In that moment, Clara realized that somehow Emmett had become the man she deeply loved. He was part of her, woven into her very being. Leaving him then would have been like losing half her life!
The phone rang twice before Emmett's deep voice answered.
"Who's this?"
Clara opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
How long had it been since she had heard his voice?
She'd been dying to hear his voice, to connect with him every single day. But then she had to break things off with him.
Emmett must've sensed something. He asked, "Clara? Is that you?"
"Yes..." Clara bit her lip, "It's me."
"Clara, where are you? Tell me, I'll come find you right now!"
"No need! I just heard you're looking for Elio." Clara clutched her chest, trying to sound firmer and hide her feelings from him.
"Of course I am! He took you away; how else am I going to find you?"
Clara closed her eyes, "Can you stop looking? We've eloped!"
