On the day of the principal dancer selection, I lost my legs to save a little boy, and my career plummeted.

Growing more panicked, Asher bolted to the bedroom. The closet, once filled with Melody's clothes, was now eerily empty. Even her things on the vanity had vanished, leaving only a diamond ring on the nightstand.


It was the one he'd given Melody, engraved with Y&M.


Asher's mind went blank. Mrs. Winchester entered from the doorway, handing him the divorce papers from the table:
