She thinks it is bad that they spend so much time together and they Allie has grown such an attachment and attraction to this 'poor boy' whom only works for the Mill.

Allie and Noah go out one night to an old 2 story victorian style house, that had been abandoned. Noah and Allie talk all night and he tells her that he is going to fix up that house one day, and he's going to live there. She intentively listens and mentions that she wants to be there with him forever, she says how she wants a white house with blue shutters... they talk and talk about all they like, and want, their plans, everything. But Noah lost track of the time and ends up that they done stayed out too late, and her parents call the authorities and once she is home again they forbid her to be with Noah. They forbid her to see him anymore, all the while Noah is on the front porch hearing every single word. He hears as they tell her she is going to be more then him, she can do better, and that he has nothing. Noah after hearing all of this goes toward his truck to leave, when Allie runs outside to him. She apologizes for their accusations, but Noah, in an upset state of mind, advises Allie that they probably are right and that when she goes back home to school he will never see her again. he tells her that she is going to do better and that they shoudnt drag out the hurt. But rather end the relationshio now, This angers Allie, upsets her even more then she was with her parents, she runs in the house heartbroken, and Noah drives away.

The next day Allies parents tell her that they are going back home immediately, they wernt going to stay the additional 3 weeks as planned. They had already began to pack up their belongings into the car. Allie desperately gets to the Mill to tell Noah and to apologize for the night before. But Noah isnt there at the time she arrives. He had went into town for a pickup. She tells his friend that she loves to Noah and to please tell him that. When Noah returned and heard the news he was beside himself. He didnt get the chance to apologize, or to say goodbye. Noah researched and he found the address to Allie. He desperately tried to get in touch with her, he wrote 1 letter a day for an entire 365 days. He never once got a response. Meanwhile it shows Allies depression over it. She was dreadfully lonly without Noah, and spent most nights crying herself to sleep over missing him.

and after no response from his letters to Allie, Noah proceeds forward with his original plan to purchase the old, worn down, house there in his hometown. He works day in & day out at the towns Mill, still living with his father and following in his footsteps. Eventually his father sells Noahs childhood home that he grew up in, in order to secure the payment needed to invest in Noah's dream house. They buy the house & invest all the money into it. Noah designs it exactly to Allie's request from years earlier... a white house with blue shutters. He restores the old piano, that was there, and that Allie played the night they seperated. He made a special room in the corner of the house, over looking the river, with all the paint supplies needed. Just like Allie told him before that she dreamth about.

Meanwhile, Allie went into the Active Army as a nurse and one day she came upon an injured soldier. Whom in his fit of pain asked Allie out. After his recovery, and Allie had forgotten, he showed up one day, asked her out, she accepted. He was of high class, born into wealth, and therefore was an immediate hit with Allie's parents. He soon after asked their permission for Allie's hand in marriage. They agreed & once asked Allie accepted. But at that exact moment that Allie accepted, the only picture that came to her mind, was Noah. She and her mother extend crucial planning into the wedding and while her wedding dress fitting she seen a picture, that made the paper. It was of Noah, standing in front of a beautifully remodeled, completed White Victorian house with blue shutters. Allie immediately fainted at the sight, and her mother instantly thought oh dear. 

The sight that Allie witnessed in the paper was enough to make her doubt her want to marry her fiancee. She told him that she had some things that she needed to clear up and that there was nothing at all to worry about. But said that she did need some time to herself. He agreed & she made the long drive back to Noah...
