Chapter 5

With everything in place the next morning, I went live.

I talked about how I paid off Hank’s debts, how we built RH’s Table together, our marriage, and his tragic passing on our wedding anniversary.

By the end, I was inconsolable, my face pale.

The public was touched by our love story.

[It has been ten years since my first love got sick and passed away. I’m still not over it. It hurts when I think about it. I understand how she feels.]

[I can’t imagine her pain. They had been through so much together, only for her to lose him at their best.]

[I’ve been to RH’s. The food and service were great. Her business needs our support more than ever.]

I started trending online alongside Hank, our tragic love story, and business venture.

Our past intimate interactions were uncovered and reposted online. Many dropped their condolences on Hank’s social media page.

Hank could not leave the house anymore.

He was constantly in hiding, too scared to be seen.
