In her solitary life she eats alone and daydreams about having a handsome boyfriend who could accept all of her. Daily she finds herself running to catch her bus and knowing that she is the laughing stock of the other commuters. And then one day she literally finds herself ‘falling’ into the lap of one of the commuters; an exotically handsome white man. Tory finds that she is unable to stop thinking about him and daydreaming about the life he must live. But Mr. Gorgeous must be either married or gay because she sees him dismissing the attention of gorgeous women left and right. Never in a million years would she ever guess that hers was the only attention he was interested in… In this multicultural romance, Pepper Pace weaves a story that takes her readers through the ups and downs of personal insecurities, cultural differences, and of course a lesson to be learned; that love is totally and completely blind.

Chapter 33 : TRUTH?

Tory searched the nurse's eyes. They had to tell the truth, didn't they? They were under a Hippocratic Oath just like a doctor. So even if she was telling the truth, Tory wasn't sure if she felt relieved or horrified. He was alive and for that she was thankful. But he was in a coma trying to heal a swollen brain. His arms were broken; he needed arms and hands to see with. She closed her eyes in distress and felt her mother squeezing her hand.

"Baby, I went in to visit him and he looked very good. He's swollen, black and blue but he looked very healthy…unlike you. You have to take care of yourself, Tory. You almost died." Her mother looked at the nurse who continued for her.

"You couldn't get enough oxygen to your heart. And you have a broken rib, which can't be taped because it will further restrict your breathing. You literally cannot get up for at least another week."

"Another week?" She said hoarsely. "How long have we been here?"
