the rest of our lives.

Catherine was only Being romantic.

A curtain must have Blown in the wind.

It caught aflame.

When I pulled up in Front of the house,

It was already on fire.

[screaming]

Catherine!

No!

My god!

God, no!

[screaming]

I lost Everything that night.

The pain of my burns Was nothing

Compared to the pain Of losing catherine.

When I got Out of the hospital,

People were frightened By the way that I looked.

Even my friends...

Didn't know what to say

Or how to be around me.

And so I, I live here.

Alone.

I forced myself To stop thinking.

Stop feeling.

Oh, and then I saw you.

You look So much like catherine.

You made me remember How it was to feel love.

-billy: he's gotta be Around here somewhere.

This is The first time in years

I felt As if I could love again.

-aiden...

-I, I know you Can't love me, c.J.,

But at least I know I can feel again.

I thought that had Died in the fire, too.

-aiden.

Let me see your face.

-no.

No, I can't.

-please.

-don't pity me.

-I could never Pity you, aiden.

I could only envy you.

Being so kind, and so gentle.

The way People have treated you,

They're the ones that I pity.

If they could live with What you've had to live with

For just one day,

Wear this on their own face,

They might finally be able To be kind to each other.

No, I'm thinking of how good,

And how gentle,

And how beautiful this man is.
