'Here's Anne's diary.' smiled Clarisse and turned around.

'I can't believe it. Youfound it immediately…' Joseph was amazed.

'Of course I found it. I put it there…' smiled Clarisse but she was a bit hypnothized.

'How does it feel?' asked Joseph.

'Like… I can't explain it… maybe when you have the chance to get reply your past, your previous actions everything you did in your life… I feel now I get the chance to do something, change the History… I mean change the past… do something for them… I don't know what it is but I feel that I'll get my answer from this diary…' smiled Clarisse.

'I'm sure you'll find it.' smiled Joseph and kissed her forehead. 'And now we will leave you alone… You have to learn a lot from that diary…' said Joseph.

Everybody agreed with him and went out.

As the door closed Clarisse looked at the diary and smoothed it slowly. Theafternoon sun shined brightly through the window and filled the little room with light. Everything was peaceful and bright… Clarisse's never felt bigger peace in her whole life… She looked out of the window into the sun for a moment and smiled:

'I'm ready. Yes I'm ready for the journey to the past.'

OOOOOOOOOOO

Clarisse was awake thewhole night as was Joseph. Clarisse was reading the diary and Joseph waited for her in their bedroom.

It was early in the morning when Clarisse finally stepped inside.

'Oh Joseph. You haven't slept at all… You didn't have to…' started Clarisse but Joseph kissed her.

'I wanted to be awake when you came back. Are you all right?'

'Yes. I'm a bit tired but I won't bother with it now.' smiled Clarisse.

'Have you found what you're looking for?' asked Joseph.

'Yes. I've found it.' sighed Clarisse and sat down beside Joseph. 'Anne wanted to do something.'

'What was it?' asked Joseph softly.

'After Mihály killed himself, she was so desperate… she thought everything was her fault…and she writes in her diary several times that : If I could turn back time I would say YES, I would say yes… '

'So what's your idea?' asked Joseph and squeezed her hand gently.

'We can make her dream come true…' said Clarisse.

'Yes… I think so. Come! ' smiled Joseph and grabbed her hand.

OOOOOOO

They were half running as they arrived to the same place where he introduced Clarisse to the Balaton. The view was magical and the sun shined brightly.

'Are you ready?' asked Joseph with a smile.

'Yes I'm ready.' smiled Clarisse.

'Ok.' Joseph took a deep breath ' Anne. I think we had made the biggest mistake in our life. I gave up the fight…'

'And I didn't listen to my heart…' said Clarisse with tears in her eyes.

'Yes but now we got a second chance… So… Will you marry me?' asked Joseph.

'Yes. ' said Clarisse while tears gushed from her eyes. Joseph slowly stepped closer and hugged her.

A few moments later as they looked in each other's eyes they felt relief, indescribable relief.

'How are you feeling Honey?' asked Joseph with a smile.

'I'm fine. Perfectly fine. ' smiled Clarisse. 'And… no more nightmares. I know it's over.'

'And I've got back my wife. I'm so happy that we didn't make the same mistake as they did.'

'Me too. Now we remedy everything.' smiled Clarisse.

'Yes… Clarisse?'

'Hmm?'

'I want to tell you something…'

'Yes? What is it darling?'

'After you turned down my proposal… I… I wouldn't left you there in Genovia and I wouldn't killed myself… I've loved you too much.' said Joseph softly.

'Oh Joseph!' said Clarisse and started to cry. 'I love you so!'

Then Joseph kissed her slowly.

A few minutes later they started walking back to the castle hand in hand, the sun still shined brightly…

'I think that was an extraordinary honeymoon.' laughed Joseph. 'But I hope you love this country…'

'Oh yes. Hungary is beautiful, this is my new home.' smiled Clarisse. 'And you know what, I think I'll learn Hungarian…'

'Well I suppose that won't be so difficult for you!' laughed Joseph.
