\u201cAutumn, what are you gonna do now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rebecca was worried that Autumn might fall apart after leaving Zachary. After all, she\u2019d the last three years making him her entire world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
spent\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn let out a bitter laugh. \u201cHonestly? I have no idea.\u201d She\u2019d actually gotten accepted to a dance company overseas, but she\u2019d turned it down to take care of Zachary instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It had been three years since Autumn last danced, and her body wasn\u2019t what it used to be after the miscarriage. She wanted to reclaim that dream of shining on stage again, but she couldn\u2019t find the confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca noticed Autumn\u2019s hesitation and squeezed her hand. \u201cAutumn, whatever you wanna do, I\u2019m behind you a hundred percent. You\u2019re still so young, and you\u2019ve got plenty of chances to figure things out. Just take that first step, and I know you\u2019ll find what you\u2019re meant to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn paused for a moment, and the uncertainty on her face slowly shifted into determination. \u201cYou\u2019re right, Rebecca: I\u2019m still young, and anything\u2019s possible.\u201d A small smile tugged at her lips. \u201cI wanna keep dancing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca visibly relaxed now that Autumn had made up her mind. \u201cDamon knows some really talented dance instructors. I\u2019ll have him introduce you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe it was the change of scenery, but Autumn woke up early the next morning. She stared out the window at the unfamiliar view and felt like none of this was real.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just yesterday at this time, she\u2019d been at the Courthouse getting her divorce papers, and now she was already hundreds of miles away in a different city, starting a whole new life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Around noon, Damon called her. \u201cAutumn, you up? Rebecca asked me to show you around the area, and we can grab lunch together after.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Autumn came downstairs, Damon was already waiting by the door. He reached out to take her bag, but she stepped back. \u201cIt\u2019s okay, I\u2019ve got it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn politely turned down his offer. She knew Rebecca hadn\u2019t given up on trying to set them up, and since she had zero interest in that, she didn\u2019t want to do anything that might send the wrong message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI really don\u2019t wanna take up your whole day. If you\u2019ve got stuff to do, you can go ahead and I\u2019ll just explore on my own. And don\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t say anything to Rebecca.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Damon picked up on her resistance right away, but he still took her bag from her. \u201cAre you kidding? I had to fight Rebecca for the chance to show you around, and now you\u2019re trying to ditch me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAutumn didn\u2019t know what to say to that, so she just looked down and followed behind him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon was really thoughtful as he walked her around the neighborhood, and when he noticed she was getting tired, he took her straight to a restaurant he\u2019d already made reservations at.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much for today, I really\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn started to say, but then, Damon\u2019s face suddenly changed, and he yelled out, \u201cWatch out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A car came speeding straight toward Autumn, and in that split second, Damon grabbed her and yanked her toward the sidewalk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they fell, Damon held Autumn\u2019s head tight and used his own body as a cushion to break her fall. The driver who hit them saw more people gathering around and took off before anyone could stop them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn wanted to check if Damon was okay, but he beat her to it. \u201cAre you alright? Did you get hurt?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was clearly the one who was hurt worse, but he didn\u2019t seem to care about himself at all. His whole focus was on making sure Autumn was okay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn shook her head. \u201cI\u2019m fine, but you\u2019re the one who\u2019s injured.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t understand why Damon would use his own body to protect her from danger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that Autumn wasn\u2019t hurt, Damon finally relaxed. He tried to help her up, but the movement pulled at the wound on his back, and he sucked in a sharp breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn quickly scrambled to her feet and carefully helped Damon up. His back had slammed into the railing, and the sharp edge had sliced a long gash across it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat looks really bad. Let me take you to the hospital.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing how worried she looked, Damon tried to comfort her. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019m a doctor. I know how bad it is, and it\u2019s just a surface wound. I\u2019ll be fine once I get home and clean it up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn couldn\u2019t stop herself from asking, \u201cWhy did you save me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Damon looked down and met her eyes directly. \u201cBecause I can\u2019t just stand there and watch someone I care about get hurt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The accident had shaken something loose in him. It made him realize that tragedy could strike at any moment, and he needed to treasure every second with the person he loved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d been planning to take things slow, but now, he didn\u2019t want to hide his feelings anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn\u2019s heart skipped a beat. She\u2019d never had anyone be this direct with her before, and it left her flustered. \u201cYou care about me? But this is only the second time we\u2019ve met\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The affection in Damon\u2019s eyes was practically overflowing. \u201cAutumn, do you really not remember me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn studied his face carefully, trying to place him, but no matter how hard she searched her memory, she couldn\u2019t recall ever meeting him before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
