Short filmTranscript
00:00The worst years of my bipolar, I bought myself, a broke scholarship kid, 15 grand a month,
00:06I'd take a riding crop to that ridiculous body of his, slap that face, the one too pretty
00:11for its own good, I liked BDSM, loved playing with him most of all, finals week, stress
00:16through the roof, so I called him over to my place, the moment he walked in, he took
00:20the riding crop from my hand himself, dragged the leather tip across his own abs,
00:30later, I wore myself out hitting him and fell asleep, how did I wake up here, did Ethan
00:37decide I went too hard and sell me off while I was unconscious, I look around, lost, everything
00:42is cold white, expensive sleek furniture, floors so grey they gleam, and these strangers, all
00:48staring at their phones, nobody looks at me, I swallow and get ready to slip out, the door
00:53opens without a sound, the man holding it bows with an apologetic smile, and Ethan walks in
00:58behind him, awake, he moves to the seat directly across from me, I stare as he lifts his wrist
01:05without thinking, a Patek Philippe sits on that lean strong forearm, everything about him
01:09radiate, something that doesn't belong to him, something effortless and expensive, this
01:15is not the Ethan Mercer I remember, he doesn't look at me, opens his mouth, unhurried, this
01:23he did sell me, my voice cuts through the room, what we had was consensual, you wanted
01:28out, you could have just said so, selling me off is a whole other level of low, everyone
01:34freezes, the round faced girl next to me taps my arm gently, Ethan, Ethan cuts her off, his
01:40gaze locks onto me, cold and flat, are you having an episode, he dares talk to me like that, the
01:45old Ethan Mercer, no matter how hard I hit him, would only press his hand to his face, look
01:50up at me with those damp, hazy eyes, and grit out two words, more money, now he has the nerve
01:56to call me crazy, I shoot to my feet and swing, the slap cracks across his face, you wanna get
02:01hit, I'll ask one more time, where is this, Ethan lifts his hand and wipes the corner of
02:11his mouth, watches me, that look, it's too complicated, for a second I'm sure he's about to hit me back,
02:16but a few seconds pass, he presses his lips tight, leans into my ear, wanna keep going, get it out
02:22of
02:23your system, then we work, I can't bring myself to swing again, too many people, kills the momentum,
02:29I drop back into my seat, I'm leaving, now, Ethan lowers his head and goes back to the contract,
02:35suit yourself, then to the room, the rest of you go, it's past six, past six, what is even happening,
02:41my head spins, I wander the building for what feels like forever, and can't even find the elevator,
02:47the round faced girl catches up, careful, gentle, Eden, wanna head out together, we're the same
02:53direction, as she talks, she pulls out her phone, the date glows across the screen, 2026,
03:01it's, it's 2026, she gives me a puzzled look, yeah, 26, why, what year did you think it was,
03:08like getting hit by a truck, I wasn't so close, son of a bitch, I time travel,
03:15the round faced girl's name is Bree Keller, I fish for information carefully, each answer sinks my
03:20heart a little deeper into ice water, in the conference room, that was the entire strategic
03:24planning division, Bree breaks the silence, Eden, I seriously admire you, and I hit someone,
03:31in front of all of them, for what, you slapped the CEO in front of the entire team,
03:35I've never been so terrified, and so thrilled, at the same time, cold sweat beads across my forehead,
03:43honestly, I've wanted to do that for months, my vision goes dark around the edges,
03:50Ethan Mercer, is the CEO, when he was with me, the guy was dead broke, drowning in his father's
03:55gambling debt, raising an underage sister, without me, he couldn't have paid tuition,
03:59and now he's the CEO, and I just slapped the CEO in front of every department head in the company,
04:06something clicks, back in the meeting, you called me Eden, you know who I am, Bree stares at me like
04:11I've lost my mind, you're his EA, she's looking at me like I'm a special kind of stupid,
04:17executive assistant, Ethan Mercer's executive assistant, that's why I admire you, you slapped
04:23your direct boss, at least there's one piece of good news, seven years later, I still live in the
04:29most expensive part of Manhattan, Upper East Side, penthouse, the moment I walk in, Mrs. Delaney
04:34takes my coat, and hands me a glass of water, different housekeeper from seven years ago,
04:38but that's normal enough after all this time, I sink into the couch, the living room's changed a bit
04:43from what I remember, but the overall vibe is still mine, if this apartment's still here,
04:47the family hasn't gone bankrupt, I pissed off Ethan today, worst case, I quit tomorrow,
04:52I drift off on the couch, in my dream, Ethan's body's still warm around me, he's rubbing ointment
04:57into my hand, the one that went red from hitting him, something knots in my chest, aftercare wasn't
05:02part of our deal, but at some point, he started doing it anyway, every time, checking my palms
05:07for swelling, for redness from striking too hard, I think he was afraid I'd let him go, without my
05:12money, he and his sister would have been on the street, debt collectors circling, my eyes dropped to
05:16the riding crop marks across his chest, I frown, I hit too hard this time, the moment my fingers
05:21touch his skin, Ethan's lashes, flutter, he turns toward me, and his lips land on mine, soft as a
05:26feather, light, barely there, it tickles, his eyes open, cold and steady,
05:33Eden, we had a deal, you get my body for this, you don't get all of me, oh, right, the
05:40kid had his
05:41boundaries, I can't remember which time it was, I was drunk, shoved him against the wall and kissed
05:46him, Ethan's eyes rim red, fury locks every muscle in his body tight, he grabs my chin, fingers white
05:54knuckled, Eden, I will never be with you, get that through your head, who wants to be with him, I
06:01pull
06:01my hand back, sheepish, then stop, wait, he leaned in first, a cold draft sweeps through, scattering the
06:07warmth from my palm, the dream dissolves with it, I open my eyes, half awake, and wander barefoot into
06:12the bedroom, directly across from the bed hangs a framed photo, half my height, I freeze, cold sweat
06:18breaks out everywhere, sleep vanishes, a man and a woman in the frame, him in a suit, effortlessly
06:24handsome, her in a wedding gown that pools on the floor, smiling like the sun, it's my wedding photo,
06:29mine and Ethan Mercer's, at the same moment, movement at the front door, Mrs. Delaney's voice
06:35drifts in, fragments at first, then clear, warm in a way she never sounds with me, Mr. Mercer,
06:41you're back, Mrs. Mercer's home already, she's in the bedroom, can I fix you something to eat?
06:48no, Ethan's voice, heavy with fatigue, I'll go check on her, I turn my head, slowly,
06:53stiffly, one degree at a time, his eyes meet mine, neither of us speaks, Ethan's cheek still
07:00seems to carry a red mark, I tuck my hand behind me, something uncomfortable twists in my chest,
07:07come here, do I need to say it again? every nerve in my body fires at once, voice like ice
07:13water,
07:14I flinch back, I hit him without permission, that was on me, in front of all those people,
07:18that kind of humiliation, it's like being stripped naked in public, I shuffle up to his chest,
07:23I'm sorry, plant my feet, Ethan extends his hand toward me in silence, don't move,
07:30but he catches my wrist in a sudden grip, he turns my hand over, examining my palm with care,
07:36good, no swelling, his voice sounds blunt as a blade, relieved, don't hate me, hate you,
07:44I could strangle you, I glance at my palm, still cradled in his fingers, he's rubbing it gently,
07:49then why, I don't know how to finish the sentence, feeling guilty, then kiss me,
07:55that'll make us even, I blink, the Ethan from seven years ago would never have said that,
08:00what? he used to look at me the way you look at trash, cold, always cold, only in those first
08:06few seconds after the riding crop landed, that's when something shifted in his eyes, something wet,
08:11something dazed, and underneath it, an emotion I could never name, there were moments I almost
08:17believed he liked it, when I hit him, the doorbell rings, Mrs. Delaney answers it, the therapist,
08:23Ethan hired for me has arrived, and as it happens, it's the same one who treated me before,
08:28Dr. Julian Vaughn, Dr. Julian Vaughn, used to be a senior psychiatrist at NYU Langone,
08:36Ethan found me during your first year of marriage, before that your family went through
08:40a crisis, your father's fund collapsed, the SEC got involved, our sessions were suspended for a long
08:47time, I almost laugh, my father's fund collapsed, that can't be right, if that were true, how am I
08:56still living here, Dr. Vaughn studies me for a few seconds, a trace of pity crosses his face,
09:01I push down the acid burning in my chest, after your father's case, this apartment when he misdialized,
09:07auctioned out in the bankruptcy proceedings, Ethan bought it back, so seven years later,
09:12this apartment doesn't belong to me anymore, it belongs to Ethan Mercer, I'm still here because
09:18he allows it, and listen to Dr. Vaughn continue, when I resumed your treatment, you were already
09:23married, you've been improving steadily, this sudden amnesia, I'll need to rework the entire plan,
09:31Dr. Vaughn, my voice cracks, can you tell me how my father is doing, hesitates for a few seconds,
09:36and opens his mouth to answer, Ethan pushes through the door, I watch Dr. Vaughn leave,
09:43helpless, no discussion, then comes the wave, I can't hold back, I jerk my head up, my heart slams
09:49once, I lunge forward to stop him, but Ethan pins me to the chair with one hand, raw choking frustration,
09:56let go, what gives you the right to stop me, what gives you the right to keep me from asking,
10:00because I'm the one paying for your treatment, Ethan pauses, without me, your father's debt would
10:05have buried you, you begged me to marry you, to protect you, I start shaking, have you forgotten
10:13what you looked like back then, burns through my whole body, peeling back everything ugly I've
10:19tried to hide, and my hand flies up almost on its own, Ethan catches my hand, can't stop hitting
10:23people can you, what right do you have to hit me now, a faint edge of mockery in his voice,
10:29rage floods
10:30my chest like a dam breaking, the sting is sharp, the urge to keep going, Ethan yanks my arm behind
10:35my back and locks it there, I can't hear a word, you need to learn to calm yourself down, bite
10:41his
10:41hand, full force, copper floods my tongue, his grip is steel, his hand spasms, he doesn't pull away,
10:48his jaw tightens and he grips my wrist harder, I pant through clenched teeth, for the first time in my
10:54life, I beg, is my father dead, I'm not sad, I forgot what sad feels like a long time ago,
11:00his eye
11:01twitches at the sting, Ethan looks down at me, his silence is the answer, your father couldn't handle
11:07the debt, he took his own life, I crumpled to the floor, without Ethan, I would have been the second
11:12one, he's right, what right do I have to hit him now, in my peripheral vision, I can barely hold
11:18my
11:18voice together, Ethan, I want a divorce, what did you just say, my voice goes quiet with them, a
11:26divorce, what's the reason this time, the hand at his side curls into a slow fist, whether you married
11:33me for revenge or out of pity, it sure as hell wasn't love, I've done you wrong, I know that,
11:39but
11:40it's been years, let it go, let me go, let yourself go, memories surface, the truth is, I liked Ethan,
11:48but we started so ugly, that I never dared hope he could feel anything for me, I told myself, once
11:54he graduates, once he doesn't need the money anymore, I'll let go, disappear from his life for
11:59good, nobody could have predicted that seven years later, everything would look like this, he says
12:05nothing for a long time, then he walks out and slams the door, that night, Ethan doesn't come home, the
12:11enormous apartment holds only me and Mrs. Delaney, Mrs. Delaney, shouldn't you be off by now, I
12:18should be, but when Mr. Mercer's not home, I stay, why? It's in my employment contract, if he's away, I
12:26stay with you, he just Venvo'd me overtime pay and told me to keep an eye on you, Mrs. Delaney
12:32started
12:32after we got married, thanks to her, I find a spreadsheet on Ethan's office computer, every debt
12:36he's repaid on my behalf, every dollar, logged and tracked, if I want a divorce, I need to pay him
12:41back
12:42first, only then are we even, the next day I go to work like normal, the moment I step into
12:47the
12:47conference room, every pair of eyes lands on me, complicated expressions all around, here's what
12:53you asked for, he takes the folder from me without expression, drops it on the table with a flat smack,
12:58he tugs at the collar of his turtleneck, revealing his sharp, cold eyes, I stand at his side, obedient,
13:04the meeting runs until noon, department heads file out one by one, Mr. Mercer, what would you like
13:09for lunch, Ethan ignores me, it used to be the other way around, he'd bring me food, after every
13:13session I'd even make him feed me, claiming my hand hurt too much, my turn now, I call Mrs. Delaney
13:19and ask what Ethan likes to eat, she rattles them off without thinking, truffle mac and cheese,
13:24lobster bisque, grilled salmon, those are all my favorites, yes, you eat first, he eats what you
13:32leave, I don't know what I'm feeling when I open DoorDash and order everything she listed,
13:37at checkout, Apple Pay pulls from Ethan's Amex Black, six-figure balance, my phone is the
13:42newest iPhone Pro Max, my bag is an unreleased Celine, this is the lifestyle I had before my
13:47family went under, I set the food on Ethan's desk, gently, he doesn't bother looking up,
13:53not hungry, it's all fresh, not leftovers, even less interesting now, seriously, I stare at him,
14:01what is his problem?
14:03Ethan does not believe in separating work from personal grudges, he's got anger stored up and
14:07he's freezing me out at the office, at this rate, I'll be fired, I find an empty corner and call
14:12for advice, Mrs. Delaney, Ethan won't even eat, how do I fix this? He's ignoring you? Honey,
14:18that's nothing, ignore him for a few days, he'll come crawling back, always does, what kind of marriage
14:24is this? But I'm the one who messed up, shouldn't I be the one doing the groveling? Well, if you
14:29don't
14:29want to wait it out, I do have one trick. One trick? Tell me, tell me now. Smack him again,
14:35dear, that always resets me. I'm speechless. One Christmas Eve, Mr. Mercer cooked an entire
14:40dinner himself, you didn't touch a bite, you swept it all off the table, he was devastated.
14:46When I came to clean up, he was sitting on the floor, crying, silently. Next time I came in,
14:52you two were back to normal. Just like that? The whip, dear, the whip fixes everything in this house.
15:00Excuse me? When the fight was at its worst, you went at him with the riding cup, I felt sorry
15:05for
15:05him, but then he grabbed your hand and kissed your palm, the hand you hit him with. I'm crouched in
15:11the corridor, I glance left, glance right, look ahead, look behind. When my head turns 45 degrees back,
15:18I see two long, straight legs. I tilt my head up, Ethan's eyes meet mine. On the phone,
15:26Mrs. Delaney is still going full throttle. The harder you hit him, the harder he kissed you.
15:31Lord, I had to leave the room, I'm too old for that kind of show. You've lost your memory,
15:36but I haven't. You got angry again, hit him with the other hand. He grabbed both your wrists and pinned
15:42you on the back. I silently hang up, a suffocating pause. Ethan cold and clipped.
15:46Go to internal Alidus. Get the planning report from the director.
15:50Okay. And tell the director of strategic planning to see me. His proposal has issues.
15:57Okay.
16:00Next time you bite me, use the left hand.
16:04Okay. Wait, what?
16:08Ethan stands with his hands in his pockets, perfectly straight, perfectly untouchable,
16:12that same glacial composure. Whatever he's thinking, he won't say.
16:17Ethan seems determined to ignore me. Looks exactly like seven years ago. Cold to the bone.
16:23Eden, I'll give you a ride on my motorcycle.
16:26Bree has something come up. Can't leave with me tonight. Genuine. Hard to say no to.
16:31Downstairs, Ryan's already straddling the bike in full riding gear.
16:35I reach for it, and a low horn sounds behind me. A black Bentley glides past like water.
16:40Roger. Roads are bad tonight. I'll take you home.
16:43Mr. Mercer, how'd you know I've always wanted to ride in a Bentley?
16:46Call yourself another one. Expense it.
16:49Ethan cuts him off, voice cool as marble.
16:52You, get in.
16:53The door shuts with a clean thud. Heat seals out the noise.
16:58I wasn't messing around. Ryan was just being nice.
17:01Don't flatter yourself. You want a divorce, right?
17:05Might as well audition replacements. I'm not petty enough to care.
17:08Ethan's tone barely registers emotion.
17:11Me? Petty? Please.
17:13His voice is level, but something sharp presses just beneath the surface.
17:16I don't know how to answer.
17:17I close my mouth. Silence all the way home. The car stops.
17:21Ethan's voice out of nowhere.
17:24One affair wasn't enough. Now you're starting a collection?
17:28I have an affair. The kind of affair that means cheating.
17:31Eden, what did I do wrong? What do I have to do to make you stop?
17:35Since we got married, I've let you hit me. I've given you everything you wanted.
17:40Why do you keep trying to leave? And on top of that...
17:43He seems to remember the amnesia. Takes a deep breath. His voice drains of energy.
17:47You've been seeing someone behind my back. You even brought him here. For six months.
17:51That's impossible!
17:52A bitter scoff.
17:55Your words, not mine.
17:57He's your first love.
17:59Better looking than me.
18:01Younger than me.
18:02I go still.
18:04After my father's fund collapsed, I married Ethan almost immediately.
18:07Before that, I was with him the whole time.
18:09I almost laughed.
18:11Since when do I have a first love?
18:13Ethan holds up his phone. Face tight.
18:15On the screen, a selfie.
18:16Me and some boy I've never seen, tangled up on a couch.
18:19Arms around each other.
18:20Way too close.
18:23You've tried to divorce me over him more times than I can count.
18:27That expression on his face, like a husband who just caught his wife cheating.
18:31So what if he's younger?
18:33Eden, have your fun, but let's be real.
18:34Can you take a hit like I can?
18:36I hold it in for a few seconds.
18:37Then I burst out laughing.
18:39Bear? That's my nephew. He's in high school.
18:41What is wrong with you?
18:42Your nephew?
18:43Ethan's dark pupils flash like a meteor streaking through them.
18:47He zooms in on the photo, comparing two similar faces.
18:50You lied to me.
18:51You didn't cheat.
18:52Something heavy settles in my chest.
18:54The laughter fades from my face without a sound.
18:57Yeah, why did the future version of me lie to him?
19:00A week later, I meet Dr. Vaughn in secret.
19:02There are things I need to know, starting with my father's death.
19:05Dr. Vaughn lets out a quiet sigh.
19:07Eden, I don't think you need to fixate on your father's death.
19:10Your memory stopped seven years ago.
19:11Everything before that, you should still have.
19:13Of course I do.
19:15Seven years ago was the moment I hated my father most.
19:18That was when I learned the truth about how my mother died.
19:21My mother loved my father.
19:22From the days when he had nothing to the days when he was worth hundreds of millions.
19:26She loved him the same.
19:27Even knowing he had hereditary bipolar, she married him.
19:30Had his child.
19:31A child who would almost certainly inherit it.
19:33She whispered in my ear that she was very sick.
19:35A very, very serious illness.
19:38She said, no cure.
19:40She told me I had to take care of myself.
19:41For years I believed her.
19:43Until I met Ethan.
19:44After one of our sessions, I was still buzzing.
19:46Why do you react like that every time I hit you?
19:48Don't tell me you're falling for me.
19:50Would you marry me if I asked?
19:51I will never forget what he said.
19:53Twenty-year-old Ethan, eyes full of cold contempt.
19:56Marry you.
19:57So I can watch you destroy me the way your father destroyed your mother?
20:00My mother's face floated up, that hollow, ruined smile.
20:03Her hand on my cheek, gentle.
20:05Her voice breaking.
20:07Eden, honey, mommy can't save your father, and she can't save herself.
20:11I hate my father.
20:13Hate him for knowing he was sick and refusing to get help.
20:16Hate him for knowing he'd hurt my mother and never letting her leave.
20:19Until he finally destroyed her.
20:21Hate him for bringing me into the world.
20:23Another broken thing, just like him.
20:25I push the chaos down.
20:27Dr. Vaughn, after my mother died, my father sent me to boarding school.
20:31We were never close.
20:33I suspect that's precisely why he sent you away.
20:36He was afraid of hurting you too.
20:38What father doesn't love his daughter?
20:40He was still my father.
20:42I have a right to know how he really died.
20:44My father's fund was massive.
20:46Ashford Capital didn't go down quietly.
20:48So why did he?
20:50Every article I found is about the financial scandal.
20:52Not a single one mentions how Richard Ashford actually died.
20:55Just one vague obituary.
20:57The color drains from Dr. Vaughn's face.
21:00Ethan lied to me.
21:02My father's death wasn't just a suicide.
21:05Dr. Vaughn picks up the stack and shakes his head.
21:07Eden, you really are something.
21:09Almost laughing.
21:10What?
21:11Ethan called me last night.
21:13He was happy.
21:14Said you were doing better.
21:16Said you still seemed to like him even without your memories.
21:18I pressed my lips together.
21:20If he knew what you've been up to, he'd be heartbroken.
21:22Say nothing.
21:23Since making up with Ethan, I've been acting like everything's fine.
21:26Eden, why do you think Ethan lied to you?
21:28Dr. Vaughn looks me dead in the eye.
21:29Something shifts in him like he's made a decision.
21:32I drop my gaze.
21:33He sighs.
21:33He speaks slowly.
21:35You don't think he was trying to hurt you, do you?
21:38He was protecting you.
21:40You'll recover your memories eventually.
21:43I don't want to keep lying to you.
21:44You and your father both have mental illness.
21:47Under extreme emotional stress, people like you are capable of crossing lines.
21:53You killed your father, Eden.
21:55A red fog floods my vision out of nowhere.
21:57Dr. Vaughn stares at me, face blank, and repeats.
22:00You killed your father.
22:02Your father destroyed your mother, and you killed him.
22:06People like you and your father, maybe the world was never built for you.
22:11I grip the edge of the table.
22:12Something buried deep in my skull is clawing its way out.
22:15Lines and fragments writhe and twist, fighting to surface.
22:19What the hell did you say to her?
22:21Have you lost your goddamn mind?
22:23Doing my job.
22:25Mr. Mercer, why do you think NYU Langone let me go?
22:28My methods are too aggressive.
22:30The mainstream doesn't approve.
22:32I feel like I've been asleep for a very long time.
22:35Seven years in a single dream.
22:37I didn't travel through time at all.
22:38I got sick.
22:39Lost seven years of memory by accident.
22:42Dr. Vaughn's brutal words ripped a crack in my brain.
22:45And through that crack, memories pour back.
22:48Some of them.
22:48Trust me.
22:48First, I didn't kill my father.
22:50After the fund collapsed, it was one wave after another.
22:53SEC investigations.
22:55Investor lawsuits.
22:56Debt collectors.
22:57The last time I saw him was in the old brownstone in Brooklyn Heights.
23:01My mother's room.
23:02The three of us lived there once.
23:03My father's voice was wrong.
23:06After my mother died, he'd never looked this worn, this old.
23:09I didn't give you a sound mind or a whole family.
23:11And now I can't even give you money.
23:14He wasn't a father I was close to.
23:16But I won't drag you down.
23:18I didn't blame you.
23:19All those years of privilege were enough.
23:21I had a job.
23:22Two hands, two feet.
23:24We could share the burden.
23:27Later, we replayed that moment over and over.
23:30It was that coldness from the person closest to him that sent him over the edge.
23:34Triggered another episode.
23:36Took the last of his reason.
23:37Late that night, he went back to Ashford Capital's corner office.
23:40Every financial record the company had was stored there.
23:43He destroyed what he could.
23:44Shredder, hard drives wiped clean.
23:46Then, in that same office, he overdosed.
23:48Swallowed an entire bottle of prescription pills and set a fire.
23:52The fire department put out the blaze.
23:54Most of the documents were already ash.
23:55Some things could never be traced again.
23:57The corporate legal team and the insurance company controlled the narrative, the official
24:01statement read.
24:02Richard Ashford passed away from cardiac arrest during the course of the investigation.
24:06Cause of death?
24:07Sealed.
24:08The media kept its spotlight on the financial scandal.
24:11Nobody cared how a fallen fund manager actually died.
24:14I didn't kill my father.
24:15But I was the thing that pushed him faster toward the edge.
24:18I ended the three-year arrangement with Ethan.
24:20His debts were long paid off.
24:22Aside from a small ache of not wanting to let go, it cost me nothing.
24:25I had nothing left.
24:27Even with most of the financial records destroyed, the remaining liabilities and personal guarantees
24:31were enough to suffocate me.
24:33Without Ethan, my emotions had no outlet.
24:35I realized I couldn't keep going.
24:38I was so tired.
24:40I wanted to die.
24:42The rooftop of the Ashford Capitol building.
24:44Ethan on his knees.
24:45Begging me.
24:46Controlled and falling apart at the same time.
24:48He never gave me a kind look.
24:50Not once.
24:51Every glance said he despised me.
24:53But the moment he saw me about to jump, something in him snapped.
24:57That shock.
24:58The sheer strangeness of his desperation is what stopped me from stepping off the edge.
25:02I stared as he took my hand in his, gentle and terrified.
25:06Eden.
25:07I'm here.
25:08You want to hit me?
25:08You can hit me.
25:09I won't charge you.
25:10Not now.
25:10Not ever.
25:11Just come down, please.
25:12Come down and hit me.
25:13Just...
25:13I have nothing left to give you.
25:15I don't need.
25:16Marry me.
25:16I'll take care of you.
25:17I'll pay off the debt.
25:18Please.
25:19If you die, I won't survive either.
25:22From somewhere far away, Dr. Vaughn's voice calls me back.
25:26Eden.
25:27My mind resurfaces.
25:29Dr. Vaughn watches my eyes.
25:30A small smile on his face.
25:32Some of it came back.
25:34Ethan hovers beside me, tense.
25:37How are you feeling?
25:38I look up at him.
25:39I'm fine.
25:40It's over.
25:40When you first married Ethan, you were in a very bad place.
25:43But he didn't give up.
25:45He found me.
25:46Over the years, you've made real progress.
25:47As for why the amnesia happened, that's not my story to tell.
25:50Ask your husband.
