The scene came to a close, and the cast members gathered to review the footage. After shooting several takes, they finally captured one that pleased both the actors and the director, marking the end of filming at the restaurant.
Despite the progress, the day was still young. With the upcoming scene of Jacob and Anna saying goodbye to her parents set for a nighttime backdrop, and plenty of daylight remaining, the production team decided to move ahead. They filmed a more intimate scene between Jacob and Anna in bed, efficiently using their time.
***
In a cozy apartment, the next scene unfolded with the film crew, including Drake, Jennifer, Charlie, and other key members, attentively watching. The scene portrayed a tender moment between Jacob and Anna in her small apartment. Jacob was about to give Anna a heartfelt surprise, a memory to cherish before her departure to the UK.
"Close your eyes," Jacob instructed Anna, who playfully questioned, "Why?"
"Just trust me," Jacob gently insisted. With a soft chuckle, Anna obliged, closing her eyes.
Jacob covered her eyes with his hand and whispered, "Count to 60."
Giggling, Anna began, "Fifty-eight Mississippi, fifty-seven Mississippi, fifty-six Mississippi..."
As she counted, Jacob retrieved his guitar, positioning himself on a chair in front of her. When Anna reached the end of her count and opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of Jacob, guitar in hand, ready to surprise her.
"Where's my surprise?" Anna asked, a hint of laughter in her voice.
Jacob simply smiled and began to strum the guitar, the melody unfolding into "Say You Won't Let Go," a song that held special meaning for Lucas, and he chose the song because it fits the situation the couple was about to go through.
As Anna prepared for her journey to the UK, this moment underscored the beginning of their long-distance relationship, the song leaving a lasting memory in her heart.
Anna's reaction was one of sheer astonishment, her eyes widening as she recognized the melody. It was the song Jacob had been crafting just for her.
Lucas, in the role of Jacob, began to sing, his voice beautifully blending with the guitar's melody.
"I met you in the dark, you lit me up,
You made me feel as though I was enough,"
His voice carried the lyrics with an emotion that resonated deeply, reflecting moments they had shared:
"We danced the night away, we drank too much,
I held your hair back when,
You were throwing up, 🎵🎶"
Anna's gaze softened, fixated on Jacob. Memories flooded back of the time they spent sipping whiskey together, the previous day's filming that captured them dancing, and those intimate snapshots of moments shared over drinks.
"Then you smiled over your shoulder.
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober. I pulled you closer to my chest. And you asked me to stay over. I said, "I already told ya. I think that you should get some rest", 🎵🎶"
Drake and the other cast members, including Charlie, were visibly impressed. They speculated that once the film was complete, the standout moments would likely include the scenes of Jacob performing Lucas's original song.
"I knew I loved you then. But you'd never know.
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go. I know I needed you.
But I never showed. But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old. Just say you won't let go.
Just say you won't let go, 🎵🎶"
Jennifer watched Lucas intently, her gaze filled with a hint of longing. She recalled their time spent together in a café, where she had helped him delve deeper into his role. Since then, their interactions had dwindled, leaving Jennifer with an unspoken yearning. Unbeknownst to her, her eyes betrayed her feelings, a longing clear for anyone to see. However, in that moment, everyone's attention was captivated by Lucas's performance, the lyrics of his song filling the room and holding them spellbound.
"I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed. I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head.
And I'll take the kids to school. Wave them goodbye. And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night, 🎵🎶"
The lyrics poignantly express Jacob's dreams of a future together with Anna, surrounded by their children.
Felicity, in her portrayal of Anna, couldn't hide a bittersweet smile. Deep down, she understood that despite their deep connection, Jacob and Anna were not destined to end up together.
"When you looked over your shoulder. For a minute, I forget that I'm older. I wanna dance with you right now. Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever. And I swear that everyday you'll get better. You make me feel this way somehow, 🎵🎶"
Jacob's gaze met Anna's with an intensity that was both profound and passionate, their eyes locked in a moment of deep connection.
"I'm so in love with you. And I hope you know. Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold. We've come so far, my dear. Look how we've grown.
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old.
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go, 🎵🎶"
As Jacob continued to sing, pouring emotion into every note, Felicity Jones, embodying Anna, was caught up in the moment. A single tear, born from the song's raw emotional power, escaped her control, tracing a path down her right cheek.
Under Drake's direction, the camera operators skillfully captured this poignant moment, zooming in to frame the raw emotion on Anna's face.
"I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most, 🎵🎶" Jacob's eyes were on Anna's tears, he momentarily stopped playing the guitar and wiped the tears that gradually rolled down Anna's cheeks.
"I'm gonna love you 'til, My lungs give out,
I promise 'til death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows, That it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old, Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go, 🎵🎶" And as Jacob caught sight of Anna's smile, he couldn't resist singing on, 'Just say you won't let go, oh, just say you won't let go.'"
Meanwhile, Jacob played on, his guitar strumming accompanying his tender gaze towards Anna, marked by a small, heartfelt smile.
