The First Wife
“Bailey opened her eyes. The light stung. Her head throbbed. It all came crashing back.
The hospital. Bits and pieces of conversations. Her husband.
She turned her head, wincing at how much that hurt. Her gaze settled on him. She said his name.

That wasn’t all. There was something else, but she couldn’t remember what.
Queasiness rolled over her, and he suddenly felt too close.MoreLess
