Prologue

Zoe

They sayit’s not the fall that will kill you. It’s the sudden stop at the end. Having fallen for an absolute bastard I’m not so sure that the saying applies to love. In my case it was the sudden end that savedmylife.

Some people are bad. Some people are bad together. And then there are people who are just completely toxic. I have no doubt that another day with Tony would havekilledme.

I thought love was supposed to becomplicated.

Hard.

That’s what my parents always said. “Marriage is work. It’s hard to spend your life with another person but in the end it’s worth it.” It took me a long time to realize what it was I had gotten so wrong. Love isn’t complicatedatall.

It’ssimple.

Incredibly simple,actually.

It’s the people that arecomplicated.

But I didn’t understand any of that until ImetErik.
