Shooting

After Gale realizes that Dawn never existed, he had a period of idleness where both his friendships and his writing floundered. After finding out that Louise had died in a car accident on her way to the airport with the newborn child she had while Gale was gone, he is distraught by the loss of his fiancee and daughter. He drinks heavily, and accidentally falls into the water at Alexandra Basin in the Old Port of Montreal, the very place where he last saw the beautiful stranger seven years before when the ship docked back at the pier. Miraculously, the real version of Dawn, Sarah Carice Beaulieu, happened to be there when he well into the water, and saved his life.
