That didn’t seem like James Even if he’d fallen out of love with Sarah, he wasn’t the type to leave someone he felt responsible for alone and injured in the hospital

“I raced to the hospital and sat by her bed for days She was on a ventilator They wanted me to turn off her life support, but I just couldn’t She didn’t have any other family, and James wouldn’t come In the end, I made the only decision I could”

“Oh, Sloan” How terrible that er stirred How could James have left Sloan to deal with that? But, then, she hadn’t been there and she hadn’t heard Jaed hi onto his control by a thread

“James tried to offer to help me But, at that point, I was so furious with hieot to the house we’d shared, the h the front door, I was ready to kick his ass I couldn’t believe he’d turned his back on her”

“What did he say?”

“The bastard walked out of his study with a glass of scotch in one hand, looking like he hadn’t slept in days I saw red I pushed him back into his study, broke his nose with one punch, followed it up with a savage knee to the gut He just took it When I realized he wouldn’t fight back, I stopped I asked him why he’d abandoned her? I screamed at him that she was ours, and he should have been there for her”

“What did he say?”

“That he would have been there in a flash for me, but not for her”

She sucked in a breath

“He told me that she’d betrayed us both”

“How?”

“I don’t know They’d gotten into a fight, and she’d been so upset she’d packed a suitcase and left She’d been so distraught, she took a corner too fast in the dark and flipped her car It was his fault she died I left I only went back later, when he wasn’t there, to get my stuff”

“You haven’t seen him since?”

“No”

Jesus, what a mess
