He had always been the golden boy. Ever since they were kids, the same boy, pretending to be a surgeon. Always bragging about his life-saving accomplishments and his extensive knowledge. But when she had seen him working at a local pharmacy, handing out medications, the world around her seemed to tilt.

She turned and fled, the image of him, working behind the counter, seared into her memory.
