while in Chechnya. Jake came into the room as Gillian was reading the letter.

all over again, he would never leave her. Jake then asked Gillian if they could
have a fresh start. Gillian tried to explain to Jake that she thought they were
over when he left Pine Valley. Jake interrupted Gillian before she could tell

and that he wanted be the same for her. A torn Gillian broke down after Jake
