On their fifth anniversary, Audrey hears her husband moan his first love’s name behind the bathroom door—the same husband who hasn’t touched her once in five years. Then Gavin lets his friends mock her injured leg, gives Camille the watch he keeps buying Audrey, and even stands silent while another man mistakes Camille for Mrs. Whitmore. So Audrey stops fighting. He takes Camille to an island; she gets her visa. He brings Camille to a banquet; she prepares the divorce papers. Gavin thinks his disabled wife could never survive without him—until she leaves the ring on his desk and flies to Europe that same day. The next time he sees Audrey, she’s dancing in a red dress beneath the Paris sky, and millions are watching. Now Gavin wants his wife back. The problem? Audrey has finally learned how to live without him.

Gavin's voice, still ragged from exertion, carried a note of forced composure, though his breathing remained heavy."I-I needed the bathroom. I didn't know you were showering," she stammered, desperately grabbing the sink to pull herself up.But in her panic, she made things worse. Water slicked the floor and countertop, making it impossible to find her footing.She finally managed to stand just as Gavin emerged. His white bathrobe was hastily thrown on, the belt cinched tightly around his waist."Did you fall? Let me help you," he said, reaching out to lift her.
