May viewers were disappointed even saddened when Winnie and Kevin did not continue the intimate friendship that they had developed at the end of the series. Many thought of course that they would get married, have kids, etc. What we saw was the couple open up to each other about their relationship in that scene in the barn. Winnie was ambiguous, first it was "no" to together forever, then moments later she states tearfully "I don't want it to end". Kevin tells Winnie he thought they would always be together. The narration at the end of that intimate scene when they promise each other that they will always be together probably made many viewers cheer, "yea it's on (the relationship) again". Only to have those feelings erased when at the end of the parade scene when older Kevin says " and next summer Winnie goes to Paris to study art history" he goes on to say they remembered their promise, wrote to each other weekly for 8 years and he meets her when she returns home with his wife and first son. We see the end of their intimate relationship, but what we don't recognize is that they continued a life long friendship with someone who they shared a lot; childhood friendship, boyfriend/girlfriend, and first lovers. Seeing a lifelong friendship like that is something quite heart warming.
We also must remember that they had their senior year yet to come (next summer Winnie went to Paris...). Over that year what we did not see was their relationship evolve to where they came to the realization that yes they cared for each other deeply though things were going to look a little different in the future. They took their relationship as far as it could go, yet sometimes the winds of fate take different sails in different directions. They remained lifelong friends, not so sad after all.
Does anyone here remember the episode where the kids were flying a model airplane?
