First of all, I'm so sorry for the delay of this video. I really thought it was going to be my first one of 2022 but I just wasn't happy with the progress on it around the holidays when I opened the project to finish it & decided I'll scrap it and start over... and then my mind just wasn't invested in it but I love this series and these two too much to push through and end up with something I'm not proud of, so I took time to fall back in love with the whole concept and truly feel it. And I'm proud of how this part turned out. In fact, it may be my favourite one so far.
Also, not the Valentine's day video I was going for at all but I can't think of a better ship to post on this day (and I really wanted to make a special one this year since I always plan and never finish a video in time).

STORY: Ellen is a musical child prodigy and a notorious violinist, who is left blind after a vicious attack and who struggles to adjust to her new life in complete darkness and this struggle affects her marriage. Benjamin is extremely supportive of her since day one of her recovery since he believes Ellen is his one true love and it pains him so see her hurting. But he has demons of his own, too, which occasionally cause the tension between them to rise as they both try to adjust to their new "normal".
Following a rough first couple on months, in a final attempt to save their marriage from falling apart like everything else, Benjamin takes Ellen to spend the weekend at their lake house in the city outskirts, which brings lots of memories of them walking in the woods, hiking near the shore and... his proposal. It all makes Ellen realize how lucky she is to have Benjamin in her life but also that while it may seem she's lost everything, she still loves him and he still loves her, so she decides she'll fight.
She begins therapy to overcome her trauma and accept her loss. Benjamin does so, too, to overcome his addiction but mostly to deal with his reoccuring nightmares and potential underlying guilt that he wasn't there when Ellen needed him the most.

P.S. I almost gave out a big spoiler in this part about the ending but I changed my mind and now there is a very subtle one, but I honestly love the whole concept of time and shifting between past, present and future in this part. Hope you enjoy it, too!
