The Bride Who Vanished Before the Proposal

The moment I decided to leave Vincent Graves, I did three things.

First, I recalled the pregnancy report I had been about to forward to him and replaced it with a scheduled breakup message.

Second, I called the bridal boutique and cancelled the custom order for my wedding dress. I had been measured three times for it. I had waited five months. I never wore it. I never would.

Third, I called Dr. Helena Shaw and accepted the invitation I had turned down a week ago. An eight-year medical research program. Completely sealed. No contact with the outside world.
