Curtis néver showed up.
Later, Curtis married Leanne. Suzan was filled with jealousy and regret, wishing she hadn’t lost her
temper with him that day.
So, she learned to keep her fiery temper and pride in check. Curtis was the type who responded better
to a soft touch rather than a hard push.
Then, at Devin’s birthday bash, Curtis dered that Suzan was the person he loved the most. When
Suzan heard about it, she couldn’t help but feel smug. No matter what, she was the special one.
But then Curtis moved to Stake City, just a stone’s throw from Brightwood University. Despite being
so close, he never once reached out to her.
If she took the initiative, nine times out of ten she wouldn’t even catch a glimpse of him unless Devin
and his crew were in town, or some well-connected family friends were visiting. Only then would Curtis
grace the gatherings with his presence.
She followed Curtis back home, waiting for his marriage with Leanne to crumble, hoping Jennifer would
y matchmaker. Suzan felt like she held all the cards.
But over thest six months, she watched helplessly as things spiraled beyond her control, her hopes
dashed by a man who seemed heartless, his rare affections bestowed upon Leanne.

Suzan couldn’t understand when or how Curtis fell for Leanne. What was so special about
Leanne?
When Leanne finished her shift at the hospital, Curtis’ car was waiting out front. Dressed in a charcoal
grey business suit with subtle pinstripes, the outfit softened his typically carefree swagger. Leaning
against the car door, he exuded an air of effortless sophistication.
As she emerged, Curtis straightened up. “Dr. Castillo, may I have the honor of driving you home
today?”
Leanne, arms crossed, waited for her ride, her hair pinned back neatly. She gave him a cold, sideways
nce. “No, you may not.”
Unfazed, Curtis shifted tactics. “Then I might just visit the kids. I do have visitation rights,
after all.”
It was absurd how he treated his cat like a child.
But since she was the one who first joked that the cat was her own, Leanne couldn’t very well use
him of being insane without implicating herself.

“If you want a cat, get your own. Stop mooching off mine.”
Curtis chuckled lightly. “Stingy, aren’t you? Do look like the kind of guy who likes cats?”
He dered confidently, “I’m just plotting excuses to see you.”
Leanne didn’t want to engage.
Curtis pulled a box from his car and handed it to her. “Here, you take this home then.”
Forced to ept, Leanne asked, “What is it?”
“Toys and treats for the cat,” he replied. While iming disdain for cats, he had clearly spared no
expense. “Make sure to tell her they’re from me.”
“Stop ying nice.”
As her car arrived, Leanne, the box in tow, turned and got in.
As spring turned to summer, the rains picked up.
The next morning was dreary with continuous drizzle. During rounds, Leanne met the new
caregiver.
udine, in a tone neither high nor low, informed Suzan, “Curtis sent this caregiver specifically to look
after Harrington. He’s very concerned about our family.”
It felt like udine kinda wanted Leanne to catch that.
Leanne showed no reaction, checked on Harrington’s condition, and left.
As evening approached and her shift neared its end, Curtis messaged her, “It’s raining. I’ming to
pick you up.”
Leanne nced at the message and ignored it.
Just before her shift ended, a nurse rushed up to her. “Dr. Castillo, the family of the patient in bed 17
says he’s in severe pain after his medication drop. They need you right away!”
Without dy, Leanne put down her phone and headed to the patient wards.
Turning the corner, she spotted Jeremy stepping out of a private room.
