05:14yesterday was my fault
05:16i thought mella was in real danger
05:18she's carrying a child
05:19i couldn't risk it
05:20then why would she suddenly walk straight up to that horse
05:24she was just nervous
05:25maybe she wanted to prove she isn't so fragile
05:27it's just too bright
05:29it doesn't belong over a wound
05:30zoe i already apologized
05:32don't twist every little thing into something dark
05:34a gift can't cover what your eyes already chose
05:36i let the wound stay bare

06:10so is the man who gave it to me
06:11i keep the photo
06:12not for him
06:13so i never forget how easily i believed his smile
06:16withdrawing the full balance in cash
06:18an amount like this i'll need to note the purpose

07:30he sealed me in like luggage
07:31i stopped begging my phone

07:35indoor signal jammers on
07:36mr carter says no stranger numbers get near her today
07:38what about the second floor windows

07:58his whole world
08:00i left it under the note
08:05the window bit my arm open
08:07i didn't make a sound
08:08pain was cheaper than asking him to unlock a door
08:11this time the side door wasn't his choice
08:14it was mine
08:15i wasn't supposed to be here
08:16but the screen dragged the whole city into our wedding
08:21let's celebrate benjamin carter and mila murphy
08:23a brand new beginning
08:25witnessed right here at home
08:26huge wedding
08:27the carters really know how to put on a show
08:29i heard some woman tried to make a scene
08:32it got shut down fast
08:33they turned my engagement into his public wedding
08:35i let them keep the show and took myself out of it
08:38passengers for hanuala
08:39please prepare to board at this time

08:43bride's pregnant
08:44no wonder they rushed it
08:46online they say some bitter ex tried to wreck the wedding
08:48so pathetic
08:49people like that should just disappear
08:51have a safe life
08:52three years ago he hid me in a staff hall
08:55and promised i'd stop using side doors
08:57i'm still leaving by the side
08:58this time the door is mine
09:00i didn't turn around to tell them who i was
09:02i'd already vanished further than they could imagine
09:07the whole stadium is cheering for us
09:09and i'm the only one who can't hear a single sound of it
09:13mr carter you may now kiss your bride
09:16ben the cameras are rolling
09:18i touch her forehead like a husband should
09:20but everything inside me
09:21has already walked off this field
09:23no one's answering at the house
09:25they said she's resting upstairs
09:26but nobody saw her come down

10:02it might just be a device lag
10:04he's chasing one faint signal across the city
10:07she gave everything back

10:10can one weak signal really bring her back
10:16the tracker pig somewhere right around here

10:31get back and release a statement
10:33do you even know zoe is gone
10:34she's an adult she'll come back
10:37what matters is the press not saying you abandoned your bride
10:40the one i abandoned wasn't her
10:41mila is still crying
10:43the murphys want answers
10:45when zoe walked out
10:46did any of you give her answers
10:48i'm wearing it now
10:49i found where the wedding spear started
10:52the payment chain runs through two layers
10:54but it ends at mila's private assistant
10:56say that again
10:57mila paid to feed zoe's name
10:59and your past to the gossip accounts
11:01she wanted zoe cut off before the wedding
11:03ben you're finally taking my calls

11:27in front of everyone
11:29the payment left mila's assistant account

11:54i couldn't let her ruin us
11:57you promised you'd protect me
11:59you said everything would be fine after the wedding
12:02i said a lot of wrong things
12:03benjamin enough
12:04for someone who walked away
12:06you'd destroy your unborn child
12:07if that child isn't the future zoe wanted
12:09it means nothing to what i'm chasing back now
12:10i lost my mind long ago
12:12i just learned today
12:13i lost it in the wrong direction
12:14you can't take her
12:16the merkins won't let you walk away from this
12:19ben i'll die
12:20without this baby
12:21i have nothing
12:23when you all shoved zoe in front of the whole world
12:25she had nothing either
12:29you're not this kind of man
12:31i am
12:32i just used to aim this cruelty at zoe
12:35carter you know what you're doing
12:37without the murphys
12:38what's left of your team
12:39your foundation

13:38mr carter the brand damage is already out of control
13:40we weigh every word now
13:42i've been careful for three years

13:44the second you say it
13:46every reporter will remember zoe's name
13:49they've already cursed her
13:50at least this time let them know who she really is
13:55mr carter did you walk out on the wedding to handle your fiance's medical crisis
13:59i'll say one thing today
14:00zoe hart is no ex-lover
14:02no troublemaker
14:03no third party in any wedding scandal
14:05she's the partner i hid for three years
14:07she cared for me
14:09supported me
14:10so you admit you stayed involved with zoe hart during the murphy wedding
14:13i admit i heard her i admit i left her alone to bear the humiliation when i should have protected
14:17her most
14:18mrs murphy carter just admitted zoe hart is his long-time partner
14:21did the wedding day leak about zoe come from you
14:23i don't know
14:24i was very unwell back then
14:26i knew nothing
14:26sources say the payment account belongs to your private assistant
14:29i just wanted her gone
14:31i never thought they'd curse her like that
14:33this time
14:34i didn't call her name
14:36i just stood there
14:38waiting for a voice
14:39that wasn't coming
14:41i said it out loud
14:47used to say i cook noodles like i'm running a play
14:50everything on a clock

15:10i said it zoe
15:11i told them all who you really are
15:15that's good

15:18the other side of the bed was empty
15:19the pillow held no shape of her at all
15:22the alarm reminded him the team meeting started in 20 minutes
15:25he didn't move
15:26he sat there a long time
15:28until the alarm gave up on him

15:33i'll look at it
15:34you haven't finished a training report in two weeks
15:37you say that every single time
15:39the bowls in the empty house always went cold
15:42under the white lights his throws were always a beat too slow
15:46the playbook stayed open to the same page
15:48the ring swinging in his damp collar
15:51time hadn't healed him
15:52it had only worn the breakdown down into numbness

19:45thank you for last night
19:47but the flowers aren't right
19:50i understand
19:52you said you understood last time too
19:54i just wanted to give you something good
19:56when you give me something good
19:57it usually comes with an audience
19:58the ring had no audience
19:59so later you could deny it
20:00the wedding had one
20:01so you told me to stay away
20:02now there's an audience for the flowers too
20:03so if i refuse
20:04i look like the cruel one
20:05we have no future benjamin
20:06remember that that
20:06it helps more than flowers
20:10the crushed flowers
20:12the wet paper
20:13the coffee cup
20:15it was uglier than any wedding arch
20:17and far more honest
20:19none of it was broken
20:20none of it was thrown back in anger
20:22return this calmly
20:23it felt more like a line i could never cross
20:25some people don't refuse kindness
20:27they just don't want want it from you
20:29i know
20:30for the first time
20:32he didn't write her name on it
20:35if you keep doing this
20:36the guests will think i'm being followed
20:37sorry i just wanted to make sure you got back safe
20:40do you remember
20:40before your first championship
20:42you said when the season ended
20:43you'd take me to see thee the ocean
20:44back then i'd never seen a real ocean
20:46then you kept saying next
20:47next sea was axe
20:48next sea was off season
20:49until i came here on my own
20:50so when you ask me to give you a chance now
20:53i'm confused
20:55benjamin you've already had so many
20:56he finally understood
20:58this wasn't a backdrop for reunion
21:00it was the place she'd reached alone
21:02the place he'd been absent too long
21:04to ever lead her to
21:08he used to close every distance with money
21:10now one step is all the right he has left
21:12if i wasted every chance before
21:14then what about now
21:15i'm not asking for forgiveness
21:17just one chance
21:19played by your rules
21:21starting from which time
21:22exactly
21:23from the mountain road
21:24or the maternity board
21:26from the ring back on my hand
21:28or the night i climbed out the window
21:30zoe
21:31you say give me one now
21:32but back then
21:33i kept giving you all of mine
21:36you knew i'm afraid of the dark
21:37you still walked away that night
21:39that was one chance
21:40i never refused you chances
21:43zoe's not working today
21:44she took a few days off
21:46where did she go
21:47i'm sorry
21:48we can't share a staff person's private schedule
21:51i just want to know she's safe
21:52if she needs help
21:53she'll reach out to us
21:54she didn't need me to confirm she was safe anymore
21:56her old number was dead
21:58the new one
21:59i had no right to know
22:00i don't know where she is
22:02when she'll be back
22:03or if she'll think of me
22:04tonight i just have to sit with not knowing
22:09i know you told me to drop it
22:10but a travel desk confirmed she switched hotels
22:13i'm sending the address
22:14ben this isn't healthy
22:15a few days gone doesn't mean she's in danger
22:17you're allowed to not know where she is
22:19really
22:20if you go now you're not saving her
22:22you're saving yourself
22:23from not being able to stand the loss of control
22:24the room key stayed on the table
22:27a choice he left behind
22:29this neutral lobby wasn't his
22:31and waiting here was already a mistake
22:33sir
22:34would you like a room
22:36i'm waiting for someone
22:37if the guest prefers not to be disturbed
22:39we'll have to ask you to leave
22:41she wasn't a missing person in some story
22:43she just hadn't handed him her schedule
22:47so you tracked me after all
22:48i know i shouldn't be here
22:50but i keep thinking
22:51if we start it over
22:53i don't dare ask you to wear it
22:54i just want you to know that promise wasn't fake
22:56it was real
22:58that's why it hurts more
22:59fake things break and don't matter
23:01you turned something real into a cage
23:03i won't deny i was happy
23:05that's how i know every time you hid me after wasn't a mistake
23:08benjamin the start was never a ticket
23:09you can't carry it back to make me open the door
23:11what else can i do
