Prologue:
I seesawed through unconsciousness. My dreams were only the sharp daggers of pain and the erratic breathing coming through my lungs. The car had hit me with such force, I was sure I had broken every single bone a human body could ever possess.
The darkness in my head enveloped me again, the pain returning so hard, my mind screamed in anguish. It wasn't only the physical pain that hurt me, it was the stabbing emotional pain that tore at my heart. I was in agony, I lost him. I had to have lost him.
The pain flared again, this time worse than every before, and I knew for sure that I had screamed out. I thrashed, the pain worse. Then I heard a sound, a bitter-sweet sound. The sound I thought I would never hear again: his voice.
As I drifted in the dark sea of pain and hurt, I thought of how this all happened. It started the weekend I went to my sister in law’s house. It would be the second time I had seen him, but I didn’t know I would end up here, floating in dark pain.
