Suspended in Love
Grayson Harmon's childhood friend, Sophia Lexton, got into a car accident. She didn't just lose her memory—she came away with some post-traumatic stress disorder, too. That's what the doctors called it.
They said we had to keep her calm, avoid anything that might upset her. So, for the sake of her recovery, Grayson asked me not to argue with her. To let her have her way, no matter what.
She took my engagement necklace and moved into the little love nest Grayson and I had made our own.
And on our wedding day, she threatened to kill herself, forcing Grayson to take her to the hospital.
He looked at her bleeding out and said to me, calm as ever, "Brianna, I'll make it up to you after the wedding. I'll throw you an even grander one. Sophia is dying."
Then he picked her up and walked away, never once looking back.
If he had—just once—he might have seen something was wrong.
He might have seen the blood soaking into my wedding dress.
