I Died While You Saved Him

Summary

The first thing I did when I was given a second chance at life was purge the past. I spent the morning incinerating the physical remnants of a decade’s worth of lies.

Nancy’s letters—three years’ worth of carefully scripted "devotion"—were fed into the shredder until they were nothing but confetti. The framed photos of Diana and me? I set them ablaze in the fireplace, watching the edges of our smiling faces curl and blacken into ash.

In my previous life, I had been the quintessential fool, a supporting character in a drama where I wasn't even credited in the playbill.
