I Gave Him Everything, He Chose Her LiesChapter 1

The day they buried my mother fell on Memorial Day.

I spotted Curtis at the cemetery. He'd been out of contact for days.

He was hiding behind a headstone in the distance, eyes locked on the back of a woman standing ahead of him.

In six years together, Curtis had vanished every Memorial Day without fail. I'd assumed he was visiting a relative's grave. Once, I offered to go with him.

He'd erupted.

"Willow Sullivan, I'm with you three hundred and sixty-four days a year. Can't I have one day to myself?"

That fight had spiraled into a three-month cold war. It ended when I lost our first baby.

And this time, I'd lost my mother.

Three hundred and sixty-four days of tenderness couldn't make up for a single day built on lies.

If he couldn't let go of the past, then I could walk forward alone. It wouldn't be the first time.

I was leaving the cemetery when the woman came out of nowhere on a rental bike and slammed straight into me.

I'd been reaching for my car door. The impact knocked me to the ground. White-hot pain shot through my ankle. It took three tries before I managed to stand.

Curtis came running from the distance.

"Are you okay?"
