You Left Me to Die, I'll Leave You to Cry

"In the split second when the research lab explodes, my boyfriend, Thomas Bastion, dashes to Melody Harper, who is standing furthest from the blast zone. He shields her from the impact with his own body. When the sounds of the explosion stop, the first thing he does is carry Melody to the hospital.I'm lying on the floor. My body is covered in fresh blood, but he doesn't spare a single glance at me.Thomas has taken care of Melody for the past 18 years. His heart is filled with nothing but her. There's no space for anyone else.I only survived because my colleagues rushed me to the hospital.When I am discharged from the ICU, I call my teacher, Louis Carpenter. Both my eyes are swollen from how much I've been crying."Mr. Carpenter, I've made up my mind. I'm willing to join you for the confidential research. It's fine if we have to leave in one month. I don't care that I'll be unable to contact anyone for the next five years."The wedding ceremony that I have been dreaming of is supposed to take place in a month's time. However, I no longer want to get married."
