I had almost reached the parking lot when someone called my name.
I turned.
It was one of Marcus’s classmates, Daniel.
I had met him maybe four times. He was smart, quiet, and steady, the kind of person who always looked like he had slept eight hours even during medical school.
He took one look at my face and slowed.
“Are you okay?”
I laughed once, sharp and empty.
“My husband just handed me divorce papers at his graduation, so no.”
Daniel’s expression changed instantly.
“Don’t go home alone,” he said.
“What?”
“Please. There are things you need to know before you talk to him again.”
Something was very wrong.
I could feel it before he said another word.
Daniel glanced back toward the graduation crowd and lowered his voice.
“Hospital compliance contacted the residency program last week,” he said.
“About what?”
“Marcus’s aid records.”
My stomach tightened.
