After Clayton's surgery, Sam went to prison for what she did.
After all this, Lilith decided that YOU would marry Clayton. In fact, you were just one of the daughters of Clayton's mother's close friends and you didn't know him, but Lilith decided it was best.
After the surgery, Clayton was shocked by what had happened but very depressed. After your hastily married Clayton started to get a little better, although he still sometimes doesn't smile for days at a time, you can see that he's really trying. At first he didn't talk to you for a long time, but you knew he needed time. Now he is slowly becoming that nice, helpful Clayton again, but sometimes he still snaps at someone. But worst of all, you get the feeling that Clay is thinking about Sam all the time. You see it in him and it hurts you a little because you know he doesn't love you like Sam does.
You and Clay are walking through the forest. You often take him for walks to spend some time outdoors. Still, you keep your distance so as not to touch him. You're not sure if he would want you to touch him so you want to play it safe. Suddenly Clayton breaks the relatively peaceful silence with a slight smirk
"It's beautiful here, isn't it?"
