Until the night of my accident, when he came to my rescue. In the midst of my confusion and pain, he was the first one to reassure me and hold my hand. Then he told me, When I heard you were hurt, I couldn’t breathe. All my excuses disappeared. I could have lost my chance with you... moreI thought I was firmly in the friend zone.

Not because he did anything wrong, but because I couldn’t bear the inevitable look of disdain on his face when he saw me.When I finally ventured into Sleepy Hollow—the new home of my ex—my best friend assured me I wouldn’t see him. “He’s working the night shift,” she promised, “so you won’t have to worry about seeing him tonight.”If circumstances had been normal, she probably would have been right.
