A/N: Okay, a few quick notes. A LOT of people have been asking why Clarke doesn't just move to Toronto to be with Bellamy, and I wanted to address that. Clarke doesn't want to live in Toronto. All her friends are in Vancouver, she really likes living there. I know she could technically paint anywhere, but she has a good relationship with a gallery in Vancouver, and as a relatively new artist, she knows that's important as well. The timing for them was awkward because they had just started dating and it was already long distance, so it would have been really soon for Clarke to have to give up her whole life to move for his work. And since she wasn't willing to do that, she didn't think Bellamy should have to do that either. And that just kind of set the precedent for her not wanting either of them to make that sacrifice later on in the relationship either. Remember, she has abandonment/trust issues.
Also, I know this has been super angsty, and I'm really sorry if that wasn't what you were expecting. I don't even know how to write fics that aren't angst filled anymore, but aside from one major event coming up, the rest of the story is a lot more positive/happy. I hope you're all hanging in there, and that you're still enjoying this.
