24:38wait for an uber
24:40give
24:40since we were children
24:42i gave clara everything she wanted
24:44i gave and gave
24:46until i even gave away my husband
24:48i waited in the restaurant until closing
24:50but no uber accepted the ride
24:52it was past midnight
24:54when i finally hailed a car
24:56i had just gotten in when my phone buzzed
24:58it was a work message from carter
25:00the europe cloud architecture proposal is urgent
25:02go to the office and handle it
25:04i was still his executive assistant
25:06i told the driver to head to the office
25:08but one encrypted key needed for the project was in his study
25:11didn't answer my calls
25:13he didn't reply to my messages
25:15i had no choice but to go home
25:19no one answered the doorbell
25:20so i entered the passcode and pushed the door open
25:30why are you here
25:31didn't i tell you not to come back before clara recovers her memory
25:34if she finds out about us everything will be for nothing
25:36i took out my phone and held up the dozen missed calls in front him
25:40the project you told me to handle needs the key file
25:43you didn't answer a single call
25:47so helping clara recover her memory requires taking your clothes off
25:52my clothes got wet
25:54you've always been sensible
25:55don't make a fuss over something so small
25:57sensible
25:58so i deserve to swallow every grievance
26:01to wait all night in the rain for a ride
26:03to be called into work in the middle of the night
26:05to watch my husband hold another woman in his arms
26:08for the first time i felt that what i had exhausted on carter
26:11was not just my youth but myself
26:12i'll carry clara to the bedroom first
26:15go get the file from the study
26:16be quiet
26:23i stood there and watched him disappear down the hallway
26:27then i went into the study and got the key file
26:30but i was so tired
26:31i couldn't tolerate it anymore
26:35so the first thing i printed at the printer wasn't the proposal
26:39it was my resignation letter
26:42near dawn i sent the real estate agent a second message
26:45have you settled the apartment
26:47i need to move in within the next two days
26:50at daybreak i rubbed my red sleepless eyes
26:53and was about to return to the hotel
26:56clara found our marriage certificate
26:58she's threatening to jump
26:59come back now
27:00my mother's call came right after
27:01why didn't you take the marriage certificate when you moved out
27:04you just can't stand to see your sister happy
27:06can't you apologize for once
27:08if anything happens to clara
27:09don't ever call me your mother again
27:18i wasn't even surprised anymore
27:20ever since we were children
27:22whenever clara was unhappy
27:24i was the one who got blamed
27:25i rushed to the community
27:27i had barely reached the police line
27:29when clara pointed at me and screamed
27:32how could you marry behind my back at city hall
27:36the two people i loved most betrayed me together
27:39clara the only person i've ever loved is you
27:50before i could even breathe a powerful force slammed into me
27:56i had just propped myself up
27:58i don't know someone like you
28:00i don't have a daughter like you
28:07my hands shook as i called 911
28:09then everything went black
28:13when i woke up i was lying in a hospital bed
28:16you were a little over six weeks pregnant
28:18you've just had a miscarriage
28:20we'll keep you under observation for an hour
28:24after observation ended
28:25i took my medication and slowly walked out
28:27in the second floor hallway
28:29i ran into carter
28:31your sister has been traumatized
28:33she can't see you right now
28:36my mother and i will take good care of her
28:38of course i knew
28:39and once again he proved to me
28:41that carter didn't love me at all
28:43if he cared even a little
28:44he wouldn't have missed how pale i looked
28:47i turned to leave
28:48but he grabbed my wrist
28:49there's something else i need to tell you
28:52let's get divorced
28:53my sister was injured and lost her memory
28:56she forgot everyone
28:57except my husband carter hayes
28:59she believed he was her boyfriend
29:01my mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway
29:04clutching my arm
29:05and begging me to give carter back to my sister
29:10it's only temporary
29:11once her memory comes back
29:13everything will go back to normal
29:14but he didn't know
29:15that the moment he nodded
29:16some things could never go back
29:19chloe you should move out for now
29:21clara can't handle any stimulation
29:24i'm bringing her here so i can take care of her
29:26it's not convenient for you to stay
29:29what if clara never gets her memory back
29:31are you planning to play along with her forever
29:34she's your sister
29:35she's in terrible shape right now
29:36just give her some space
29:40go pack don't take too much
29:41i'll have someone deal with the rest
29:42he walked into the living room
29:43and pointed at the tiffany lamp on the wall
29:45take that too
29:46clara doesn't like this style
29:47i'll buy you a new one another day
29:49that lamp was the first birthday gift
29:51he had ever given me
29:52for five years of marriage
29:53i wiped it clean every week
29:54so in his eyes
29:56it had been ready to throw away all along
29:58maybe it wasn't just the lamp
29:59he wanted to throw away
30:01i carried the lamp downstairs
30:03to the trash bins
30:03when i came back
30:05the designer had already arrived
30:07carter was giving instructions
30:09persian cashmere rugs
30:11egyptian longsteption cotton bedding
30:15he went into the study
30:16and tore down my sticky notes
30:18one by one
30:19crumpled them
30:20and tossed them into the trash
30:23clear out all the sticky notes you left
30:25your sister knows your handwriting
30:27don't make her overthink
30:28i stood in the entryway
30:30watching the home i had lived in for five years
30:32slowly turn into another woman's
30:34it wasn't that carter didn't have time
30:35he just didn't have time for me
30:36i turned to leave
30:37as i passed the study
30:39i caught sight of a half-open drawer
30:40inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn
30:42the scarf i had half-knitted three years ago
30:44i thought he had thrown it away
30:45i reached out to pull the drawer open
30:47chloe
30:49why are you still here
30:52i didn't answer
30:54i picked up the bag that held only a few changes of clothes
30:56and walked out of the house that had once been mine
31:03at the gate i texted a real estate agent
31:05i hadn't contacted in a long time
31:09find me an apartment downtown as soon as possible
31:11don't tell my husband
31:16when i checked into the marriott downtown

31:32that evening
31:33i returned to my own home as a guest
31:35carter opened the door
31:38the therapist said
31:40familiar things could help clara recover
31:42i didn't respond
31:44a sour ache spread through my chest
31:46clara came downstairs

45:09to be called into work in the middle of the night
45:11to watch my husband hold another woman in his arms

45:19i'll carry clara to the bedroom first
45:21go get the file from the study
45:23be quiet
45:30i stood there and watched him disappear down the hallway
45:33then i went into the study and got the key file
45:36but i was so tired
45:38i couldn't tolerate it anymore
45:41so the first thing i printed at the printer wasn't the proposal
45:45it was my resignation letter
45:48near dawn i sent the real estate agent a second message
45:52have you settled the apartment
45:53i need to move in within the next two days
45:57at daybreak i rubbed my red sleepless eyes
45:59and was about to return to the hotel
46:03clara found our marriage certificate
46:04she's threatening to jump
46:05come back now
46:06my mother's call came right after
46:08why didn't you take the marriage certificate when you moved out
46:10you just can't stand to see your sister happy
46:12can't you apologize for once
46:14if anything happens to clara
46:15don't ever call me your mother again
46:24i wasn't even surprised anymore
46:26ever since we were children
46:28whenever clara was unhappy
46:30i was the one who got blamed
46:32i rushed to the community
46:33i had barely reached the police line
46:35when clara pointed at me and screamed
46:38how could you marry behind my back at city hall
46:42the two people i loved most betrayed me together
46:45clara the only person i've ever loved is you
46:56before i could even breathe
46:58a powerful force slammed into me
47:02i had just propped myself up
47:04i don't know someone like you
47:07i don't have a daughter like you
47:14my hands shook as i called 911
47:16then everything went black
47:19when i woke up
47:20i was lying in a hospital bed
47:23you were a little over six weeks pregnant
47:25you've just had a miscarriage
47:26we'll keep you under observation for an hour
47:30after observation ended
47:31i took my medication and slowly walked out
47:34in the second floor hallway
47:35i ran into carter
47:38your sister has been traumatized
47:39she can't see you right now
47:43my mother and i will take good care of her
47:44of course i knew
47:46and once again
47:47he proved to me that carter didn't love me at all
47:49if he cared even a little
47:51he wouldn't have missed how pale i looked
47:53i turned to leave
47:54but he grabbed my wrist
47:56there's something else i need to tell you
47:58let's get divorced
47:59my sister was injured and lost her memory
48:02she forgot everyone
48:04except my husband carter hayes
48:05she believed he was her boyfriend
48:07my mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway
48:10clutching my arm
48:12and begging me to give carter back to my sister
48:16it's only temporary
48:18once her memory comes back
48:19everything will go back to normal
48:20but he didn't know
48:21that the moment he nodded
48:23some things could never go back
48:26chloe you should move out for now
48:27clara can't handle any stimulation
48:31i'm bringing her here so i can take care of her
48:33it's not convenient for you to stay
48:35what if clara never gets her memory back
48:37are you planning to play along with her forever
48:40she's your sister
48:41she's in terrible shape right now
48:43just give her some space
48:46go pack
48:47don't take too much
48:48i'll have someone deal with the rest
48:49he walked into the living room
48:50and pointed at the tiffany lamp on the wall
48:51take that too clara doesn't like this style
48:53i'll buy you a new one another day
48:55that lamp was the first birthday gift
48:57he had ever given me
48:58for five years of marriage
49:00i wiped it clean every week
49:01so in his eyes
49:02it had been ready to throw away all along
49:04maybe it wasn't just the lamp
49:06he wanted to throw away
49:07i carried the lamp downstairs
49:09to the trash bins
49:10when i came back
49:11the designer had already arrived
49:13carter was giving instructions
49:16persian cashmere rugs
49:18egyptian long-steption cotton bedding
49:21he went into the study
49:22and tore down my sticky notes
49:24one by one
49:26crumpled them
49:26and tossed them into the trash
49:30clear out all the sticky notes you left
49:32your sister knows your handwriting
49:33don't make her overthink
49:35i stood in the entryway
49:36watching the home i had lived in for five years
49:38slowly turn into another woman's
49:40it wasn't that carter didn't have time
49:41he just didn't have time for me
49:43i turned to leave
49:44as i passed the study
49:45i caught sight of a half-open drawer
49:47inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn
49:49the scarf i had half-knitted three years ago
49:51i thought he had thrown it away
49:52i reached out to pull the drawer open
49:53chloe
49:56why are you still here
49:58i didn't answer
50:00i picked up the bag that held only a few changes of clothes
50:03and walked out of the house that had once been mine
50:09at the gate i texted a real estate agent i hadn't contacted in a long time
50:15find me an apartment downtown as soon as possible
50:18don't tell my husband
50:23when i checked into the marriott downtown carter called
50:26there's a college reunion tonight
50:29our old professor will be there
50:31i'll take you and your sister
50:32clara's been recovering pretty well lately
50:35he hung up after that without the slightest concern for me
50:38that evening i returned to my own home as a guest
50:42carter opened the door
50:44the therapist said familiar things could help clara recover
50:49i didn't respond
50:50a sour ache spread through my chest
50:53clara came downstairs
50:55linked her arm through carter's
50:57and smiled at me
50:58chloe you're still the same as in college
51:02always tagging along
51:03all right
51:03stop teasing her
51:10stanford
51:10carter led clara across the main quad
51:15remember freshman year at the football game
51:16we were chosen as squad leaders
51:19we secretly held hands and someone posted the photo on the forum
51:22of course i remember
51:25and the spring formal
51:26we hosted it together
51:28chloe was there too right
51:30i was
51:32in the audience
51:33back then they were upstairs
51:35i was below it
51:37even after i married carter
51:39i was still the invisible person in their story
51:41in the private dining room
51:43our classmates started cheering
51:44the party queen and the fraternity president are here
51:47still holding hands
51:49when are we getting invitations
51:53i thought i heard carter was married
51:58you must have heard wrong professor
52:00i'm not married
52:02not yet
52:03but soon
52:06i looked away
52:07and took a sip of wine
52:09it tasted bitter
52:10after a few rounds of drinks
52:12a fraternity member beside me
52:14lightly nodged my elbow
52:15chloe are you seeing anyone
52:16i always wanted to ask you out back in college
52:21i'm married
52:23i've been married for five years

52:53chloe you should bring your husband out to meet us sometime

53:12he had followed me out
