Catherine Holt:
Caleb, what's happened to you?

Caleb Holt:
Dad asked me if there was anything in me that wanted to save our marriage. And then he gave me something. I could let you read it...

[Catherine pulls out the Love Dare journal]

Catherine Holt:
Was it this?

Caleb Holt:
How long have you known?

Catherine Holt:
I found it yesterday. So what day are you on?

Caleb Holt:
43.

Catherine Holt:
There's only 40.

Caleb Holt:
Well, who says I have to stop?

Catherine Holt:
Caleb, I don't know how to process this. This is not normal for you.

Caleb Holt:
Welcome to the new normal.

Catherine Holt:
You didn't want to do this at first, did you?

Caleb Holt:
No. But halfway through, I realized that I did not understand what love was. And once I understood that, I wanted to do it.

Catherine Holt:
Caleb, I want to believe that this is real. But I am not ready to say that I trust you again.

Caleb Holt:
I understand that. But whether you ever reach that point or not, I need you to understand something. I am sorry. I have been so selfish. For the past seven years, I have trampled on you with my words and with my actions. I have loved other things when I should have loved you. And the last few weeks, God has given me a love for you that I have never had before. And I've asked Him to forgive me. And I'm hoping, and I'm praying, that somehow you would be able to forgive me too. Catherine, I do not want to live the rest of my life without you.

Catherine Holt:
Caleb, I'm supposed to give those divorce papers to my lawyer next week. I just, um...I just need some time to think.

Caleb Holt:
You can have all the time you need.
