As she said this, she noticed the injury on Clark. No doubt, he had gotten it for Carol, hadn't he? She felt her tears welling up. She had planned to give him one last embrace before leaving, but the silhouette at the upstairs window made her suppress her final impulse and whimsy.

“Crystal.” Clark wanted to say sorry, but deep down, he knew that wasn't what she needed.
Without halting her steps or looking back, Crystal waved her hand high, bidding farewell to the person behind her and elegantly leaving Mystic Oak House.
Once she got into the car, she maintained her smile. “Drive." The chauffeur, seeing her smiling through her tears, was completely baffled.

Carol stood by the window on the second floor, watching Clark as he engrossed himself in the notebook, her eyes darkening a bit.
After stime, Clark entered the house to wake Carol up, the notebook nowhere in sight.
