In an attempt to prolong their time together Mattie and Ethan find an old sled by the side of the road and they hop on and sled down a steep tricky hill, swerving to avoid the trees. When they walk up the hill together Ethan notes that this will be their last time walking together. Once at the top of the hill Ethan returns the sled to its rightful place. Mattie sneaks up behind him and surprises him with several goodbye kisses. They two are overcome with their greif at leaving each other, and they don't know what to do. Finally Mattie asks Ethan to take them down the hill again on the sled, only this time intentionally crash into a tree. She says if their both dead they can finally be together. Ethan is frightened by her crazy talk, but when he thinks back to his home and his wife and the life he has now, he becomes intrigued by Mattie offer.
