When the lab caught fire, no one noticed me trapped in the compartment. I watched my husband Leonard Nash rush Jenna Lane, his childhood sweetheart, to safety. He never once looked back for me. Not even as he disappeared from sight. Lying there in the smoke, I remembered the day he lashed out at me, his voice sharp with disgust. "I regret ever meeting someone as scheming as you." So he never loved me. It was all just wishful thinking on my part. And just like he wanted, I died in that fire. Now he could finally be with Jenna out in the open. Later, when Leonard finally uncovered the truth, he clutched my ashes and broke down in tears, confessing how wrong he'd been.
