The second time that Amanda Massey got engaged reminded her of the first time for a variety of reasons. First of all, the proposal was a complete and total shock to her, and she was again speechless when he asked. Second, they dined at a restaurant that held a special meaning to both of them. Third, she couldn’t wait to tell all her friends the good news. Unfortunately, those were not the only reasons that her second engagement was like her first. For one thing, Jackson Hamilton was present at both of the occasions, although Amanda had no idea he witnessed the second. More importantly, but also more tragically, Amanda would never get a chance to marry the second man who proposed to her either.

Terry lived in Orlando for six months before he asked Amanda to marry him. They were dating and getting steadily more serious for the entire time, but the subject of marriage was only mentioned in passing. Terry knew about her previous engagement, as well as the loss that followed it. He knew that her heart still belonged to Jackson, and in some way it always would, but he also thought there was enough of that heart to commit her life to him as well. Whether or not Amanda stopped to consider this idea, she also knew that the path they were on was headed in that direction. She talked with her friends about it a few times, but she was always afraid of jinxing anything. After what happened before, Amanda was more cautious than anyone around her really understood. When he did ask her, a small part of her said that she wasn’t ready, but she chalked it up to missing Jackson once more and pressed herself to move on anyway. It was what he would have wanted, she told herself, and that logic was echoed by all of her friends and co-workers when they found out. The fact that she felt awkward about being engaged again was obvious to everybody that talked to her, but they all did their best to make her feel better about it. After a few weeks, she began to plan her wedding with all the excitement that she swallowed when her first engagement ended.

During all the rush and anticipation, and despite his best efforts, Jackson did not get the opportunity to use his newfound ability and talk to Amanda. The fact that he happened to witness her engagement was just blind luck, although Jackson debated whether that luck could be considered good or bad. He tracked her down nearly every day, trying to get her alone so that he could test his theory about talking to the living with her. He spoke to a couple of people on the street, an idea that Davis tried vehemently (but unsuccessfully) to talk him out of. When he did, most of the people just turned around and looked behind them, shooting anyone around strange glances before hurrying away. His success excited him at first, but the fact that everyone dismissed whatever they heard so quickly dampened that elation.
