Lara Jean finally locates the lock and reads the touching message attached to it. The message poignantly states, 'for the rest of my life,' prompting Lara Jean to reflect on her mother's love and legacy.

In respect of Lara Jean's choice, Peter decides to skip Dan and Trina's wedding to meet his estranged father. This meeting is significant for Peter, as he seeks to mend the fractured relationship with his father after years of silence.

After the wedding, Kitty orchestrates a secret meeting between Lara Jean and Peter beneath the wedding tent. This clandestine gathering reveals the depth of their feelings for each other, amidst the backdrop of familial celebrations.

Under the tent, Lara Jean discovers a heartfelt letter from Peter hidden in her yearbook. The letter recalls their first meeting in sixth grade and includes a proposal for a 'contract' to always love each other despite their distance.
