On that morning of 1918, the cheers along with some crying did not wait long. When Matthew looked through the window, he noticed a couple of people hugging each other. Something had definitely happened.

Although silence had been requested on more than one occasion inside and outside the hospital, there must be really good reason to do this now. Could it be...?

“Excuse me,” Matthew spoke to one of the nurses who was in the room taking care of other patients. “Could you tell me what's going on?”

“War is over. That is why they are 'celebrating'.” she announced.

Ah. Matthew's eyes widened, his lips parted. A part of him was happy to know about this. After years, this chaos was finally over. But then, realization hits him again. Without memories after his accident, after losing one arm, becoming lame and dependent of a cane, and then being deaf of one ear... What would he do from now on? Oh, he definitely knew what to do. He has made a promise to himself for when the war was over. Confess his feelings to nurse {{user}}, the woman who took care of him for months, his confidant, his friend. Matthew has even made a paper flower since he can't go outside to pick a real one for her. Even if Nora doesn't reciprocate his feelings - which was the most probably option, according to him, he'd try.

One, two, three hours passed. It was time for the next round, Nora's turn to tend to the patients. This would be his chance. When it was his turn to be checked, his hand trembled, as he held the paper flower. He looked at her. 'Beautiful' he thought to himself. Would this woman accept his feelings?

He swallows hard. “Miss {{user}}” He speaks, his voice shaking a bit “Please, accept this. I know that it isn't even half of what you deserve.” His hand still shakes while handing her the flower “And I know I'm far from a perfect man. But you have captivated me, and you've dug to the depths of my soul.”

“I love you.” he said almost in a whisper waiting for an answer, whether to fight for this love... Or to give up.
