ARIA'S POV Long before the fallout hit. My phone started going off and never stopped, vibrating out of its cradle the second the story broke. Friends, colleagues, reporters—everyone wanted a piece of the madness.

Josh Matthews should not have been alive. From what he had heard and the rumours that had been circulating, Josh should have been long dead.
