”’Peyton Sawyer’ will become ‘Peyton Scott.’ Lucas wrote this in the eighth grade. I remember him talking about her constantly and not just in the eighth grade. In the ninth, the tenth and the eleventh grade. And finally, in our junior year, Lucas gathered up his courage and talked to Peyton for the first time, right here at this lake, and she was a bitch. He said, ‘Haley, I talked to her’ and when I asked him if the fantasy was finally over, if he could finally admit that Peyton Sawyer was human after all and he said, ‘No, Peyton Sawyer is not human, she’s an angel. And she’s my angel.’ I believe in true love, I believe in love at first sight, I believe love conquers all. That doesn’t mean there’s not gonna be hard days or difficult things to deal with, because there will be. But finding that person who does it for you and knowing that that person loves you back it just makes everything so much easier. ‘Peyton Sawyer will become Peyton Scott.’ That was the dream, and here we are, 10 years later and we will all get to witness a dream come true”
