ABen wakes up in the hospital. Cynthia (Kristin Minter) explains how the airbag in his new car knocked him unconscious. Ben relates to her his dream about Wendy and the girls and says that he's going to make some changes in his life and that he knows Cynthia well enough to know that she won't go along with him, so the wedding is off. When he realizes that it's still Thursday and that Wendy will be at the church, he signs himself out of the hospital. He trades his expensive watch for the desk clerk's VW and heads over to the church. Unfortunately, Wendy already left for the bus station, so Ben hurries there. They have just enough time to exchange phone numbers before Wendy's bus starts boarding, but Wendy promises to call him when she gets back to Chicago. As Wendy prepares to board the bus, Ben asks her not to go just yet. Ben apologizes for leaving her and turning his back on the plans they made together. With tears in her eyes, Wendy assures Ben that it's too late for them to start over and boards the bus. The bus leaves the station, and Ben walks away. Suddenly, the bus returns to the station, and Ben sees that the driver is Mike. When the bus pulls away again, Wendy is standing on the platform. They run into each others' arms. The final scene takes place eight years later. Ben is photographing Kimberly at her 6th birthday party, and Wendy is pregnant with Megan. They live in the white house next to the Little White Church.
