00:03Hands off him!
00:21What a pair of losers.
00:23Five years ago, I was 5'3 and weighed 176 pounds.
00:27Meanwhile, Ethan was 6'0 and weighed just 119 pounds.
00:30Next to each other, we looked like a bowling ball and a toothpick.
00:33Instead, Ethan's older brother, Adrian, was handsome and fit.
00:36I grew up with them.
00:37Later, I fell for Adrian.
00:39Claire!
00:43Ethan fell for my roommate, Vanessa.
00:45That summer, I overheard Adrian talking while he was playing basketball.
00:49I could never date a fat girl.
00:51What would I look like walking around with her?
00:54That same summer, Ethan overheard Vanessa talking
00:56to her best friend.
00:57I like guys who make me feel safe.
01:01If he is all skinny arms and legs,
01:04how am I supposed to rely on him?
01:08So that fall, two crazy people started showing up at the gym.
01:12Slow down, your body can't handle this.
01:14No, I have to lose the weight before he graduates.
01:21You need to take a break.
01:23No, I need to build some muscle before she graduates.
01:26We kept each other in check and snitched on each other.
01:29If he stayed up all night gaming, I would unplug his internet.
01:32If I stole a bite of fried chicken, he would take a picture and send it to my personal trainer.
01:38Five years, I went from 176 pounds to 98.
01:42And Ethan changed just as much.
01:43He went from looking like a toothpick to having broad shoulders, a strong back.
01:47Me and your brother are hitting the movies on Christmas Eve.
01:50We reshaped ourselves into the versions our crushes wanted us to be.
01:53Then came Christmas Eve.
01:55I waited for Adrian at the movie theater.
01:56He waited for Vanessa at the amusement park.
02:02Instead, we both saw their post saying they were together.
02:04Neither of them showed.
02:05I slowly let out a breath and was about to leave.
02:08Then Ethan called.
02:11Are you still at the movie theater?
02:13Yeah.
02:14Then stay there.
02:14I will buy tickets.
02:15We can watch the movie together.
02:17Okay.
02:20It was embarrassing, but at least I had someone to be embarrassed with.
02:24After the movie, Ethan walked me home.
02:26Claire, do you remember when we were kids and the three of us tried to climb a tree to get
02:30a bird's nest?
02:32My brother chickened out halfway up.
02:34You were the one who helped me climb the tree.
02:36I remember.
02:37We never even got the nest.
02:39You fell right on your butt and ripped a hole in your pants.
02:42Then your mom came after you when we got home.
02:44Yeah.
02:46Even back then, I thought you were way braver than my brother.
02:52Why did we spend five years loving them?
02:56Only to end up alone in the cold on Christmas Eve while they get to announce their relationship like they
03:00just won an award?
03:03Claire, are we idiots?
03:06Yeah, complete idiots.
03:14Still, at least...
03:16At least what?
03:19At least I am not the only idiot.
03:21So if you are hurting, do not keep it to yourself.
03:26Come find me.
03:27We're both a mess anyway.
03:29Neither of us gets to judge the other.
03:31Yeah.
03:37Happy Christmas, Claire!
03:40Happy Christmas, Ethan!
03:42This Christmas was anything but happy, yet I met those words with surprising sincerity.
03:47Claire, Adrian and I are together now.
03:49Are you mad at me?
03:52No.
03:53Who Vanilla chose to be with was her business, even if that person was Adrian.
03:57For all these years, I had treated her like my best friend.
04:00Whenever I was happy or excited about Adrian, I told her everything.
04:03But she had never once told me that she liked Adrian too.
04:06I kept wondering what she was thinking every time I told her about Adrian.
04:09Was she secretly laughing at me?
04:10Suddenly, she felt like a stranger to me.
04:18I'm sorry, Claire.
04:19I am so glad you are not mad at me.
04:21I just did not know how to tell you.
04:24Claire, do you want to get pizza on Main Street?
04:27No.
04:28I am a little tired tonight.
04:29I'm going to bed.
04:31I knew exactly what she was doing.
04:32I could never be friends with her again.
04:34I was the one who went after Vanessa and fell for her first.
04:38Claire, I hope you will not blame her.
04:40And do not take your anger out on her.
04:42So they had been together for a long time.
04:44Ethan and I had spent five pathetic years making clowns of ourselves.
04:48Disgusting.
04:48I did not reply.
04:50Instead, I sent Ethan screenshots of Vanessa and Adrian's messages.
04:53You got one too?
04:54A few minutes later, Ethan sent me a screenshot.
04:57It was from Vanessa.
04:58She was basically thanking him for loving her all these years.
05:00Then a crazy idea popped into my head.
05:02We often came up with the same crazy ideas since we were kids.
05:05You know.
05:06You know.
05:08You first.
05:13Why do we not just get together?
05:16We know each other inside and out.
05:21Fine.
05:24We have to get married before they do.
05:26Do not worry.
05:28Leave it to me.
05:29I never knew Ethan could work this fast.
05:32Early that morning, mom came banging on my door like the house was on fire.
05:35Claire, honey.
05:36Wash up and come downstairs.
05:38Hurry.
05:41Mom, what are you doing this?
05:43Your boyfriend is here to ask for your hand?
05:47What?
05:50There were familiar faces everywhere.
05:52I washed up, did my makeup, changed clothes, and rushed downstairs.
05:55Claire, come sit down.
05:57We brought coffee and breakfast for everyone.
05:59Grace, sorry we showed up so suddenly.
06:02Oh, please.
06:03What are you talking about?
06:04We have watched these two grow up together.
06:06If they want to get married, I could not be happier.
06:09You really move fast.
06:11I knew Adrian was not home.
06:13If I brought him here to ask for your hand, I was worried it would hurt you.
06:18Saturday works.
06:19It is supposed to be a lucky day for weddings.
06:21Perfect, then it is settled.
06:26Why are they in more of a hurry than we are?
06:29They're probably both afraid we will run off.
06:34These past few days, Ethan and I have been busy trying on wedding dresses,
06:38picking a venue, and sending out invitations.
06:40Meanwhile, Adrian and Vanessa had gone on a trip to Linton.
06:42They posted every day, and they looked ridiculously happy together.
06:46Adrian and I had planned to go to Linton for my birthday.
06:48I had even told Vanessa about it.
06:49The trip never happened.
06:50I never expected them to end up going together.
06:53What are you looking at?
06:59Here, let me.
07:00Ethan and Adrian were twins, but they were nothing alike.
07:03Adrian was arrogant and impatient.
07:05Do you want to go?
07:05Ethan was easy going and cheerful.
07:08Yeah, I wanted to go there long before they did.
07:13Okay, I get it.
07:16You two look absolutely perfect together.
07:20How about this one?
07:21Do you like it?
07:23It is nice, but it is just not quite there.
07:25It's missing just a little something.
07:27Have you found a wedding dress or suit you like?
07:31Actually, we are expecting a few new wedding dresses from overseas in a few days.
07:36Would you be willing to wait?
07:37I promise they are all stunning.
07:43Sure.
07:44A few days later, the new wedding dresses arrived.
07:47The store manager called us and asked us to come in for a fitting.
07:51Ethan suddenly had some work come up at the office.
07:53I told him he did not need to pick me up.
07:55I could go to the bridal short myself.
07:57I was just about to leave when Vanessa came toward me looking happier than ever.
08:00Claire, are you going somewhere?
08:04What are you doing here?
08:06Here, I brought you some local treats.
08:09How could she act like nothing happened and still pretend we're best friends?
08:13Claire, Linton really is just like the videos you sent me.
08:17The ocean goes on forever.
08:19Every picture came out amazing.
08:21Oh, by the way, how come you did not like any of my posts?
08:25We were standing right in front of each other.
08:27Yet somehow, she suddenly felt like a complete stranger.
08:33Claire, why are you wearing it on your ring finger?
08:36Take it off.
08:37And when did you get this diamond ring?
08:39It is gorgeous.
08:41Because we skipped the engagement,
08:43Ethan insisted on buying me the 10-quart diamond.
08:45He wanted to make it feel special.
08:47I know.
08:48Then why?
08:50I am getting married.
08:51What?
08:52The second she realized what she had just said, her face turned awkward.
08:55How?
08:57So, have you gotten over Adrian?
08:59She clearly thought there was no way I could have gotten over Adrian so quickly.
09:02Come on, Claire.
09:03Do not be mad.
09:04You said if you ever got married, you would make me your bridesmaid, remember?
09:11And your bridesmaid has not even met the groom yet.
09:14She was just that kind of person, enjoying the thrill of taking what belonged to someone else.
09:18The only thing I wanted to know was whether she had ever loved that idiot, Ethan.
09:20Sure.
09:22Really?
09:22Then let's go.
09:24Because Vanessa had held me up, Ethan got to the bridal store before I did.
09:27Why is Ethan here?
09:29Vanessa looked like she could not believe her eyes.
09:33We are getting married early next month.
09:35You're welcome to come.
09:40How is that possible?
09:41You, you, did you not love me?
09:45But the words got stuck in her throat.
09:47She could not say a thing.
09:48Ethan did not even look at her.
09:50He simply reached over and brushed a loose strand of hair away from my face.
09:54Vanessa, did you not just say you wanted to be my bridesmaid?
09:57Now you know who the groom is.
09:59Do you still want to be my bridesmaid?
10:01Just as the silence became unbearable, Vanessa's phone rang.
10:04Hello?
10:05Yeah, I am out right now.
10:06She grabbed it like a lifeline.
10:07Okay, I will be there.
10:09She hung up and forced a smile.
10:11Claire, I, I have something to take care of.
10:13I have to go.
10:13Your wedding dress is beautiful.
10:15She turned and walked away unsteadily.
10:16I had a feeling she was not leaving with a pretty expression.
10:19After she left, the bridal shop fell quiet again.
10:22Then I pointed to the spot where Vanessa had just been standing.
10:24See, even she knows what she did was wrong.
10:28No one can ever truly know what someone else is going through.
10:31Ethan simply took my hand into his palm.
10:33But you do not have to go through it alone anymore.
10:35From now on, you have someone to be a mess with.
10:38My nose stung.
10:39I said nothing.
10:40Just then, the door to the bridal shop opened again.
10:43And the person who walked in was none other than Adrian.
10:46Why are you here?
10:48Claire, you two are getting married?
10:50Why did I not know about this?
10:52Ethan, Claire does not know any better, but you should.
10:54You're getting married without even telling mom and dad?
10:56What are people going to say?
10:57Stop acting like children!
10:59Adrian, call mom and dad.
11:01Then he pulled out his phone.
11:03The moment the call connected, the expression on his face slowly fell apart.
11:06I could hear his mom and dad talking on the other end.
11:09Yes, we were getting married.
11:11This was not some childish stunt.
11:13We were serious.
11:14No one said a word.
11:15When did you buy that ring?
11:17Yesterday.
11:18Claire tried more than a dozen before she picked this one.
11:21She likes them big.
11:22The moment our eyes met, I finally understood.
11:26He did not love me.
11:27He was just used to being loved by me.
11:30He did not want me.
11:32He just could can't stand the thought of me no longer wanting him.
11:35It was like having a piece of candy in your hand.
11:37You never realize how sweet it is until someone takes it away.
11:40Then all you notice is the emptiness left behind.
11:43Too bad I was never his candy.
11:44I was Claire Hayes.
11:46I was a person, not someone's possession, not some prize to be won.
11:51Can you two leave now?
11:53The brothers exchanged an awkward look.
11:56Adrian turned and walked toward the door.
11:58Claire, are you really sure about this?
12:00I have been sure for 20 years.
12:02Is that enough?
12:03Ethan felt how tense I was and turned around.
12:05It is okay now.
12:07Have either of you found a wedding dress you like?
12:09I took a deep breath and pushed all those messy feelings aside.
12:12Then I looked at the five dresses in front of me.
12:14I want that one.
12:16I fell for the one in the middle at first sight.
12:18Go try it on.
12:20When I walked out in the dress, all the talking stopped.
12:23I saw Ethan's eyes light up.
12:24He walked over and slowly looked me over.
12:28Claire, you look beautiful.
12:31You two look amazing together and this dress looks like it was made for you.
12:35What do you think? Do you like it?
12:36You look beautiful in anything, but I like you even more in this one.
12:40The way your eyes light up when you look at it.
12:43The dress swept through the air.
12:45Then this is the one.
12:46He nodded, leaned close to my ear and whispered.
12:48It looks even better than I imagined.
12:52Behave.
12:54I am behaving.
12:57By the time we left the bridal shop, it was already dark.
13:00Claire, while you were trying on the dress, I was thinking about something.
13:04What?
13:07What if this were real?
13:10What do you mean?
13:11I mean us.
13:12Not getting together because we are angry.
13:14Not getting together to get back at them.
13:16Not pretending.
13:17Just you and me, actually being together.
13:20For real.
13:23I...
13:24I had no idea what to say.
13:25It was not that I did not want it.
13:26I was just scared.
13:28No rush.
13:29It took me five years just to get one look from Vanessa.
13:32I can wait for your answer.
13:34You are seriously comparing me to Vanessa?
13:36Never.
13:38You are one of a kind, Claire Hayes.
13:39No one even comes close to you.
13:41I rolled my eyes and kept walking.
13:43He caught up with me and slipped my hand back into his coat pocket.
13:46Ethan.
13:49Do you think we could end up like them too?
13:55No.
13:56How can you be so sure?
13:58Because I know what it feels like to be betrayed.
14:00I would never let anyone go through that again.
14:01Not even you.
14:04Did that Ethan boy drive you home?
14:06Yeah.
14:07He is a good guy.
14:09Much better than his brother.
14:11You had terrible taste when you were younger.
14:13At least you finally figured it out.
14:15Mom, are you my mother or Ethan's?
14:17Obviously yours.
14:19Otherwise, would I have let that boy fool you for all those years?
14:23I made you some soup.
14:24Go have a bowl.
14:25I sat at the table and drank the hot soup.
14:28The steam blurred my vision.
14:29I thought about when we were kids.
14:31Ethan used to ride me to school on his bike.
14:33The back seat hurt like hell.
14:35I would yell at him while holding tightly onto his shirt.
14:38I remembered rainy days when he would shove his only umbrella into my hands.
14:42He would get soaked from head to tail.
14:44And he would still insist he was not cold.
14:47I remembered the time a boy from the class next door picked on me.
14:51Ethan did not even think twice.
14:53He jumped right in and got into a fight with him.
14:56His nose was bleeding afterward.
14:58But he just grinned and said he was fine.
15:00All those years, my eyes were fixed on Adrian.
15:04I never once looked back at the person who had always been right behind me.
15:08The wedding day was getting closer.
15:10Both sets of parents had everything planned down to the last detail.
15:14That left Ethan and me with almost nothing to do.
15:18Let us take some wedding photos.
15:19Not the studio kind.
15:21I want to shoot them outdoors with natural light.
15:23Where?
15:25Linton.
15:27You have always wanted to go to Linton, right?
15:29To see the ocean, take some pictures, see the place from that video you sent Vanessa?
15:33I thought I would have to keep Sendai Dai buried forever.
15:36Okay.
15:37I never thought anyone would bring it up again.
15:39We took a four-hour train to Linton.
15:41The moment we stepped out of the station, the salty sea air hit my face.
15:44Come on, look over there.
15:46Is that the place from your video?
15:47The endless ocean was breathtakingly beautiful.
15:50Sunlight danced across the water.
15:52Our photographer was a middle-aged man with a full beard and a big easy-going smile.
15:57On the day of the shoot, I put on the wedding dress covered in tiny diamonds.
16:02Ethan wore a white suit.
16:04We took photos by the ocean.
16:05We took some on the rocky cliffs.
16:07Then we wandered through the old town for more.
16:09The photographer told us to just be ourselves.
16:12No forced poses.
16:13Groom, hold your bride's hand, just like you normally would.
16:16Ethan looked down at me and held out his hand.
16:18The moment I placed mine and his fingers closed around it.
16:22The photographer pressed the shutter.
16:23I could hear the waves crashing.
16:26I could hear the wind rushing over the rocks.
16:28I could hear a fishing boat's horn in the distance.
16:30One more.
16:33Groom, look at the bride.
16:35Bride, do not look at him.
16:37Okay, now look at the camera.
16:38I turned around and met Ethan's eyes.
16:41This one is great.
16:42So natural.
16:43So real.
16:45By the time we finished the last set of photos, the sun was already starting to set.
16:49Claire, let us come here every year.
16:54Okay.
16:55Even when we are old.
16:56When our hair turns gray, we will still come back.
16:59Why are you being so cheesy today?
17:01I mean it.
17:04Okay.
17:05The sea breeze was strong.
17:07It tangled my hair with his.
17:08He lowered his head and gently fixed my hair.
17:11His fingertips lightly brushed my earlobe.
17:13Your ears are so red.
17:15It is the wind.
17:16Is it?
17:17I did not answer.
17:18I just buried my face deeper into his chest.
17:21That night, we lay on the hotel balcony and looked at the stars.
17:25Do you think the stars are watching us too?
17:27Probably.
17:29They are probably wondering why these two idiots are still awake.
17:34Our laughter faded into the sea breeze and the sound of the waves.
17:37It became part of that quiet and beautiful night.
17:41After we came back from Linton, life went back to normal.
17:44But beneath the calm, something was still brewing.
17:46One afternoon, I was at my coffee shop tasting a new batch of beans.
17:49Ever since Ethan and I made things official, I had been putting more time into the shop.
17:53I had saved up for it myself and built it from the ground up.
17:56I picked the location.
17:57I handled the renovations.
17:59I chose the beans.
18:00I created the blends.
18:01I did it all myself.
18:03It was small and quiet, but it was mine.
18:06One of my employees, John, was practicing latte art behind the counter.
18:09When the bell above the door rang, he looked up.
18:11Welcome.
18:12I did not look up.
18:13I kept recording the tasting scores in my notebook.
18:15Claire.
18:15That voice made my pen stop.
18:17I looked up.
18:18Vanessa was standing at the door.
18:19She was wearing a brown coat with her hair curled and her makeup perfectly done.
18:22When she saw me looking at her, she smiled.
18:24Then she walked straight to the counter and sat down like nothing had happened.
18:27One latte, less sugar.
18:30Her eyes moved over my face and stopped on the diamond ring on my left hand.
18:34So you really are getting married?
18:36Yeah.
18:37Claire, I regret it.
18:39Regret what?
18:40I regret getting together with Adrian.
18:42He does not treat me the way he used to.
18:45Claire, Ethan does not love you.
18:46You will never be happy if you marry him.
18:48He has always loved me.
18:50You are just his second choice.
18:53I looked at her and suddenly found the whole thing ridiculous.
18:56She used to be my best friend.
18:58I told her everything.
19:00Every little thought I had about Adrian.
19:03Every time my heart raced.
19:05And now she was sitting right in front of me.
19:07She was using everything I once trusted her with against me.
19:11So what?
19:13You want me to give Ethan back to you?
19:14Are you serious?
19:16You are with Adrian.
19:19You know what?
19:21Ethan used to do all those things for me.
19:23Has he ever done them for you?
19:24Has he ever driven dozens of miles just to take you home?
19:27Has he ever gone out of his way to buy you pads when you were on your period?
19:30Has he ever gone out in the middle of the night just because you said you wanted cake?
19:32Has he ever gotten into a fight for you?
19:35Has he ever told you he likes you?
19:38I am only doing this for your own good.
19:40I do not want you to throw away your happiness just because you are mad at me.
19:46For my own good?
19:47What, you want both brothers?
19:49I don't.
19:50First, I live in North City.
19:52I do not need Ethan to drive dozens of miles just to take me home.
19:55Everything else you just mentioned?
19:56Second, he will do all of that for me too.
19:59Except the fighting.
20:00Third, Vanessa, you can list every single thing Ethan did for you so clearly
20:03because you know exactly how good he was to you.
20:05But you chose Adrian.
20:07You just cannot stand the idea of me being happy.
20:09You do not even love Adrian that much.
20:11You only got together with him because I loved him.
20:13You liked feeling superior.
20:15You liked winning.
20:15You liked taking something away from me.
20:18Did that feel good?
20:21You're talking nonsense.
20:24You know what?
20:25I found an old picture of us.
20:26The one from sports day.
20:27Do you remember it?
20:28You told me to bite the medal.
20:30Then you accidentally took the picture.
20:32But it was not really an accident, was it?
20:34In that picture, the way you and Adrian looked at each other,
20:36you might not have noticed it back then.
20:38But I see it now.
20:40You already liked him back then?
20:42Was it before I told you I liked Adrian?
20:44Or after?
20:45She did not answer.
20:46But I did not need an answer anymore.
20:48I really regret ever meeting you.
20:50I regret ever being your friend.
20:52Do not contact me again.
20:57Claire, just admit it.
20:58You are jealous of me.
20:59You are jealous that Ethan once loved me.
21:01And even Adrian, the man you were crazy about, loved me like crazy.
21:04You cannot get either of them.
21:11Feeling better now?
21:13Sorry about that.
21:14It is fine, boss.
21:15You did the right thing.
21:19Claire, how dare you treat me like this?
21:22Keep barking, and the next cup will be hot.
21:25She grabbed her purse and stormed out.
21:27Then everything went quiet again.
21:29Boss, are you okay?
21:30I'm fine.
21:31Put that iced Americano on my tab.
21:33That afternoon, I told Ethan what happened that morning.
21:36Are they seriously insane?
21:38They have to be.
21:39Vanessa has way too much free time lately.
21:42She keeps waiting outside my office every day and pretending we just ran into each other.
21:46I walk out of the parking garage and there she is, smiling like, what a coincidence.
21:50So I take a different exit and she is still there.
21:53I swear, I am starting to think she put a GPS tracker on me.
21:58And then there is my brother.
22:00He comes home looking all gloomy and keeps asking if we really do not want to be together.
22:05He thinks we're just being stubborn and trying to get back at them.
22:08I have explained it to him like 800 times and he still doesn't believe me.
22:12Last time, he even said, Ethan, Claire is your sister-in-law.
22:15I almost threw my fork at his face.
22:18Did you?
22:20No.
22:22I held myself back.
22:23Mom made my favorite steak.
22:25I was not going to let that jerk ruin my appetite.
22:28Stop being mad.
22:30Whatever they do has nothing to do with us anymore.
22:34You really threw an iced Americano at her today?
22:37Yeah.
22:38Did it make you feel better?
22:40Pretty much.
22:40It just felt like a waste of good coffee.
22:44Claire, if she comes after you again, tell me.
22:47I will deal with her.
22:49I can handle it myself.
22:51I know you can.
22:52But you do not have to handle everything alone.
22:57Got it, your majesty.
22:58What?
22:59Nothing.
23:01Talking to God is faith.
23:03God talking to you is insanity.
23:04What kind of joke is that?
23:06Nothing.
23:06I just think it fits you.
23:08Fits me how?
23:09Fits your brain.
23:10Ethan Bennett!
23:13Three days before the wedding, something happened that I never saw coming.
23:16That night, I had dinner and drinks with some old friends.
23:19I had a little too much to drink.
23:21By the time I got home, it was almost midnight.
23:23I was a little tipsy.
23:25I collapsed onto the couch and was just about to fall asleep.
23:29Suddenly, someone started pounding on my door.
23:32Not knocking, pounding.
23:34It sounded like someone was trying to break the door down.
23:38Most of the alcohol haze was gone.
23:40I walked barefoot to the door and looked through the peephole.
23:43It was Adrian.
23:44He was leaning against the doorframe.
23:46He was also clutching a liquor bottle.
23:49Claire, open the door.
23:50I know you are in there.
23:54Claire?
23:55Are you serious?
23:57You are really going to marry Ethan?
23:58Have you really thought this through?
24:00He loves Vanessa.
24:02You two will never be happy together.
24:04Claire, I do not want you to throw away your happiness just because you are angry with me.
24:07I do not want you to marry Ethan just to get back at me.
24:13I am serious.
24:15I am marrying Ethan.
24:16I have thought it through.
24:18Ethan treats me well.
24:19You two never wanted to take pictures with me.
24:21Whenever we went out, you always ruined the mood.
24:24You always complained about wherever I wanted to go.
24:26But Ethan always stood up for me.
24:28He is willing to take pictures with me.
24:30He never gets impatient with me.
24:33I...
24:34I can do that too.
24:36Claire, I mean it.
24:37I regret it.
24:38I did not realize how I felt before.
24:40But when I found out you were going to marry Ethan, my chest hurt.
24:43I was scared.
24:45I never imagined my life without you.
24:47I looked at him.
24:48I looked at him.
24:49This was the man I had loved with all my heart for years.
24:51But now, seeing him cry only made me sick.
24:54Because I finally saw him for who he was.
24:57He was not crying because he had lost me.
24:59He was crying because he had lost someone who had always been there.
25:03He did not regret losing me.
25:05I finally could not hold it in anymore.
25:07I bent over and threw up.
25:08Oh, that is disgusting.
25:13Oops.
25:13Sorry, bro.
25:16You know, you really should know better.
25:20Coming over to see your future sister-in-law in the middle of the night?
25:23If someone sees this, they might get the wrong idea.
25:25You are going to get Claire in trouble.
25:30Adrian, go home.
25:31You have work tomorrow.
25:32The doors closed.
25:33When we got back to the apartment, Ethan made me sit on the couch.
25:36Then he came back with a warm towel.
25:38He crouched before me, gently wiping my mouth and the stains on my clothes.
25:41When did you get here?
25:42I got here when you opened the door.
25:45How much did you hear?
25:46All of it.
25:47Then you...
25:48Hmm?
25:49Why were you not angry?
25:53Why would I be angry?
25:54He came to see me in the middle of the night and said all that crap.
25:57You were not angry?
25:59No, because I know you are not going anywhere with him.
26:04What is wrong?
26:05Are you crying?
26:06No.
26:07You are lying.
26:08Your nose is all red.
26:09That's because you made me mad.
26:11Okay, I made you mad.
26:12I'm sorry.
26:13I could not help laughing too.
26:14That night, he did not leave.
26:16He slept on the couch.
26:17I slept in the bedroom.
26:18As I walked through the living room, I saw him curled up on the tiny couch.
26:21I went back to the bedroom and brought out a blanket.
26:23I gently covered him with it.
26:25Claire, do not go.
26:27In the quiet of the night, my heartbeat sounded deafening.
26:30I crouched down and gently pressed my lips to his forehead.
26:33I am not going anywhere.
26:35Then I went back to the bedroom and closed the door.
26:38I leaned against it and put my hand over my heart.
26:40It was beating like crazy.
26:42So this was what it felt like to love someone.
26:45Three days before the wedding, my dress was finally ready.
26:49I put on the wedding dress covered in tiny diamonds and stood in front of the full-length mirror.
26:55Ethan stood beside me in a black suit and white shirt.
26:59We looked like the perfect couple.
27:01He bent down to straighten my train.
27:03Ethan, thank you.
27:09For what?
27:10For coming into my life.
27:15It was not me coming into your life.
27:17I was always there.
27:19You just never looked back.
27:22Do not cry.
27:24You will ruin the dress.
27:26Who is crying?
27:27I just got something in my eye.
27:29Inside?
27:30What kind of dust gets in your eyes indoors?
27:32Mind your own business.
27:33For a moment, everything felt warm.
27:34Almost too good to be real.
27:36And for the first time, I believed something.
27:38Some people really do find their way back to each other.
27:40Not because fate planned it, but because one person was willing to wait for the other to turn around.
