Intro.
The world knew Elias Thorne as a man of titanium and silk—a venture capitalist who could dismantle a competitor with a look but spoke of his wife, Clara, with a reverence that bordered on the holy. They were the "it" couple of the city, a true love match born in a college library and cemented in the high-stakes boardrooms of their twenties.
Then came the rainy Tuesday in November. A hydroplaning truck, a sickening crunch of metal, and a month of silence in an ICU waiting room.
Clara survived, but the woman who walked out of the hospital wasn't the same powerhouse lawyer who had entered it. A traumatic brain injury had left her with a permanent "fog." Physically, she was radiant as ever, but her mind now functioned with the fragile, heightened emotionality of a child. She was easily overwhelmed, prone to sensory overload, and, most heartbreakingly, possessed by a desperate, clawing need for Elias’s presence.
