One moment changed everything… but love refused to let go.

BETHANY’S APARTMENT – AFTERNOON

Sunlight fills the room. Birds chirp outside. Bethany cleans quietly — unaware fate is about to strike.

She trips. A sharp crack. Her head slams against the wall.

BETHANY: Ahhh!

THE FALL

Pain explodes through her arm. Stars blur her vision.

NEIGHBOR: Bethany! Are you okay?!

BETHANY: I… I don’t know…

Sirens approach.

HOSPITAL

DOCTOR: Your arm is fractured. You also have a concussion.

DOCTOR: We need to keep you under observation.

Bethany stares at the ceiling — scared, foggy, vulnerable.

LARRY’S CALL

Across the country, Larry reads the message.

TEXT: She’s in the hospital. You need to come.

LARRY: No… no…

A flight booked. No hesitation.

REUNION

Bethany lies pale in bed. Machines hum softly.

BETHANY: Larry…?

LARRY: I’m here. I’ve got you.

He holds her hand. She cries.

NOT ALONE

BETHANY: Do you think I’ll be okay?

LARRY: You will. I’m not going anywhere.

Days pass. Strength slowly returns.

BETHANY: Thank you… for coming.

LARRY: Always. I’ll always come for you.

She fell… but she didn’t fall alone.
