Summary and Analysis by Chapter

Chapter 8

Feeling badly about hurting Jamie, Landon approaches her the night of the play to apologize; he finds himself holding her hand. After the two head to their respective dressing rooms, Eric enters and asks what funny or mean stunt Landon plans to pull during the performance. When Landon answers that he plans only to say his lines and act the part as best he can, Eric responds, "I guess you're finally growing up, Landon."

Landon is most worried about his pivotal scene, in which Tom Thornton first sees the angel and utters, "You're beautiful." In rehearsals, the line hasn't been ringing true because Landon can't imagine anyone having such a reaction when looking at an angel that looks like Jamie. However, when Landon finally sees Jamie in that scene, she is wearing a flowing white dress and a touch of makeup, with her hair cascading to below her shoulders. Landon delivers an utterly believable, "You're beautiful."
