Nathan went searching for Camilla. He noticed her room door was closed. He knocked on it, hoping that she would answer. He knocked again, however she didn't open. He gently opened the door, and saw her lying by the window ledge, writing in a notebook.

"Can I come in?", he said with a gentle voice. She looked at him and nodded. He walked in and closed the door behind him.

"What are you doing", he said while walking to sit near her.

"I'm writing in this journal I found. I write stories to make me feel better", she responded. 

"Can you read me some?", he said with a soft voice, gently stroking her shoulder. She turned to him and nodded.

"I was wrong. I thought that I could smile and nod my way through it, pretend like it would all be okay. I had a plan, I wanted to change who I was, create a life with someone new. Without the past, without the pain. Someone alive. But it's not that easy. The bad things stay with you. They follow you. You can't escape them, as much as you want to. All you can do is be ready for the good, so when it comes, you invite it in. Because you need it. I need it".

She turned to him and his eyes were stuck looking at her emerald green eyes.

"Do you like it?". She questioned. He took her hand and responded, "Yes, I love it".

He took her hand and put it around his waist. He sat her on his lap and kissed her.
