Endurance
Shelly wakes in the blue predawn, alone, tangled in sheets that still smell like Michael’s skin and her own sweat. The apartment is too quiet, the old pipes humming, the bar below dead until noon.

Each step fueled by a mixture of rage and desperation that had been building since Michael walked away from her at the altar. The video—that damned video—had destroyed everything. Someone had sent it to Michael, and Abby had a pretty good idea who that someone was.
