00:00Don't let your body decide, if this is good enough for ya
00:03Already foldin' it for ya, already foldin' it for ya
00:10Say lies that I was done with love, not holdin' for anyone
00:16Cause I, I spent my twenties on some guys who just weren't the ones
00:22Somehow with you I forgot all my rules
00:26You made me feel safe, with fabric soft on the sheets
00:32When we laid in the bed where we made love in this house so hard
00:37Can you pick up your clothes?
00:40Cause I have been folded, meet me at the door
00:46My heart wide open, though it's gettin' cold out
00:54It's not frozen, so baby just come home
01:00You know I'm folded, I hope for your love
01:07Cause I have been folded, meet me at my door
01:14While it's still open, I know it's gettin' cold out
01:22But till it's not frozen, so baby just come home
01:29You know I'm folded, meet me at my door
01:34I'll let your body decide, if this is good enough for ya
01:38Already foldin' it for ya, already foldin' it for ya
01:42I'll let your body decide, if this is good enough for ya
01:54Meet me at the door
01:56I'll let your body decide, if this is good enough for ya
01:59Already foldin' it for ya, already foldin' it for ya
02:22Everyone in the military compound knew the only time top sniper Ethan Wilson's hands ever shook
02:28was when he slipped a ring onto Claire Harris's finger.
02:31Ten years went by, and he spoiled her so much that she became the most headstrong girl around.
02:36But no one knew this man who loved her like his own life had thrown her into hell three times.
02:41The first betrayal happened on a stormy night.
02:43He was on a mission, got drugged, and ended up spending the night tangled with another woman, Lydia Carter.
02:49Claire was on her way to file for divorce when Ethan stopped her midway.
02:52He pulled the safety off, pressed the gun under his chin, and said,
02:56Claire, I can't live without you.
02:58She couldn't stand watching him die, so she let it go.
03:01The second time, she caught him buying baby formula with Lydia.
03:04Lydia's father, Richard Carter, is an international arms dealer.
03:08He's the one who killed her dad.
03:09And now she's the only one who can bring him back to the country.
03:12When the mission's done, I'll send her away myself.
03:15And Claire believed him.
03:16The third time, he made a call at the base police office and took away the heart Claire's mother had
03:21been waiting six months for.
03:22She stormed in and slapped him hard in front of everyone.
03:26Ethan didn't get mad.
03:27He just stared at her, his eyes tangled with emotions, and started to explain.
03:32Lydia got shot right in the heart to save me.
03:34She's done a huge service for me, for the country.
03:37She's innocent.
03:38I can't just stand by and do nothing.
03:40But I promise, once she has the baby, they'll disappear.
03:44We'll go back to how things were.
03:45Claire looked up at him, feeling like the man in front of her was totally unfamiliar.
03:50Ethan, I watched my dad being ripped open, his heart torn out, while I hid in a closet.
03:55Wasn't I innocent?
03:56How do we go back to the past?
03:58How am I supposed to put up with you messing around with the daughter of the man who killed my
04:02dad?
04:02Claire thought.
04:03People around her grabbed her Claire.
04:05We get how you feel, but calm down a bit, okay?
04:08It's not easy for Ethan either.
04:10Ethan swallowed, about to say something, but his phone beat him to it.
04:13It was Eric Collins who stayed at the hospital.
04:15Shouted urgently.
04:17Ethan!
04:18Your son's in danger.
04:19Umbilical cord prolapse.
04:20He needs RH negative blood.
04:23Ethan's pupils shrank.
04:24He shoved Claire aside and bolted out the door.
04:27Claire didn't get out of the way and smacked her head hard against the corner of the honor wall,
04:31feeling dizzy and dazed.
04:32In a daze, she heard Ethan shout urgently,
04:35I'm on my way.
04:36Ethan didn't get mad.
04:37He just stared at her.
04:38His eyes tangled with emotions and started to explain.
04:41Lydia got shot right in the heart to save me.
04:44She's done a huge service for me, for the country.
04:47She's innocent.
04:48I can't just stand by and do nothing.
04:50But I promise, once she has the baby, they'll disappear.
04:54We'll go back to how things were.
04:56Claire looked up at him, feeling like the man in front of her was totally unfamiliar.
05:00Ethan, I watched my dad being ripped open, his heart torn out, while I hid in a closet.
05:05Wasn't I innocent?
05:06How do we go back to the past?
05:08How am I supposed to put up with you messing around with the daughter of the man who killed
05:12my dad?
05:12Claire thought.
05:13People around her grabbed her Claire.
05:15We get how you feel, but calm down a bit, okay?
05:18It's not easy for Ethan either.
05:19Ethan swallowed, about to say something, but his phone beat him to it.
05:23It was Eric Collins who stayed at the hospital, shouted urgently,
05:27Ethan!
05:28Your son's in danger!
05:29Umbilical cord prolapse!
05:30He needs RH negative blood!
05:32Ethan's pupils shrank.
05:34He shoved Claire aside and bolted out the door.
05:36Claire didn't get out of the way and smacked her head hard against the corner of the honor
05:40wall, feeling dizzy and dazed.
05:42In a daze, she heard Ethan shout urgently,
05:45I'm on my way!
05:46By the time someone helped her up, Ethan was already gone.
05:49The others kept urging her,
05:50Claire, Lydia saved him, you gotta understand.
05:53She didn't say a word, just took the tissue and slowly wiped the blood from her forehead.
05:58A life-saving debt, plus that premature baby?
06:00What can top that?
06:02Ethan, you'll never pay her back, and we'll never go back.
06:05Out front of the base police office, Chief Scott had been waiting for a while.
06:09His bodyguard stepped up and handed him two files.
06:12One was a mission, the other was her mother's medical visa.
06:15He spoke with a hint of apology.
06:17I know everything.
06:18Don't worry, I've got your mom taken care of.
06:21As for the mission, it's up to you.
06:23If you want to take it, go ahead.
06:26If not, just go with your mom to Scandria and take a proper break.
06:31Claire took the papers and looked up.
06:33Snow was falling again in Silvercrest.
06:35The snow stayed white, but people had changed forever.
06:39Three days later, Claire came to the hospital alone, holding the drafted divorce papers.
06:43The cop on duty saw her and quickly looked away, awkwardly.
06:47The door was half open.
06:48Claire looked inside and saw Ethan sitting by Lydia's bed, gently blowing on a spoonful of soup.
06:53The doctor said, you can only have some liquid food.
06:56His voice was gentle, just like the way he used to coax her into taking medicine back then.
07:00He didn't leave until Lydia finished, and he'd clean the dishes.
07:04Claire stepped back, avoiding him.
07:05Her heart ached uncontrollably.
07:08When he finally disappeared down the hallway, a police officer stopped her at the ward entrance.
07:12Miss Harris, you can't go in.
07:14Claire dialed Matthew's number, and his voice broke into a furious yell through the phone.
07:18Let her in.
07:20And if Ethan dares to complain, tell him to come to my office and face the consequences.
07:27She was finally allowed in.
07:28The moment Lydia saw her, Lydia's eyes instantly reddened and said,
07:32About the heart, I'm really sorry.
07:34I had no idea it was your mother who needed it.
07:37Ethan, Captain Wilson, only took that heart because he was afraid something might happen to me.
07:42That he could not explain it to the higher-ups.
07:44He told me himself I was just his mission.
07:46You're the only woman he'll ever love.
07:48I wouldn't, and I'd never dare to try to take him from you.
07:51Tears streamed down her face, making her look pitiful.
07:54The cop beside her hesitated, sympathy flickering across his face.
07:58Miss Harris, she's innocent too.
08:00I just need to say a few things.
08:02Please wait for me by the door.
08:04Claire interrupted him.
08:05Seeing her stand firm, the cop finally stepped back to the door, but he didn't close it.
08:10How ridiculous.
08:11Her dad was a hero, her husband a special weapons and tactics officer.
08:15Yet both sides treated her like a threat.
08:17Like she was the criminal here.
08:18Stop crying.
08:19We're both women.
08:20I know exactly what you want.
08:22I don't understand what you mean.
08:24That day, Ethan wasn't wearing his bulletproof vest.
08:27So where's his vest?
08:28Don't tell me you have no idea.
08:30Do me a favor.
08:30Ethan would never agree to divorce me.
08:33You'll have to find a way to get him to sign it without realizing it.
08:36No, that's against military law.
08:38I haven't sued, but that doesn't mean I won't.
08:41Thank you, Miss Harris, for making this possible.
08:44Making this possible?
08:45On top of that, am I supposed to lose it?
08:48Tear into Lydia, ball at Ethan, drag the entire Silvercrest unit into a scandal, and get their collective commendation revoked?
08:55Claire wasn't that selfish.
08:57But she couldn't forgive either.
08:58All she could do was rip Ethan out of her heart with her own hands.
09:01None need to thank me, and we won't be seeing each other again.
09:05Her father had died with honor, unyielding even in death.
09:08And she, no matter how broken or pitiful, would never give Lydia the satisfaction of watching her fall.
09:13Back at the military compound, Claire packed every gift Ethan had ever given her into a shipping box.
09:19When she was eight, Ethan pressed a glass jar full of blossom syrup into her arms and said,
09:24Here, some blossom syrup. It's sweet.
09:27When Claire was 18, Ethan wrapped his arm around her waist and dropped a bullet into her palm.
09:32Here, my little love token.
09:34At 22, he couldn't wait to file their marriage papers.
09:37He went down on one knee, ready to slip a ring on her finger.
09:41His hands that could steady a sniper rifle couldn't even steady a tiny wedding ring.
09:45Took him several minutes to finally put it on.
09:48He swallowed hard and smirked proudly.
09:50If you think you can just walk away from this military marriage, think again.
09:54I won't make it easy for you.
09:56In the end, the final gift he gave Claire was a faded, yellowed napkin.
09:59On it, he wrote,
10:00When I get out of the military, I'll take you to see the northern lights.
10:04Ethan.
10:05Claire's eyes stung.
10:06If Lydia hadn't appeared, maybe she could have waited for those northern lights.
10:10But there was no maybe in life.
10:12After packing everything, Claire scheduled a timed delivery to the base police office, stressing.
10:17The next morning, she was woken up by noise outside the door.
10:21Boxes from the moving company were stacked in the living room.
10:24Ethan was busy fitting a guardrail onto the crib.
10:26This is a child safety lock.
10:28The sunset lit up the side of his face, and his usually cold eyes softened with a hint of warmth.
10:33I can just stay at my old place.
10:35It's not safe there.
10:36I can only relax if you stay here.
10:38Ethan's tone left no room for argument.
10:41Claire leaned against the doorframe, watching quietly for a while.
10:44Neither of them noticed her until Lydia picked up a photo from the table.
10:48Ethan, she said coldly,
10:50Do you remember where this is?
10:51You just let anyone in here now?
10:53Only then did Ethan realize she was home.
10:55This is the safest place.
10:57Once things settle down, I'll send them away.
10:59Do as you like.
11:00Ms. Harris, I know I've been a bother.
11:02Please accept this small token of my appreciation.
11:05Claire opened it, and inside was the already signed divorce agreement.
11:09Ethan's signature at the end was sharp and bold,
11:12just like the name he had once carved into that bullet years ago.
11:15Everyone in the military compound knew the only time top sniper Ethan Wilson's
11:19hands ever shook was when he slipped a ring onto Claire Harris's finger.
11:23Ten years went by, and he spoiled her so much that she became the most headstrong girl around.

19:57Claire opened it, and inside was the already signed divorce agreement.
20:01Ethan's signature at the end was sharp and bold, just like the name he had once carved into that bullet
20:06years ago.
20:07Everyone in the military compound knew the only time top sniper Ethan Wilson's hands ever shook was when he slipped
20:13a ring onto Claire Harris' finger.
20:1510 years went by, and he spoiled her so much that she became the most headstrong girl around.
20:20But no one knew this man who loved her like his own life had thrown her into hell three times.
20:25The first betrayal happened on a stormy night.
20:28He was on a mission, got drugged, and ended up spending the night tangled with another woman, Lydia Carter.
20:33Claire was on her way to file for divorce when Ethan stopped her midway.
20:36He pulled the safety off, pressed the gun under his chin, and said,
20:40Claire, I can't live without you.
20:42She couldn't stand watching him die, so she let it go.
20:45The second time, she caught him buying baby formula with Lydia.
20:48Lydia's father, Richard Carter, is an international arms dealer.
20:52He's the one who killed her dad.
20:53And now she's the only one who can bring him back to the country.
20:56When the mission's done, I'll send her away myself.
20:59And Claire believed him.
21:00The third time, he made a call at the base police office and took away the heart Claire's mother had
21:05been waiting six months for.
21:07She stormed in and slapped him hard in front of everyone.
21:10Ethan didn't get mad.
21:11He just stared at her, his eyes tangled with emotions, and started to explain.
21:16Lydia got shot right in the heart to save me.
21:18She's done a huge service for me, for the country.
21:21She's innocent.
21:22I can't just stand by and do nothing.
21:24But I promise, once she has the baby, they'll disappear.
21:28We'll go back to how things were.
21:30Claire looked up at him, feeling like the man in front of her was totally unfamiliar.
21:34Ethan, I watched my dad being ripped open, his heart torn out, while I hid in a closet.
21:39Wasn't I innocent?
21:41How do we go back to the past?
21:42How am I supposed to put up with you messing around with the daughter of the man who killed my
21:46dad?
21:47Claire thought.
21:48People around her grabbed her Claire.
21:49We get how you feel, but calm down a bit, okay?
21:52It's not easy for Ethan either.
21:54Ethan swallowed, about to say something, but his phone beat him to it.
21:57It was Eric Collins who stayed at the hospital, shouted urgently,
22:01Ethan, your son's in danger, umbilical cord prolapse.
22:05He needs RH negative blood.
22:07Ethan's pupils shrank.
22:08He shoved Claire aside and bolted out the door.
22:11Claire didn't get out of the way and smacked her head hard against the corner of the honor wall,
22:15feeling dizzy and dazed.
22:16In a daze, she heard Ethan shout urgently,
22:19I'm on my way.
22:20Ethan didn't get mad.
22:21He just stared at her.
22:22His eyes tangled with emotions and started to explain.
22:25Lydia got shot right in the heart to save me.
22:28She's done a huge service for me, for the country.
22:31She's innocent.
22:32I can't just stand by and do nothing, but I promise,
22:35once she has the baby, they'll disappear.
22:38We'll go back to how things were.
22:40Claire looked up at him,
22:41feeling like the man in front of her was totally unfamiliar.
22:44Ethan, I watched my dad being ripped open,
22:46his heart torn out, while I hid in a closet.
22:49Wasn't I innocent?
22:50How do we go back to the past?
22:52How am I supposed to put up with you messing around with the daughter of the man who killed my
22:56dad?
22:56Claire thought.
22:58People around her grabbed her Claire.
22:59We get how you feel, but calm down a bit, okay?
23:02It's not easy for Ethan either.
23:04Ethan swallowed, about to say something, but his phone beat him to it.
23:07It was Eric Collins who stayed at the hospital, shouted urgently,
23:11Ethan!
23:12Your son's in danger, umbilical cord prolapse!
23:15He needs RH negative blood!
23:17Ethan's pupils shrank.
23:18He shoved Claire aside and bolted out the door.
23:20Claire didn't get out of the way and smacked her head hard against the corner of the honor wall,
23:25feeling dizzy and dazed.
23:26In a daze, she heard Ethan shout urgently,
23:29I'm on my way!
23:30By the time someone helped her up, Ethan was already gone.
23:33The others kept urging her,
23:35Claire, Lydia saved him, you gotta understand.
23:37She didn't say a word, just took the tissue and slowly wiped the blood from her forehead.
23:42A life-saving debt, plus that premature baby?
23:45What can top that?
23:46Ethan, you'll never pay her back, and we'll never go back.
23:49Out front of the base police office, Chief Scott had been waiting for a while.
23:53His bodyguard stepped up and handed him two files.
23:56One was a mission, the other was her mother's medical visa.
23:59He spoke with a hint of apology.
24:01I know everything.
24:02Don't worry, I've got your mom taken care of.
24:05As for the mission, it's up to you.
24:07If you want to take it, go ahead.
24:10If not, just go with your mom to Scandria and take a proper break.
24:15Claire took the papers and looked up.
24:17Snow was falling again in Silvercrest.
24:19The snow stayed white, but people had changed forever.
24:23Three days later, Claire came to the hospital alone, holding the drafted divorce papers.
24:27The cop on duty saw her and quickly looked away, awkwardly.
24:31The door was half open.
24:32Claire looked inside and saw Ethan sitting by Lydia's bed, gently blowing on a spoonful of soup.
24:37The doctor said, you can only have some liquid food.
24:40His voice was gentle, just like the way he used to coax her into taking medicine back then.
24:44He didn't leave until Lydia finished and he'd clean the dishes.
24:48Claire stepped back, avoiding him.
24:50Her heart ached uncontrollably.
24:52When he finally disappeared down the hallway, a police officer stopped her at the ward entrance.
24:57Miss Harris, you can't go in.
24:58Claire dialed Matthew's number and his voice broke into a furious yell through the phone.
25:02Let her in, and if Ethan dares to complain, tell him to come to my office and face the consequences.
25:11She was finally allowed in.
25:13The moment Lydia saw her, Lydia's eyes instantly reddened and said,
25:16About the heart, I'm really sorry.
25:18I had no idea it was your mother who needed it.
25:21Ethan, Captain Wilson, only took that heart because he was afraid something might happen to me.
25:26That he could not explain it to the higher-ups.
25:28He told me himself I was just his mission.
25:30You're the only woman he'll ever love.
25:33I wouldn't, and I'd never dare to try to take him from you.
25:36Tears streamed down her face, making her look pitiful.
25:39The cop beside her hesitated, sympathy flickering across his face.
25:42Miss Harris, she's innocent too.
25:44I just need to say a few things.
25:46Please wait for me by the door.
25:48Claire interrupted him.
25:49Seeing her stand firm, the cop finally stepped back to the door, but he didn't close it.
25:54How ridiculous.
25:55Her dad was a hero, her husband a special weapons and tactics officer.
25:58Yet both sides treated her like a threat.
26:01Like she was the criminal here.
26:03Stop crying.
26:04We're both women.
26:04I know exactly what you want.
26:06I don't understand what you mean.
26:08That day, Ethan wasn't wearing his bulletproof vest.
26:11So where's his vest?
26:12Don't tell me you have no idea.
26:14Do me a favor.
26:15Ethan would never agree to divorce me.
26:17You'll have to find a way to get him to sign it without realizing it.
26:20No.
26:20That's against military law.
26:22I haven't sued.
26:23But that doesn't mean I won't.
26:25Thank you, Miss Harris, for making this possible.
26:28Making this possible?
26:29On top of that, am I supposed to lose it?
26:32Taryn to Lydia, ball at Ethan, drag the entire Silvercrest unit into a scandal, and get their
26:37collective commendation revoked?
26:39Claire wasn't that selfish.
26:41But she couldn't forgive either.
26:42All she could do was rip Ethan out of her heart with her own hands.
26:45None need to thank me, and we won't be seeing each other again.
26:49Her father had died with honor, unyielding even in death.
26:52And she, no matter how broken or pitiful, would never give Lydia the satisfaction of
26:56watching her fall.
26:57Back at the military compound, Claire packed every gift Ethan had ever given her into a
27:02shipping box.
27:03When she was eight, Ethan pressed a glass jar full of blossom syrup into her arms and said,
27:08Here, some blossom syrup.
27:10It's sweet.
27:11When Claire was 18, Ethan wrapped his arm around her waist and dropped a bullet into her palm.
27:16Here, my little love token.
27:18At 22, he couldn't wait to file their marriage papers.
27:21He went down on one knee, ready to slip a ring on her finger.
27:25His hands that could steady a sniper rifle couldn't even steady a tiny wedding ring.
27:29Took him several minutes to finally put it on.
27:32He swallowed hard and smirked proudly.
27:34If you think you can just walk away from this military marriage, think again.
27:38I won't make it easy for you.
27:40In the end, the final gift he gave Claire was a faded, yellowed napkin.
27:43On it, he wrote,
27:44When I get out of the military, I'll take you to see the northern lights.
27:48Ethan.
27:49Claire's eyes stung.
27:50If Lydia hadn't appeared, maybe she could have waited for those northern lights.
27:54But there was no maybe in life.
27:56After packing everything, Claire scheduled a timed delivery to the base police office,
28:00stressing.
28:01The next morning, she was woken up by noise outside the door.
28:05Boxes from the moving company were stacked in the living room.
28:08Ethan was busy fitting a guardrail onto the crib.
28:10This is a child's safety lock.
28:12The sunset lit up the side of his face,
28:14and his usually cold eyes softened with a hint of warmth.
28:17I can just stay at my old place.
28:19It's not safe there.
28:20I can only relax if you stay here.
28:22Ethan's tone left no room for argument.
28:25Claire leaned against the doorframe, watching quietly for a while.
28:28Neither of them noticed her until Lydia picked up a photo from the table.
28:32Ethan, she said coldly,
28:34Do you remember where this is?
28:35You just let anyone in here now?
28:37Only then did Ethan realize she was home.
28:39This is the safest place.
28:41Once things settle down, I'll send them away.
28:44Do as you like.
28:44Miss Harris, I know I've been a bother.
28:47Please accept this small token of my appreciation.
28:49Claire opened it, and inside was the already signed divorce agreement.
28:53Ethan's signature at the end was sharp and bold,
28:56just like the name he had once carved into that bullet years ago.
29:10This is the last time, who had been signed off.
29:14So we are single-students that have been opened at the table.
29:15I could have been signed on for the first time.
29:30Yeah, I'm on the list.
29:30this is a little bit more.
29:30And then there's a little bit more.
29:35.
30:05.
