I stared at him, unflinching. "Yeah. I have."
I lost my mind the day I believed you, Carter.
Someone noticed the ring on my finger and let out a gasp.
"Serena, you're married to some other guy? And you're here making a scene?"
"She actually thinks Carter is her husband. That's hilarious."
"Does anyone know Serena's husband? Call him up, get him down here."
"Let him see how his wife throws herself at her ex-boyfriend at a class reunion..."
One of them even moved toward me, hands raised to shove me.
I smiled coldly and caught her wrist with pinpoint precision.
"My husband is dead."
"Would you like to meet him?"
"I'd be happy to send you underground to say hello."
The color drained from her face. She stumbled backward, shrinking away.
"They're right. You really are insane."
I slid the ring off my finger and looked at Carter, a bitter laugh escaping my lips.
Before the reunion, he'd been wearing the matching band. The exact same one.
At some point, he'd taken it off.
I held his gaze. "Even now, you're going to stand there and say nothing?"
"I don't have time for this!"
Carter cut me off, his voice sharp, his eyes darting anxiously to Mia's bleeding leg.
"Mia, I'm taking you to the hospital."
