Short filmTranscript
00:00Back in New York my first surgery was on a young woman with a myomectomy
00:03She was still whining to her boyfriend on the phone while signing the consent form. It's literally a minor procedure
00:08Did you really have to drop a hundred million dollar deal and fly back from London for this?
00:16And stop buying me bags and jewelry. I seriously have no room left. She handed me the form
00:21My eyes landed on the emergency contact line
00:24Same name as my boyfriend. I smiled politely. What a coincidence
00:29Doctor, are all men named Ethan this love brain? I swear he did this to me
00:34He has energy all day a lot and he's a total clinger stage 5 period
00:40I just wanted a few quiet days, but he found out and flew back anyway. I froze
00:46I almost said my Ethan wasn't like that. My Ethan was composed
00:49polished married to work an
00:52Untouchable tech elite with a cold almost untouchable restraint
00:55She held up her phone and showed me her love-brained boyfriend
00:58My heart stopped on the screen was my boyfriend of three years
01:02But my Ethan was never clingy never the lovesick type even at our most intimate. He always held something back
01:09Not now
01:11Okay, Dr. Reed all signed anything else you need from me held on to a professional smile
01:15I still need your allergy history before we can finalize the surgical plan and date
01:19Oh, no, I left my file at home after my premarital checkup. Looks like we'll have to push the surgery
01:23back again
01:24I raised my head holding back the bitter tears surging in my sockets. You're married?
01:29You look barely out of college
01:32Yep
01:35We got married on May 9 last year. You have no idea how scared he was I'd run
01:39I was still at Columbia University. I hadn't even graduated yet
01:42He rushed me to sign the papers like I'd marry someone else if he waited another second
01:46Back in college. He bought a place right by campus to look after me. He's so clingy. It's suffocating
01:51She flicked her wrist looking mock annoyed
01:54Under the desk my hand wouldn't stop trembling
01:57May 9th
01:58The day my mother died
01:59I'll never forget that date that day. I called him over and over
02:03Just wanted to tell him how shattered I was
02:05How badly I needed him there?
02:07Even just one hug
02:09What I got instead was a cold text
02:11Clara, I'm sorry. The company's at a critical stage right now. I really can't get away
02:17Don't worry. Once things calm down. I'll make time to visit your mom's grave
02:23So he wasn't too busy. He was busy marrying someone else doctor
02:27Dr. Reed
02:29So should I go home and get the file?
02:32I'll come with you
02:34Wouldn't that be too much trouble?
02:35Not at all
02:36The sooner we do the surgery the better
02:37Delaying it won't be good for your health
02:39We went downstairs together and got into her car
02:40It was a custom-modified Mercedes-Benz G-Class
02:44Luxury everywhere
02:45But with soft girly touches in every detail
02:48She kept talking throughout the entire drive
02:50She told me about the Caribbean islands they'd visited
02:52The Michelin-starred restaurants they'd gone to
02:54And the first night they crossed the line
02:56Her smile was sweet and unbearable
02:59I stared out the window as the city blurred by
03:01Thinking about the future Ethan and I used to plan together
03:05Then the car stopped in front of a luxury high-rise
03:07Sutton Tower
03:08One of the most exclusive buildings in New York
03:10We used to say that after we got married we'd buy the penthouse there
03:13Turns out before I ever got a wedding
03:16Someone else became the lady of the house
03:17The second I stepped inside the apartment
03:19It froze
03:19The interior layout
03:21The design style
03:22Every single detail
03:23It was exactly like the floor plans I had once sent Ethan
03:26This place is gorgeous
03:28I thought maybe we simply had similar tastes
03:30Did you design it?
03:31She handed me a glass of water and left
03:33Really?
03:33Thanks
03:34But Ethan designed it
03:35He said he based it entirely on what I like
03:38Guess he knows me pretty well
03:41Look, he even added that little ledge next to the toilet so I could put my phone there
03:45I went still
03:46That ledge was my idea
03:50That ledge was my idea
03:52One winter night I was curled up in our tiny rental with takeout and my tablet
03:56Sketching out our future home
03:57I pointed at the screen and walked him through every little idea I had
04:01I thought he was listening because he was building our future
04:04Turned out I designed someone else's love nest
04:07Tiffany dragged me around to show me her castle
04:09Another woman was living in the home I had designed
04:11It felt like swallowing a fistful of broken glass
04:14We reached the second floor just as a door swung open
04:16And a white poodle bolted straight into Tiffany's arms
04:18Why are you always this excited to see mommy?
04:21You sweet thing
04:22Then the dog turned
04:23And ran straight at me
04:25Its tail went wild
04:26It rubbed its head against my leg and leapt up at me
04:28My whole body locked up
04:30The fur
04:31The way it moved
04:32Dr. Reed, wow
04:35Casper really likes you
04:36At this rate, he likes you more than me
04:38My throat tightened
04:40His name is Casper?
04:41Yeah
04:42He's five
04:43I've only had him for two years though
04:45Ethan got him from a friend
04:48He said he didn't want me getting lonely at home
04:52So he found a sweet, gentle dog to keep me company
04:55Of course it felt familiar
04:56My grandmother gave me that dog before she died
04:58I raised him for three years
05:00Then one day he vanished
05:02I thought I had lost him
05:03I cried for a week straight
05:05Ethan held me while I fell apart and said
05:07Don't cry, Clara
05:08I'll always be with you
05:09He wasn't lost after all
05:11Ethan had given him away
05:12Just a gift to please his new girlfriend
05:14Tiffany pushed open the bedroom door
05:16And started looking for her medical records
05:17But my eyes got stuck on something mounted to the wall
05:20A handwritten weekly schedule
05:21It was Ethan's handwriting
05:23Clean
05:24Sharp
05:25Monday through Sunday
05:26What is this?
05:27Oh, that's Ethan's daily checklist
05:30I'm kind of a clean freak
05:32And I don't like strangers in the house
05:34So I have him handle all the chores
05:36I stood there
05:37A chill running through me
05:41When Ethan and I lived together
05:42We had a cleaner
05:43Sometimes I couldn't even stand looking at the mess
05:45So I washed his shirts and socks myself
05:47Now he was happily doing all of it for someone else
05:50Found it
05:52Doctor
05:52Is this the one?
05:54I opened it numbly
05:54Every signature line for spouse or family contact
05:57Said the same name
05:58Ethan Hayes
05:59I knew his handwriting better than my own
06:02No problem
06:03I'll let you know the surgery date
06:06Doctor
06:08Don't rush off
06:09It looks like it's about to rain
06:10And it's almost dinner time
06:11Weirdly enough
06:12I feel like we really clicked
06:14Stay and eat with us
06:15Ethan makes an amazing beef wemington
06:17We were together for years
06:18And that man barely stepped into a kitchen
06:20Before I could refuse
06:21She had already pushed me onto the couch
06:23Then she called him
06:25Ethan?
06:26Where are you?
06:27Hurry home and cook
06:28The voice on the other end was familiar
06:30And completely foreign
06:31Gone was the cold distance I knew
06:33In its place was warm, indulgent affection
06:36My little troublemaker
06:37I was waiting outside the hospital
06:39With a bouquet of roses for you
06:40And you just slipped away without a word
06:42A bouquet of roses
06:44We'd been together five years
06:45And he'd never once bought me roses
06:47The only time any roses came
06:49Was on my birthday
06:50His assistant had picked them up on his behalf
06:52Because he'd completely forgotten the day
06:53Stop wasting money on flowers, Queenie
06:56Just get home
06:57We have a guest
06:58And she's dying to see what you can do in the kitchen
07:01He laughed
07:01A full, open laugh I had never heard in my life
07:04Okay
07:10I sat there on the couch
07:12Barely breathing
07:13My nails dug into my palm until the pain turned sharp
07:17Those roses
07:18Picking her up at the hospital himself
07:20Calling her a little troublemaker
07:23Laughing like that
07:24None of that was ever mine
07:26I couldn't even picture the ether I knew in an apron
07:28Standing in a kitchen
07:30I was still casting around for an excuse to leave
07:32When lightning split the sky
07:34A second later came the low roll of thunder
07:37I covered my ears on instinct
07:39But the violent crash I braced for never came
07:41Doctor
07:43Are you scared of thunder too?
07:45I nodded
07:45It wasn't fear so much as trauma-driven terror
07:48You're fine in this apartment
07:50Honestly, even if a bomb went off outside the door
07:52You wouldn't hear a thing
07:54When Ethan found out I'm scared of thunder
07:56He had the whole place upgraded
07:57Top tier sound
07:58I just stood there
08:01And the way I'd covered my ears seconds earlier felt pathetic
08:04When I was a kid
08:05I survived a major car accident and a thunderstorm
08:09After that
08:09Heavy rain and loud thunder always triggered me
08:12I shake
08:13Break out in cold sweats
08:14And want to curl into a ball
08:16I once texted Ethan about it
08:17He just laughed it off
08:19Come on, Clara
08:20It's not that bad
08:20You just miss me, don't you?
08:22Baby, I'm about to jump into an international meeting
08:24Get some sleep
08:25Good night
08:26That was it
08:27On those stormy nights
08:28I wrapped myself in blankets
08:30And shivered through it alone
08:32Sweat is soaking the pillow
08:33Biting my hand so I wouldn't cry out
08:35So no
08:36He did believe me
08:37He just didn't care
08:38Because I wasn't the one he cared about
08:41Dazed
08:41I reached for the glass in the coffee table
08:43My hand slipped
08:44Water spilled onto a stack of papers nearby
08:46A title flashed across the page
08:48Accident Investigation Report
08:53I grabbed tissues
08:54Flustered
08:54Trying to wipe it off
08:56It's okay
08:57Really
08:57It's just an old file
08:59Totally useless now
09:01But my hand froze
09:03I knew that report format instantly
09:04You were in a car accident too?
09:06Not me
09:07My cousin
09:08A few years ago
09:09He drove drunk and hit a woman
09:10It was serious
09:11Honestly
09:11I thought it should go through the courts
09:13It was drunk driving
09:14But they wouldn't stop bothering me
09:15So I mentioned it to Ethan
09:16I have no idea what he did
09:18But somehow he made the whole thing disappear
09:19Can I
09:20See that report?
09:22Sure
09:22She handed it over without a second thought
09:24My eyes went straight to the victim's name
09:26My mother
09:28Printed in black and white
09:29Everything pierced through me at once
09:31The time
09:32The location
09:32The cause
09:34It all matched
09:35But the conclusion said a minor collision
09:38No
09:39My mother wasn't sidespiring
09:40She was knocked to the ground
09:42The driver panicked
09:43Backed up
09:44And ran over her
09:45Her neck was broken
09:46And she died on the spot
09:48That year
09:49I went half insane
09:50Trying to appeal that disgusting report
09:52I begged anyone who would listen
09:54Every door I knocked on
09:55Was slammed in my face
09:56Someone splashed red paint
09:57Across our front door
09:58My elderly father
09:59Got threatening phone calls
10:00And became too scared
10:01To leave the house
10:01Ethan held me
10:02As I completely fell apart
10:03Saying the same thing
10:05Over and over
10:06We can't fight them
10:06This world is darker than you think
10:08I knelt in front of my mother's grave
10:09And apologized again and again
10:10I'm sorry
10:11To keep my father safe
10:12I backed off
10:13But I secretly kept every piece of evidence I had left
10:16I told myself one day
10:17The truth would come back into the light
10:19I just never imagined the man behind it
10:21Was the man I loved for five years
10:25My face went pale
10:26I recorded every word while Tiffany talked
10:29My fingers were shaking
10:30As I sent the audio and the photos
10:31To the old attorney
10:32Who had worked on my mother's case
10:34Would it finally be enough
10:35To expose the cover up
10:36And uncover the truth
10:37I took a deep breath
10:38And pushed it all down
10:39Then I went and sat on the couch
10:41A second later
10:42The front door unlocked
10:43Ethan walked in
10:44Carrying a massive bouquet of red roses
10:46He didn't see me in the corner
10:48He went straight to Tiffany
10:49And pressed a tender kiss to her lips
10:51She smiled
10:51And gave his chest a light push
10:54Okay, okay
10:55Look at you
10:56Desperate much?
10:58We have a guest
10:59Put that down
11:01And go show off your cooking
11:05The bouquet hit the floor
11:07For one second
11:08The whole world went silent
11:09I stood up slowly
11:11Ethan
11:13When did you get married?
11:16I never got invited to the wedding
11:20Tiffany's face went blank
11:22Her eyes moved between us
11:23Dr. Reed
11:25How do you know my husband?
11:26Ethan kept his head down
11:28Refusing to meet her eyes
11:29The air in the room turned suffocating
11:31The Ethan Hales you were talking about
11:34Is the same one I've been talking about, isn't it?
11:36I said nothing
11:37I didn't need to
11:38You'd better explain this
11:41Right now
11:42Baby, listen to me
11:43That was in the past
11:45Yes, we had a relationship
11:46But it ended a long time ago
11:48The person I love now is you
11:50You're my wife
11:51Before I saw him standing there
11:52Part of me still wanted to believe there was some explanation
11:55Some huge misunderstanding
11:57But watching him erase our years together like they meant nothing
12:00That didn't hurt
12:01It numbed me
12:02I just felt stupid
12:04I loved a man like that for five years
12:06I had talked about ending my overseas training early before
12:08Coming back to New York
12:10Living with him
12:11Planning our wedding
12:12I was 28
12:14Everyone around me was settling down
12:15He always gave me the same answer
12:18Baby, I can't be the reason you give up your career and your dreams
12:22Now I thought back to all the signs
12:24Calls that suddenly went dead
12:25An extra place sitting at dinner
12:26A pink towel in his bathroom
12:29Every detail had been screaming the truth
12:31I just kept letting his sweet words blind me
12:36I just showed Tiffany the last few texts between Ethan and me
12:38The final one was from that morning
12:41I love you, baby
12:42Tiffany snapped
12:44Ethan hailed you bastard
12:46I'm divorcing you
12:49It was the first time I had ever seen Ethan explode at me
12:52Why did you come here?
12:54You're destroying everything I've built
12:57I never asked you to marry me in all these years
13:00Haven't you gotten the hint?
13:01I have a family now
13:02Tiffany is a good woman
13:05Why did you have to show up?
13:07Why did you have to take it this far?
13:09Listening to him twist everything like that
13:10Like I was the one at fault
13:12My face went cold
13:13You forgot something
13:15His eyes started darting away
13:16My mother was run over and killed because of a deliberate cut off
13:21I took one more step
13:21My voice came out cold as ice
13:24So tell me why you helped them fake the evidence
13:27You met my mother
13:29She loved you
13:30She practically treated you like a son
13:34The second he saw the copy of the accident report in my hand
13:37The last of his mask fell apart
13:41That day
13:42It was Tiffany's uncle
13:45A state legislator
13:47He personally came to me
13:50I had no choice
13:53When I love someone I do everything for her
13:55Tiffany is clean, genuine, and kind
13:57She deserved everything I did for her
13:59He stood there praising another woman to my face
14:01I laughed until I cried
14:02At 23
14:03I gave that man everything
14:05I pulled another document from my bag
14:07A copy of Tiffany's medical file
14:09I threw it in front of him
14:11Uterine wall thinning caused by repeated physical inflammation
14:14Chronic
14:15That's impossible
14:17How could Tiffany?
14:18Ethan, your judgment is embarrassingly bad
14:21And as for my mother, I'm not done with that
14:23Expect to hear from my lawyer
14:25I didn't let him say another word
14:26I turned around and called a car
14:28On the ride, my dad called
14:30His voice was older now
14:31But still warm
14:33Clara
14:33What time are you getting off today?
14:35The second I heard him
14:37My throat tightened
14:37There was silence for a few seconds
14:39Like he already knew something had happened
14:41Come home, sweetheart
14:43Your mom may be gone
14:44But I'll always be here for you
14:46I nodded hard
14:46If I could go back five years
14:48I'd wish for one thing only
14:50That I had never met Ethan Hayes
14:53The next day, I met with Attorney Goldman
14:55Years ago, the key evidence in my mother's case
14:58Had been buried under Ethan's money and connections
15:00Now, with the recording and the new evidence I found
15:03The case finally had a chance
15:06Goldman held the documents with both hands
15:09Clara, trust me
15:10This time justice is not slipping away
15:13And with hard evidence on our side
15:15Ethan couldn't bury it again
15:17No matter how powerful he thought he was
15:19Maybe he had started to see Tiffany for who she really was, too
15:22I heard that when her legislator uncle came asking for help again
15:27Ethan threw him out
15:29Then, the divorce between Ethan and Tiffany
15:32Turned into a public spectacle
15:33Neither of them tried to save it
15:36Both were convinced the other had betrayed them
15:38Through all of that, Ethan started texting me
15:41Clara, I know I made unforgivable mistakes
15:44But now I realize you were always the right person for me
15:48Can we give each other one more chance?
15:50If you come back, we can get married immediately
15:54I read those messages and felt nothing but disgust
15:57I didn't reply
15:59I blocked him
16:00Deleted him
16:01Done
16:02After dealing with that mess, I decided to take a long vacation
16:06Even if I had cut him off in my head
16:08Dad fully supported it
16:10Marriage can wait
16:12Don't force it
16:13And if the right man never shows up, it's fine
16:16Your dad will take care of you for the rest of his life
16:21With my father's blessing, I left
16:23My first stop was Paris
16:25The city people call the capital of romance
16:27I thought solo travel might feel lonely
16:29But it didn't
16:30Once I settled into the rhythm of it
16:34Being alone felt peaceful
16:35I did what I wanted
16:37I met interesting people, too
16:39We didn't talk about the past
16:40We just lived in the moment
16:42Then one day, Attorney Goldman called with the verdict
16:45My mother's case had been reopened
16:47We won
16:48And all I could think was
16:50Mom, you finally got justice
16:52That night, I stood by the Seine with a glass in my hand
16:55For the first time in years, I felt completely relaxed
16:58One afternoon in Le Marais
17:01I lost my wallet
17:03And my phone
17:04I checked every pocket
17:06My palms sweating
17:08Then, a handsome man appeared in front of me
17:11You have a besoin dead?
17:12Flustered
17:13I blurted out
17:14I lost my wallet
17:15I don't know what to do
17:17You're American?
17:18That familiar accent hits me harder than I expected
17:23His name was Alex Winter
17:25Once he understood what had happened
17:27He took me to file a police report
17:29Then, he calmly helped me retrace my steps
17:32In the end, we found my things at the little cafe
17:35Where I'd stopped earlier
17:37Let me buy you a coffee to thank you
17:39Just coffee?
17:40Come on
17:41After all that, the least you could do is dinner
17:45I laughed
17:46You know what?
17:47Fair
17:47We talked for hours
17:49I found out he was an architect
17:51He was gentle
17:52Funny
17:54Effortlessly charming
17:55There was always a warmth in his voice
17:57Something that made people feel at ease
17:59When he heard I was here to clear my head
18:01He offered to spend time with me
18:03We exchanged contact info
18:07And over the next few days, he became my private guide
18:10He took me all over Paris
18:12Big landmarks
18:14Hidden corners
18:14Quiet streets I never would have found on my own
18:16He told me stories about the city's history and its romance
18:19And the best part?
18:20Neither of us asked what came next
18:22We just stayed in the moment
18:24Then one night, back at the hotel
18:25My phone rang
18:27Unknown number
18:28Clara, you blocked me
18:31Do you have any idea how hard I've been trying to find you?
18:36Ethan Hales, what do you want?
18:37We broke up
18:38You know the Hayes family business
18:39There's no way I'm giving that up
18:42She's suing me, but don't worry
18:44I won't let her win
18:47I have evidence of what she did behind my back, too
18:51I hired the best attorneys
18:55Ethan, why are you telling me this?
18:59I don't care
19:01Do not contact me again
19:03He tried to keep talking
19:04I hung up
19:05Then blocked and deleted that number, too
19:07But he just used another one
19:09If I didn't answer, he sent texts
19:11At first they were urgent
19:13Then pathetic
19:13Then desperate
19:15Clara
19:15I really know I was wrong
19:17Please give me one more chance
19:18Just one
19:20I've paid for my stupidity
19:21So I switched my phone to airplane mode
19:24Took a shower
19:25Let the warm water wash the day off me
19:27And slept soundly
19:28I stayed in Paris for a month
19:30My hospital leave was almost over
19:32So I booked a flight home
19:33Turns out Alex was heading back to New York, too
19:36And somehow
19:37His studio was in the exact same neighborhood as my hospital
19:40The coincidence made it easy
19:42We flew back together
19:44When the plane landed at JFK
19:45And I stepped onto familiar ground
19:47I didn't expect someone to come running at me
19:49The second I stepped out of the terminal
19:50It was Ethan
19:53He looked ten years older in just one month
19:56Scruffy beard
19:56Claire, listen to me
19:58Exhausted face
19:59That expensive suit was wrinkled and hanging off him
20:01The polished Wall Street prince was gone
20:03I came here to confess
20:06To tell you everything
20:08If you give me one more chance, I'll do anything
20:10Anything
20:11In one month, the company stock dropped 50%
20:14That bitch Tiffany teamed up with her family and sabotaged me
20:17The company is a disaster right now
20:18I finally understand
20:21You're the one who was right for me
20:22There's only one woman who should ever be called Mrs. Hayes
20:25And that's you
20:26I swear I'll never do this again
20:29Please
20:30Just give me one chance
20:32Just give me one chance
20:34Ethan let go of me
20:35It hurts
20:36The more I resisted
20:37The tighter his grip became
20:38I finally snapped
20:39Ethan, enough
20:40Do you seriously think this pathetic act means anything?
20:43It's over
20:45You gave up on me first
20:46So what exactly are you trying to perform now?
20:49Devotion?
20:50Regret?
20:51Don't you hear how disgusting you sound?
20:54I know I was wrong
20:56Alex stepped firmly in front of me
20:57His tall frame blocking everything else from view
21:01Alex stepped firmly in front of me
21:03His tall frame blocking everything else from view
21:05Didn't you hear her?
21:06She said it hurts
21:07That stunned Ethan
21:08He could tell instantly
21:10By the clothes
21:11The presence
21:12The way Alex carried himself
21:14This man was in a different league entirely
21:16He got defensive fast
21:19Who is he?
21:20Why are you with another man?
21:21You moved on that fast?
21:22Is he why you won't get back with me?
21:24I almost laughed
21:25Ethan, don't project your filth onto other people
21:27And even if it were because of him
21:29What would that have to do with you?
21:32We're over
21:35You're nothing but someone I chose to leave behind
21:37Got into the car waiting for us
21:38And never looked back
21:40You clear out!
21:40Behind me, Ethan was shouting
21:42I didn't hear a word
21:43In the car
21:44Alex didn't ask questions
21:46But I told him everything anyway
21:48Maybe because I finally trusted someone enough to
21:50And once I started
21:51The tears came too
21:53He listened quietly the whole time
21:55Then after a long pause
21:56He spoke
21:58If I'd met you earlier
21:59Maybe you wouldn't have gone through all this
22:01My heart skipped
22:02What does that mean?
22:03I'm almost 30
22:04My family's been pushing me for years
22:06But I've been holding out for the right person
22:08After spending this time with you
22:10I think I've found her
22:12Would you be willing to try?
22:13I was stunned
22:14I didn't expect him to say it so directly
22:16But he didn't push
22:17It's okay
22:18You can take your time
22:20But for the record
22:21A man as good as me
22:22Doesn't stay available forever
22:24Don't think too long
22:25Or someone else might snap me up
22:29I had the driver stop at my mother's cemetery
22:32Alex insisted on coming with me
22:34I knelt there for a long time
22:36I told mom everything
22:38The pain
22:39The anger
22:39The relief of finally letting go
22:42Alex stood at a distance the whole time
22:44And somehow
22:45That made me feel safe
22:48When I got home
22:50Dad had made a huge dinner
22:51Alex walked me all the way to the door
22:53I invited him in
22:54But he waved it off with a shy smile
22:56First visit and I came empty handed
22:58I didn't push
23:00Then my dad came out to get me
23:03And saw him
23:03His eyes lit up immediately
23:06Before Alex could escape
23:07Dad pulled him inside
23:08So just like that
23:10The three of us sat down together
23:12At dinner
23:13Dad and Alex got along instantly
23:14I could tell
23:16Dad really liked him
23:17It was the kind of look a father only gave
23:20When he was already sizing someone up as a son-in-law
23:22Clara
23:23That young man is clearly taken with you
23:25He's decent
23:27Capable
23:27Solid
23:28He's the kind of man a woman can lean on
23:34Trust your old dad
23:35Give him a real chance
23:36Something shifted in me hearing
23:38That
23:39To keep him from worrying
23:40I nodded
23:41That dinner ended up being genuinely lovely
23:47The next day
23:48Alex had a lot of gifts delivered to the house
23:50He really didn't have to send all this
23:52It's manner
23:53Besides if your father's gonna be my father-in-law someday
23:55I'd better do things properly
23:57Can't have him thinking I'm stingy
24:00I laughed
24:02The next day
24:03I went back to the hospital
24:05And threw myself into work
24:06What I didn't expect
24:08Was to find Ethan waiting outside my apartment that night
24:10I felt instant irritation
24:12I ignored him and kept walking
24:14He started shouting downstairs so loudly
24:16That neighbors began peeking out their windows
24:18Clara
24:19If you don't forgive me
24:20I'm not leaving
24:21I shut every window in my apartment
24:23And blocked out his voice
24:24That harassment went on for about a week
24:26Then
24:27One day
24:28He just vanished
24:30I let out a quiet sigh of relief
24:32Thinking he had finally given up
24:34And things could go back to normal
24:35A week later
24:36I completed a highly successful new clinical procedure
24:39The hospital was thrilled
24:43My co-workers insisted on throwing me a celebration dinner
24:47At the table
24:48Everyone was laughing and talking
24:50Did you hear about Ethan Hayes from the Hayes family?
24:52Hearing that name again
24:55Did nothing to me
24:59My co-worker kept going
25:01It turned out Ethan had disappeared suddenly
25:04Because Tiffany wanted to take most of his assets in the divorce
25:07Ethan refused
25:08And it turned into a vicious court fight
25:10After one argument
25:11He stormed over to her place to confront her
25:13And found her in bed with another man
25:15He lost it
25:16A fight broke out
25:17In the chaos
25:18Ethan was stabbed
25:19After he was taken to the hospital
25:21A top medical team saved his life
25:23But
25:24He was
25:25Brain dead
25:27Kept alive
25:28By machines
25:29Tiffany fled the country right after
25:32No one knows where she went
25:33Her lover was arrested
25:35That was the end of it
25:37I just let out a long breath
25:39The night wind drifted
25:40In through the window
25:41Cool against my skin
25:43All that love
25:44All that hate
25:45All that devastation
25:46And in the end
25:47It all just
25:49Faded
25:51Dr. Reed
25:52Where to?
25:53After the gathering
25:54I walked to the entrance of the hospital
25:55A familiar black car sat at the curb
25:58The window rolled down
25:59Alex looked over and gave the horn a light tap
26:01I smiled
26:02Come
26:05I smiled
26:05I diameter
26:05I hum
26:05I
26:05You
