He Saved Her, So I Erased Him From My Life

Synopsis

When the truck slammed into us, Samuel Hartley's first instinct wasn't to reach for me in the passenger seat. He tore off his seatbelt, threw open his door, and carried Naomi Reed out of the back. The crushed door pinned me in place while blood ran down my forehead and into my eyes. He stood ten feet away, Naomi in his arms, and shouted. "Naomi, wake up!" I pushed through the pain and screamed his name. He glanced back at me. "Hold on, she's unconscious!" Right then, the pain drained out of me. I wasn't exaggerating. I learned something that night, which was that once my heart quit on someone completely, even pain showed up late.
