Waiting in the Wings

Benjamin was her first love, but she walked away, fell in love with Henry and married him. 20 years of mental abuse, of fighting for financial independency and protecting her heart and soul, followed. Until the day she has to take Henry into the emergency room with a hernia, his stubbornness and carelessness with his body, costing him his life. After the shock wears off, Sara calls family and her children with the news, then she calls the only person she had openly talked to, and shared her heart with over the years, Benjamin. That's when she realizes what terrible damage she has done, how she had given Benjamin hope that she could still love him, want to be with him, and get back together if there would ever be a way. Scared by the idea alone, she cuts all ties to the only friend she has left in the world. Luckily Benjamin doesn't give up that easy and moves into the apartment beside her, ready to fight for their love. He didn't expect to have to fight for her life as well.
