"I'm not letting you go, Mom. I can't just turn a blind eye, but I promise, I'll go to Switzerland with you. Even if you end up staying in a place like this for the rest of your life, I'll be right there by your side."
"I love you, Mom."
With that, Pax left.
His words left Claire with a heavy heart.
Most of the time, she was clear-headed.
She knew exactly what was happening.
Sometimes, she'd find herself thinking.
If Connor hadn't been around, maybe life wouldn't have been so hard.
Maybe she could've been a regular mom.
She knew Pax's rebellious streak was just a cry for her attention.
But truth be told, she hadn't spent much effort on Pax from the start.
Connor, on the other hand, drained all her energy, despite her loathing for him.
"Pax! Don't leave!"
"Let me out!"
"Pax, come back!"
But Pax didn't come back.
Claire sat on the sofa, alone.
Suddenly, she heard the lonely howl of the wind outside.
Then, a helicopter came into view.
Before long, her door swung open...
Meanwhile.
After leaving the Shaw family, Chloe made her way to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Outside, the maple trees stood tall.
Their golden leaves were sprinkled with a light dusting of snow.
The ground looked like a golden carpet.
The ceremony was magnificent.
