"I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since you came to New York," Claire said to Summer.

Right now, they were in Claire's storage room. Claire had asked Summer to help her to find some photos from her past that she was going to use as room decorations at her reception.

"So, what do you think about New York so far?" Claire continued. She smiled when she found a box full of photos when she was still in high school.

She took a seat on a chair and began to look at the photos one by one. Summer joined Claire, sitting on a chair next to Claire.

"I love it of course. It's really amazing," Summer answered and they giggled when they saw a silly photo of fetus Michael.

"I'm gonna show this to Mike later," Claire giggled and put the photo into her designer handbag.

The next photo was a photo of Calum and Claire. They were sitting on a bench. Calum had his arm slung over Claire's shoulders. Claire's eyes were on the camera, but not Calum. He was looking to Claire and he smiled.

"How about Calum?" Claire asked Summer again.

Summer scoffed while rolling her eyes. "There's only one word to describe him and that word is arsehole. God, he's such a pain in the ass," Summer groaned. "Does he have any kind of mood swing problem or something? I swear to God I never can predict his mood."

Claire looked at Summer weirdly before she laughed. "No, he doesn't have any mood swing problem. Calum normally would be a very playful person. Maybe he's still pissed about the airport tragedy," she said.

"But, I've said sorry to him. Why can't he just let it go?" Summer groaned again. Summer began to think that maybe Claire didn't know the other side of Calum.

Claire simply shrugged in response and gave her an apologetic smile. She looked at the next photo. It was a photo of her and Luke. Luke scooped Claire in bridal style. Claire had her arms around Luke's neck. It was a candid photo and it was taken near a pool.

"Aww, this is so cute," Summer gushed. "Please use this photo, Claire."

Claire chuckled in amusement and she put the photo into her handbag. The next photo was a photo of her, Michael and Calum. Michael and Claire were looking to the camera, but not Calum who stood beside Claire. He looked at Claire and he smiled to her. The next photo was a photo of them and Calum's eyes were still fixated on Claire with a smile on his face.

Summer had to admit that Calum looked really charming with his smile. After a few photos later, Summer finally found the similarity in all the photos of Calum. Whenever he was in a photo with Claire, he would always stand beside her and looked at her with a smile on his face. Summer's stomach churned. She knew exactly the expression in Calum's eyes and it was pretty clear.

Summer cleared her throat to grab Claire's attention. "Do you know who Calum's first love is?" Summer blurted out of curiosity.

Claire raised her eyebrows to Summer. She was surprised to hear that kind of question from Summer. Then her eyes gleamed with amusement, thinking that maybe Summer had some kind of feelings towards her best friend, Calum.

"Before I answer that question, let me ask you something," Claire said and Summer knew that it was a wrong move to ask Claire. "Why did you suddenly interested in Calum's love life?" Claire asked in amusement.

Summer shrugged one of her shoulders. "I'm just curious. He told me that he got his heart broken by his first love," Summer replied. Calum didn't exactly say those things to Summer but she knew exactly what Calum had felt that time because she had went through the same thing a few times.
