Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Puzzled, Clara frowned. "What ten years? What are you talking about? Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

"Absolutely no," Horace said quietly, "I recognized you the minute I saw the picture. I'm one hundred percent sure that's you."

But Clara was still confused, so Horace continued to explain patiently, "Ten year ago, the suburb in Stratmont, think harder."

Sitting on his lap, Clara tried to recollect the memories before she finally remembered something and looked at him in shock, "That was you! You were the teenage boy!"

As it turned out, Clara had been already brought to the Middletons back then. It happened one day when Ashlee had gone to some summer camp, and Mr. and Ms. Middleton were at work.

She was alone at home, so she secretly put on Ashlee's red dress and went out to play.

No one would care about her anyway.

She was afraid to go downtown, so she went to a familiar suburb, where she came across a teenage boy with blood all over him.

That was Horace.

Never had seen anything like that before, she was terrified, but goaded by a sense of righteousness, her little body generated an infinite power.

Clara carried him all the way to a hospital.

It was then Clara accidentally tore Ashlee's dress.

Fearing that she would get caught wearing that clothe, Clara soon hurried home after she had left Horace at the hospital.

The dress was tainted with blood, which she hoped to get off by hand-washing it.

But she ended up tearing the dress. She stealthily put it back and had never talked about it to anyone.

As time went by, Clara had forgot about the incident all together.
