Afraid of losing him, I gradually closed my mouth. “I knew you would win the championship. I've booked a restaurant to celebrate for Sharon. Let's all share in the joy.” As soon as John finished speaking, cheers erupted around us. The assistant's out-of-place voice interrupted the celebration. “Um... what about Sister Sharon?

•THEA• My heart was beating too fast as my mind went blank at the blinding lights advancing on us. The vehicle was definitely a huge truck and my life immediately started flashing before my eyes.

I feel a mix of nerves and excitement as I prepare to fake my own death, the weight of the deception bearing down on me.

Why did he have to break my heart like this? A sharp sound jolted me from my anguish right before the deafening impact of smashing into a trailer made my world—and body—spin out of control. My car somersaulted in the air before crashing back to the ground. My entire body burst into pain, and the taste of blood filled my mouth. As the darkness of unconsciousness encroached upon my vision, I cursed the day I met Colin, then made a silent vow to myself; if I were ever given a second chance, I would never allow myself to fall in love with Colin Rogers.

After sending it to her, he realized he needed to be there for her, she would totally break down if she listened to it. Nathan's heart pounded against his chest as he gripped the steering wheel, barely able to concentrate on the road.
