00:03:33i was in the audience back then they were upstairs i was below it even after i married carter
00:03:41i was still the invisible person in their story in the private dining room our classmates started cheering
00:03:47the party queen and the fraternity president are here still holding hands when are we getting invitations
00:03:56i thought i heard carter was married
00:04:00you must have heard wrong professor i'm not married not yet but soon
00:04:09i looked away and took a sip of wine it tasted bitter after a few rounds of drinks a fraternity
00:04:16member beside me lightly nodged my elbow chloe are you seeing anyone i always wanted to ask you out
00:04:20back in college i'm married i've been married for five years
00:04:30that was when i suddenly understood i had signed my own ticket to hell
00:04:41you're married to who
00:04:45her husband is a programmer at my company he probably has to work late tonight
00:04:48right that makes sense no offense but you and your sister were never on the same level
00:04:56chloe you should bring your husband out to meet us sometime
00:05:03sure when there's a chance
00:05:07i couldn't sit there any longer so i excused myself to the restroom
00:05:11i was about to go back when i turned and met carter's eyes he had followed me out
00:05:16clara likes the pink porsche you drove here give me the keys
00:05:19what about me it's pouring outside if you take the car how am i supposed to get back
00:05:25my car is with the driver for maintenance clara's in bad shape give her some space wait for an uber
00:05:31give since we were children i gave clara everything she wanted
00:05:36i gave and gave until i even gave away my husband i waited in the restaurant until closing but no
00:05:43uber
00:05:43accepted the ride it was past midnight when i finally hailed a car
00:05:48i had just gotten in when my phone buzzed it was a work message from carter the europe cloud
00:05:52architecture proposal is urgent go to the office and handle it i was still his executive assistant
00:05:58i told the driver to head to the office but one encrypted key needed for the project was in his
00:06:03study
00:06:03didn't answer my calls he didn't reply to my messages i had no choice but to go home
00:06:10no one answered the doorbell so i entered the passcode and pushed the door open
00:06:21why are you here didn't i tell you not to come back before claire recovers her memory
00:06:25if she finds out about us everything will be for nothing i took out my phone and held
00:06:30up the dozen missed calls in front him the project you told me to handle needs the key file
00:06:35you didn't answer a single call
00:06:39so helping clara recover her memory requires taking your clothes off
00:06:43my clothes got wet you've always been sensible don't make a fuss over something so small
00:06:49sensible so i deserve to swallow every grievance to wait all night in the rain for a ride to be
00:06:55called
00:06:55into work in the middle of the night to watch my husband hold another woman in his arms for the
00:07:00first
00:07:00time i felt that what i had exhausted on carter was not just my youth but myself i'll carry clara
00:07:05to
00:07:05the bedroom first go get the file from the study be quiet i stood there and watched him disappear down
00:07:17the hallway then i went into the study and got the key file but i was so tired i couldn't
00:07:24tolerate it

00:07:51my mother's call came right after why didn't you take the marriage certificate when you moved out
00:07:55you just can't stand to see your sister happy can't you apologize for once if anything happens
00:08:00to clara don't ever call me your mother again

00:59:48arm and begging me to give carter back to my sister it's only temporary once her memory comes back
00:59:56everything will go back to normal but he didn't know that the moment he nodded some things could never
01:00:01go back chloe you should move out for now claire can't handle any stimulation i'm bringing her here so

01:00:34ever
01:00:34given me for five years of marriage i wiped it clean every week so in his eyes it had been
01:00:40ready
01:00:40to throw away all along maybe it wasn't just the lamp he wanted to throw away i carried the lamp
01:00:45downstairs to the trash bins when i came back the designer had already arrived carter was giving
01:00:51instructions persian cashmere rugs egyptian long-steption cotton bedding
01:00:58he went into the study and tore down my sticky notes one by one crumpled them and tossed them into
01:01:05the trash clear out all the sticky notes you left your sister knows your handwriting don't make her
01:01:11overthink i stood in the entryway watching the home i had lived in for five years slowly turn into
01:01:16another woman's it wasn't that carter didn't have time he just didn't have time for me i turned to
01:01:20leave as i passed the study i caught sight of a half open drawer inside was a glimpse of gray
01:01:25blue yarn
01:01:26the scarf i had half knitted three years ago i thought he had thrown it away i reached out to
01:01:30pull the drawer open chloe why are you still here i didn't answer i picked up the bag that held
01:01:38only a
01:01:39few changes of clothes and walked out of the house that had once been mine

01:02:17home as a guest carter opened the door the therapist said familiar things could help clara recover
01:02:26i didn't respond a sour ache spread through my chest clara came downstairs linked her arm through
01:02:33carter's and smiled at me chloe you're still the same as in college always tagging along all right stop
