A black Bentley pulled silently to a stop outside the hospital.
Adrian got out and opened the door for me.
He didn't ask why I'd been crying. He simply handed me a clean handkerchief.
"What did the doctor say?"
"I've recovered well."
"Look at me and say that again."
I slowly lifted my head. The moment our eyes met, every bit of composure I'd been forcing myself to hold together shattered.
"I can never dance again. The money three years ago... Selena lied to me. Grant thought I'd taken the money and left him. I thought he'd simply fallen out of love with me. If we'd just talked to each other that day, I never would've run out into the rain. I never would've fallen down those stairs."
I continued, "My leg. My career. The best years of my life. They were all destroyed by one lie."
