"Close your eyes," Jacob instructed Anna, who playfully questioned, "Why?"
"Just trust ," 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 lody unfolding into "Say You Won't Let Go," a song that held special aning for Lucas, and he chose the song because it fits the situation the couple was about to go through.

Anna's reaction was one of sheer astonishnt, her eyes widening as she recognized the lody. 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 lody.
"I t you in the dark, you lit up,
You made feel as though I was enough,"
His voice carried the lyrics with an emotion that resonated deeply, reflecting monts 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. mories flooded back of the ti they spent sipping whiskey together, the previous day's filming that captured them dancing, and those intimate snapshots of monts 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 to stay over. I said, "I already told ya. I think that you should get so rest", 🎵🎶"
Drake and the other cast mbers, including Charlie, were visibly impressed. They speculated that once the film was complete, the standout monts 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 ti 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 mont, 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 so 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 feel this way sohow, 🎵🎶"
Jacob's gaze t Anna's with an intensity that was both profound and passionate, their eyes locked in a mont 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 co 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 mont. 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 cara operators skillfully captured this poignant mont, zooming in to fra the raw emotion on Anna's face.
"I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for when I needed you most, 🎵🎶" Jacob's eyes were on Anna's tears, he montarily 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 '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.'"
