Goodreads asked R.W. Thompson:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

R.W. Thompson Ally and Noah from The Notebook! Ally is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and Noah reads to her from her notebook journal. Ally remembers that they are the couple from the story and becomes lucid for a few minutes. Just hearing their love story is enough to bring Ally back to him again if only for a short while.
The interchange between them reminds us that true love gets stronger with time. Money, looks, and other superficial things don’t matter in the end, because having each other is enough. We should all be so lucky as to find someone to grow old with who will love us until the end. Perhaps it is because at my age I have rediscovered how much I love my wife and we are having the greatest love affair ever!
