Madeline and Dr. Bennett had been dating for five years and were finally getting engaged. However, halfway through the party, Bennett abruptly left because of a phone call from his first love, Sharlene. Madeline initially thought he was going to perform emergency surgery, but then she saw photos online of him watching fireworks at the beach with his first love. She finally realized that the marriage she had waited five years for might never have been truly valued by him. So she canceled the wedding, sold her gallery, and went to Berlin alone to start a new career. Only after she left did he realize what he had truly lost.
