At thirty-five weeks pregnant, I was trapped in a falling elevator with my husband and the woman he once loved. When rescuers opened a narrow exit, he lifted her out. Then, despite the firefighters' orders to stay with me, he climbed out after her, leaving me pinned beneath twisted metal. I told him I was bleeding and could no longer feel our baby move. He still stayed with her. By the time he finally reached the hospital, our daughter had already been born. He thought I would forgive him because I had always been strong enough to wait. It was not until my divorce lawyer entered the room that he realized I had stopped waiting for him.
