She Died While They Kissed

Summary

The night before our wedding, my fiancée—a rising star Colonel in the Army—was in bed with my sister’s boyfriend.

She was more than just a girlfriend; she was the woman my sister had treated like a soul-sister, the woman my parents had already welcomed into the family as a daughter.

The shock of that betrayal was a jagged blade. It sent my sister, Natalie, spiraling. She crashed her car that same night and never woke up.

My parents aged a decade in a single evening. I was hollowed out by grief, a ghost haunting my own life, looking for any way to join her.
