Without giving away too much to those who haven't read yourstory yet, give us a glimpse into your history.
First impressionsLucas: Finally. And Wow.Layla: No way he's noticing me.
Favorite memory so farLucas: Going back to the beach when everything was over.Layla:  Samefor me.
Best thing about finally being able to have a normalrelationshipLucas: Being able to hold her hand whenever and wherever Iwant.Layla: Having no doubts about our feelings for each other.
As you tried to discover the truth about yourreincarnation mystery, did the danger and uncertainty draw you closer or pullyou apart?
Lucas: I think in terms of our feelings for each other, it definitely broughtus closer. Nothing like knowing your girl's in danger to make you realize justhow important she is to you. But in terms of being able to actually focus onour relationship, it sort of pulled us apart, temporarily, simply because therewas so much going on we couldn't just be ourselves and enjoy our relationship.In the end, I think the ordeal made us stronger and more committed, becausewe've been through so much. As difficult as it was, I wouldn't change a thing,because it got us where we are today.
Layla: I think it did both. First of all, it brought ustogether. It forced us – well, me anyway – to acknowledge what we were feeling. However,it did give me reason to doubt the legitimacy of what we were experiencing inthe present. It was probably my own insecurities, but I kept wondering ifsomehow we were being manipulated by what happened in the past, and that oneday, when it was all over, we'd realize that we didn't really love each other.  Fortunately, that didn't happen.  Once the mystery was solved, ourfeelings were even stronger because of what we'd been through. Like Luke, Iwouldn't change anything, because here we are!
Layla, what's the best thing about Lucas?  His genuineness. I don't ever wonder ifhe's being honest or real. And now that the reincarnation stuff is behind us, Ifeel this tremendous confidence in our relationship. I don't have to try to beanyone else. He accepts me just the way I am, and even better, I don't doubt itever.
Lucas, what's the best thing about Layla? Her unassumingbeauty. And by beauty I'm not just talking about what she looks like on theoutside, although, let's face it, she's gorgeous. But what I mean is thatthere's a sweetness to her, a humble, down-to-earth glow that comes from deepwithin her. It illuminates everything she does, and it's what makes her themost beautiful girl in the world.
