Author Delia Ephron knows a thing or two about romantic storylines . And lately, she's been living one.
Delia said,"Part of the amazingness of getting that first email was that he said that Nora had set us up. I mean, I just couldn't believe it. It was like she was reaching down to me."LaPook asked Rutter,"What was it about the Verizon article that made you reach out to Delia?""Oh, of course! Who forgets an Ephron girl?"
Ephron's results continued to be boring for eight years. But then, Roboz recalled,"In March of 2017, she comes in, she has a blood test, and she was almost getting ready to get up and go. And something flashed on the review of the blood smear. And I went to take a look, and all of a sudden there's acute leukemia."
But that 180 was, for Ephron and Rutter, a reason to take the next step. As Ephron recalled,"Peter and I were having breakfast on Sunday, and I was making French toast. And he suddenly stands up and says, 'Will you marry me?' I mean, in the sweetest … it was so sweet. And I said, 'Yes.' She said love is what kept her going. But the transplant took its toll, and she was having trouble breathing. So, she told Dr. Roboz:"I just want out. I can't take it anymore."
