Chapter 8 - THE ACCIDENTRosa drove, her mind racing. She was going to leave the state, change her name again, and start over. Lily was quiet in the backseat, clutching Button, her eyes fixed on the window.

Suddenly, a black SUV swerved out from a side road, ramming into the side of their car. It was a calculated, brutal strike. The world spun. Metal screeched, glass shattered, and the last thing Rosa heard was Lily’s scream.

When she woke up, she was in a hospital room. The room was sterile, white, and suffocating. A doctor stood by the bed, his face grim.

"Where is she?" Rosa shrieked, sitting up, ignoring the IVs pulling at her arms. "Where is Lily?"

Ethan walked into the room. He looked like a man who had died and been resurrected. His clothes were stained with blood—not his.

"She's in surgery," he whispered, his voice cracking. "She’s going to be okay, Rosa. I promise."

The coffee had gone completely cold, but I didn't pour it out. I wrapped both hands around the heavy ceramic mug, feeling the chill sink straight into my palms. Thirty-two years. Thirty-two years of sleeping beside a man who had mastered the art of the long, slow lie.
