My husband was driving his first love, Claire Bennett, to a seaside hotel when they got into a terrible crash. The doctors said he had lost all feeling from the chest down and would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair or hospital bed. Claire escaped with barely a scratch, yet sobbed as if she were the real victim. I stood in the ER hallway and laughed. Because just thirty minutes earlier, I had hired a lawyer and prepared to use proof of his affair to leave him with nothing. I never got the chance to use the evidence, and he ruined his own life first.
