Five years ago, Nicky's husband died unexpectedly, leaving behind a terrified Nicky, who wakes up from a dream every night, feeling like her husband is still by her side. On this day, Nicky came to the museum where her husband worked while he was alive. At this time, Nicky met Tom, and Tom looked exactly like his late husband.
Tom was an artist who taught students to draw at a university, and Tom and his ex-wife were separated for 10 years until later. Tom fell in love with Nicky, Tom still kept in touch with his ex-wife, and his ex-wife also said to Tom at this time, congratulations, you are finally fat to this day, maybe I feel a little guilty about leaving Tom at that time.
Nikki, found a replacement for her deceased husband. On the surface, he told his neighbor Roger that he had forgotten, but in fact Nicky did go to the museum, parking lot, school, frantically looking for Tom's whereabouts. But when I saw Tom several times, I was either speechless or excited. Maybe because of these actions, Tom seems to like Nicky. On the grounds that he wanted to learn how to draw, Nikki made an appointment with Tom to teach him how to draw at home. Koniki's heart is not on the painting at all. Slowly, Nicky agreed to Tom's confession, and Nicky would also take Tom to the place where her husband went to find memories. But there is no airtight mirror in the world. When the daughter returned home in the summer, she found that her mother was in love with a person who looked like her father. The daughter had a complete mental breakdown and drove Tom away with a roar.
Nicky also knew that he couldn't hide it from Tom all the time. After all, paper couldn't contain fire. He asked Tom to go to the beach where her husband died, trying to find and create new memories. But at this moment, Tom accidentally found the photo of Nicky and Garrett on the photo wall at the bar. After knowing the truth, Tom did not leave Nicky, and Nicky rushed into the waves like crazy, trying to end his life. After Tom took Nicky out of the sea, Nicky, who lost his mind, completely regarded Tom as Garrett and complained about why he did that at the time. The heartbroken Tom also pretends to be Garrett to comfort Nicky at this time, and tells Nicky that he has been by her side.
Back home, Tom and Nicky cut off contact, Nicky chose the proposal of neighbor Roger, and Tom, who suffered from heart disease, died after completing his posthumous work. It was not until later when Nicky was invited to participate in the exhibition of Tom's works that he learned that Tom had passed away and saw the famous work "The Appearance of Love" that Tom made for himself.
