The evening is warm and nice, and the autumn sky filled with the Orion, the Dipper and the Pole star. The chirping of crickets and rustling of leaves fills the air. As the evening grows into night, coastal clouds slowly begin to form over the sky, turning silver with the reflection of the moon. The sun is seen to glow behind the oak tree as viewed from the top of the hill.
The author always creates a mood of serenity and peace whenever Allie and Noah are together, giving them the sense where they feel they are at their best when together.
The theme of this story is love. How despite being away from each other for more than 14 years, the two lovebirds still feel the same way they felt under the oak tree during their first date. Amidst obstructions from family, Allie still kept her love for Noah locked in her heart and treasures the moments they shared together. The love Noah has for Allie is blinding and leads him to not being able to find love or at least a woman who had the same characteristics or traits as her. He feels that she stands out from any other woman he has ever met, and wishes he could get another chance to have her again in his life. He feels heartbroken when he learns that she is engaged and about to be married, but still wishes to have her, but this time as a friend. Allie feels that she is making the wrong decision when she decides to go and see Noah for one last time before she gets married. She feels that she has an obligation to go and tell him what has been going on in her life for the past fourteen years. But the reality is she wants to see whether there could be by any chance an opportunity for the two to be together as they had wished earlier. His words whenever he speaks to her reassures her of her dreams and ambitions that changed way back and made her feel revived ten or so years younger. His compliments and inspirations towards her dreams are comforting and reassuring and shows that he is ready to offer her all the support she needs to make them come true. She finally overcomes her fears of disregarding her father’s wish and pursue her dreams and find her happiness. She gives in to the love from Noah when she realizes that Noah kept it within him all along, and did not have the thought of ever changing it, despite whatever happened. She learns that her mother had the same opportunity and was in the same shoes as she was, but chose to honor the family’s name and sacrifice her dreams and ambitions for the sake of the family. She chooses Noah’s love and his personality over Lon because he sees Noah understands her more than anyone else does.
