Forced into silence for twenty years, I was pushed off Mount Everest by Gerry's beloved. With my last breath, I called him, "Save me." After a pause, he erupted, "What lie are you cooking up to frame Megan now? I won't fall for it again. If you're dying, I'll cheer." Everyone thought I died that day. Since then, at midnight, my phone gets the same text. "Diana, I'm sorry. I miss you. Are you okay over there?" Three years later, I returned from abroad, successful, for a industry talk. At the talk, I saw Gerry again.
