>LOVE AND CORY'S

>definitely an experience, and she'll take a rain check.  While saying
>good-bye to Bobby, she touches his face, and he flashes back to the dream he

>about him saying he's losing his eyesight AGAIN, but he lies and says he
>doesn't know what he was saying.  Vicky goes to get Jake to leave, but she
>finds him snooping through Bobby's medical file.  She drags him away from

>I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW AWESOME THIS SCENE WAS....
>Jake takes Vicky home.  They sit outside on her front steps and talk about

>boring.  Jake wants to know what Vicky was going to tell him while they were

>also giddy, begins to walk away.  He stops on her lawn, turns and looks at
