The first time it was never meant to be. They were just too different. He was light while she was the dark. She was hatred while he was love. They were different in their ways to make magic legal that it was never going to work. He knew that there were many ways that they could have done things differently and most of them were on his part. He should have told her about his magic. It was his biggest regret. He knew what he had to do when the time came. He had to be the one to kill her. He placed his feelings to one side and killed the one he loved.

The second time he was too late. She was already married to some wealth business man when they met. He had become his assistant just so that he could get close to her. Soon enough, they started to spent a lot of time together. He had denied himself of her before and didn't again. They started an affair. He was sure it was meant to be then. All they had to do was to run away, elope for a better word. She was all up for it. They had picked a date. He had book train tickets for her with the money he had earnt. But she left him again, in a car crash, the day before they had planned to leave.

They say that it is third time lucky and it was for them. They met. She was single and wanted to see the world. He happily obligated to her want. He had saved up enough money over the years for her to be able to fund her dream. They travelled all over the world and became closer. They were standing at the top of the Empire State Building when he got down on one knee and proposed to her. He had hoped to do it at some point during their trip but there was just something wonderful about the way she looked out to the horizon that just made him do it there and then. She gave him a tearful smile before kissing him. It was their time and Merlin wasn't going to let it go.
