The school Christmas play was about to begin. Everyone was gathering in their seats waiting for the curtains to part. Landon did not get to see Jamie before the play begun. She was already in her dressing room before he even got there. When the play started and Landon got to see Jamie, his jaw dropped because of how stunning she looked. Normally she would just wear an old fashioned dress with a button up sweater over it. However, tonight, her hair was down and curled and her dress as magnificent and hugged her body. The play was a success.
The next day after school, Landon walked Jamie home. They agreed to go to the orphanage together. Jamie always volunteered there. A while ago she put jars around the city hoping that people would drop spare change into it. With this money, she would by all of the children something wonderful. Jamie wanted to do something extra special for the children this year. She asked Landon if he would go pick up the money all around town and count the change for her since she does not have a car. He agreed to do so.
They arrived at the orphanage with all of the toys bought with the money they had collected. Everyone at the orphanage received a toy that Christmas. Jamie even got Landon a present. He was so surprised that she would waste her time on him. Later that night though Landon realized he was in love with Jamie.
After Landon drove her home for the orphanage, he asked her if she would enjoy Christmas dinner over at his house. Like always, she was polite in accepting his invitation. The next day, Jamie went over to Landon's house and they talked for a while about everything on mind like they always did. They mention Jamie's father again and about how he worries about her too much, but also about how he worries about Landon. Hegbert does not want them too be together for some reason. And the secret is unknown to why.
Reflection
I have always wanted to go to an orphanage and help out. I do not like seeing little children neglected and abandoned by their own flesh and blood. I believe that you should never do that to anybody. Anyway, this part of the book is similar to the movie because they do have dinner together. However, there is nothing at all in the movie about an orphanage when in the book, it is mentioned many times.
