juliet makes her way down the hallways of dr. juno's office for the last, and final time. she has decided that it is a waste, for dr. juno to try to help her endlessly, though none of his treatment options have suceeded or shown any signs of helping. though one - the website. meeting tom. meeting tom was the only good thing she got out of going to therapy. perhaps he is all she ever needs.

"i think i love her," juliet hears calum say to dr. juno. juliet ducks into the room she was in on her previous visit and listens quietly to the session. "i think i love lavender."

lavender.

lavender, as in juliet.

calum loves her.

"calum, there's something we need to discuss. though i have another, of whom also needs to hear what i have to say." juliet hears the squeak of dr. juno's old desk chair and bolts back into the waiting room. "juliet?" dr. juno asks hopefully. juliet sighs in defeat and recognition and walks towards dr. juno. as she walks back to the room where calum is seated patiently, she can't help but get a little nervous.

she takes a seat on the love seat, next to calum. calum shakes his head and brings his knees up to his chest. "calum? calum, will you please listen?" dr. juno tries everything to get calum to calm down and pay attention. without another word, he looks over to juliet for her help. she nods solemnly and places a soft kiss on calum's head. he picks his head up slowly and looks at juliet, who has suddenly grown interested in the pattern on the carpeted floor. dr. juno is momentarily stunned by both juliet's action and calum's reaction before continuing to speak. "i have called you both in to discuss the website i have given to you," dr. juno sighs. "both lavender and tom, are non-existant. you both, have been talking with each other, telling each other your feelings. feelings may have been hurt, but you both confessed something. you both confessed that you love each other. now, aside from what happened, you should start off fresh. juliet, you should forgive calum, because you love him. i have created the website by myself, for this reason. did you believe that you were talking to a stranger, or did you suspect it all along?"

"i suspected it this morning," juliet says quietly. "tom called and left a message. and it sounded just like calum."

"how about you calum?" dr. juno looks to calum for his answer.

calum opens his mouth to speak, but instead, he sobs. he curls himself up and places his head on juliet's lap. juliet jumps a little, then quickly relaxes, as it is only calum. "i'm so-sorry, juliet. i l-love you. don't be m-mad at me."

"it's okay, cal," juliet says softly. "i'm not mad. just a little heart broken, is all. i love you too."
