"My anniversary with Michael is August 17. And this year, I decided impulsively to surprise him. He was in Atlanta. So I open his computer to check when his last meeting will be, and this e-mail pops up... flagged urgent, and the subject is "tonight." It was about a meeting, all right. It was the Ritz-Carlton, room 1216, at midnight, signed And over the months that followed, he would address her as Lynn and she would sign back... 'Linny.' "
"What'd you do?"
"Nothing. I just read the e-mails over and over, like a novel. He would tell her things from the heart. Things... Worries... Funny things. Things that you tell someone that you love".
"And your marriage?"
"It was seemingly unchanged. Except that, every look, every joke... every time we made love...became lies."

Nick. It's you again. Listen, I want to give you one more piece of advice. You're gonna be playing one night... Grand Central... thinking of every reason in the world to not go see the girl that broke your heart. Then you're gonna meet somebody. And now at first, she's gonna seem... icy. You're gonna know right away she's trouble. She's gonna take all your money. You're probably gonna get punched in the face. But, uh... stick with her. You're gonna need her a lot more than she needs you. And at the end of the night,
you're gonna want to say some things, but don't. Don't ruin it. It's nothing she doesn't already know. Just give her a kiss. Wish her good luck. And, uh... thank her. Thank her for showing you that you can love more than one person in this life.

Explanation: 

Nick's message to himself from the past.

"I'm not gonna let you run."
"Why you?"
"Because I think I know who you are."
"And who's that?"
"You're the girl who recognized true love and jumped for it."
"I can still be that girl. But maybe I picked the wrong guy. Nobody said I was smart."
"Yeah, well, five minutes ago, you said you loved him."
"Five minutes ago, you said I loved him. I haven't said it for a half hour."
