When His Love No Longer Mattered

Ever since Winona saw the unsent Instagram draft on River's phone, she stopped waiting up during his night shifts, stopped asking about the unfamiliar perfume on his clothes, and stopped questioning him about Clara. When acute gastroenteritis sends her to the emergency room alone, River is the hospital's youngest director, yet he carries Clara from the doorway and never returns to Winona's side. The caption on his unsent post said being by Clara's side felt like going back to the past.

Winona finally understands that River never truly let go of Clara, the professor's daughter he once dated. She accepts a three-year photography expedition to Africa and leaves a breakup note on the coffee table. Three months later, River tracks her down to the savannah, his eyes red, insisting she is the one he actually loves. Winona only smiles and tells him she no longer cares.
