"Claire, can you come over here for a minute?" The doctor called from the corner of his office. He was sitting there uncomfortably. Claire was at the opposite corner. His voice sounded so calm when he called her. She looked up from doing her little writing and glanced at him before noticing his index finger were reckoning her to come by. What?

She quickly went to his side to see what he got for her. Her faint smile causes the doctor's heart to ache somehow, he felt guilty just because of it.

"I want you to know something," he said. She nods her head and listen.

"What is it you wanted to tell me?"

"...this is about my leave." he continues. "I'll have to leave Mineral Town for a several years and go back to my homeland."

"..Looks like I can't ask you to stay here any longer, isn't it?" she said, sad, actually.

"I'm very sorry..." he spoke softly. "But I know one thing which can make you to put decisions on." he said.

"Decision? Me?" She spelled out. He let out a huge sigh and then breathe in loudly, collecting confidence before moving on. Then he spoke,

"I'm planning to marry you..and bring you along with me. Maybe then it's okay to go there?"

She blushed hearing his statement. No way...

"Claire," he resumes quickly, not giving the girl any time to imagine anything. He bends his body down to a little degree to match with her. "will you marry me?"

He had thought about this thing over weeks. Now is the perfect time to tell her how he felt in their relationship. The villagers already asking him about when will he settle down, so the first thing that comes in his mind was Claire. It wasn't Elli. He knew, he didn't love her after all.

The girl heard him now. "Marry...you?"

"Yes..." and he kissed her cheek. Claire was stiff and shocked, but she did nothing, either to push him, or pull him.

"I love you." he said after that. She only looked at him and not giving any reactions. "But..maybe you just didn't have anything to do with it." he sighs, disappointed upon her less-reaction play. "I'm sorry I called you just to tell you this today.."

She keeps staring, although she felt different about him after that.

"I was just-"

"Are you serious about that?" she ask then, looking directly into his dark eyes. He stopped.

"..I'm serious." he replied quickly. Finally seeing her reaction.

"Well...I never thought of you'd ask me this.." she paused.

"but.." she played with her thumb.

"Okay." and finally she smiles. The doctor? He jumped.

WEDDING DAY

"I now declare you, man and wife."

Trent walked towards her on the stage gladly to reveal her face from the veil on her head. He strokes her hair at the same time, mesmerizing the moment of his life getting married to his beloved person. Claire just smiles shyly, and suddenly she felt his warm big hand holding her face.

"Claire," he called her name softly. Those look on his face at that time, was the look she loves the most. She secretly likes him before this. "please return my favor this time." he smiled. She nods her head, and they finished the day's ceremony
