JOSH

The call came just as I was leaving practice.

"Mr. Saunders?"

"Yeah, this is him." I balanced my duffel on my shoulder, pushing open the car door.

"This is Officer Ruiz with the Austin PD. We have a woman in custody, Vivien, who listed you as her emergency contact."

I stopped mid-motion, gripping the door frame. "What?"

"She was picked up outside a coffee shop after causing a scene. Barista called it in-said she was aggressively confronting a blonde woman, screaming at her." The officer

hesitated. "She's requesting that you come down to the station.'

I clenched my jaw so tight I thought my teeth might crack.

"What does she want from me?"

"She's insisting that you validate her story. That she's not crazy."

I scrubbed a hand down my face. "Jesus Christ."

The drive to the station was a blur of anger and disbelief. I knew Vivien was struggling, but this? It was unhinged. I had a bad feeling in my gut, one that only grew worse when they led me down a hallway toward the holding cells. 0.00%

"She's in here," the officer said, stopping in front of the cell.

Vivien was pacing. Back and forth, her arms folded tightly over her stomach. Her usually perfect raven hair was a mess, her makeup smudged like she had been crying for hours.

When I stepped inside, she froze. Her red-rimmed eyes snapped to mine, her face crumpling into desperate relief.

"Josh!" She lunged forward, stopping just short of the bars. "Tell them. Tell them I'm not crazy. That we love each other! That we're supposed to be a family!" Her voice cracked, her hands gripping the cold metal. I exhaled sharply, fighting the heat rising in my chest. "Vivien, what the hell is this?"

Her fingers curled tighter, her whole body shaking. "I worked so hard for us. Don't you see that?" Her voice grew frantic. "You just have to tell them, Josh! Tell them it's not made up! That I didn't make this up!" A thick silence stretched between us.

"What do you mean, you worked hard?" My voice was low, sharp.

Vivien started pacing again, her breaths erratic.

The officer beside me shifted uncomfortably, just as confused

as I was.

Then Vivien stopped.

She lifted her head, her dark eyes glistening with something unhinged.

"Don't you recognize me?" she whispered.

A chill slid down my spine.

"What?"

"I was there." A breathy laugh escaped her lips. "I was the nurse."
