My stomach condition flared up again, leaving me stuck in bed and barely able to move. My husband, Thomas Hughes, said he'd come back and take me to the hospital, but he still hadn't shown up. After I finally got through to him, he sounded impatient, saying he was busy and couldn't leave right now. But I could clearly hear the sounds of an amusement park in the background, along with a cheerful woman's voice. "Thomas, hurry up. It's almost our turn." I recognized that voice instantly. It was Evelyn Summers, Thomas's first love. Thomas just brushed me off with a few words and hung up. If this had happened before, I would've called him back right away to get an explanation. But now, I just dialed for an ambulance. Once the pain finally eased up, I glanced at my phone and saw a job posting for a forensic assistant at the Central Police Department. Without hesitating, I sent off my application.
