I’m the CEO’s doctor friend.The very first day I get back from my residency in Germany, his girlfriend points a tear-streaked face at me and wails:
“I thought you were different from all those other alpha-male CEOs, but I can’t believe you sponsored a charity case, too. Are you trying to replace me with her?”
I just stand there, completely baffled.
I look over at my friend, the CEO in question.
“Dude,” I say. “You sponsored me? Where’s the money? Because I sure as hell never saw a dime.”

Before Leo could get a word in, the girl he’d put on a pedestal for years, Clara Monroe, steamrolled right on.
“It all makes sense now! All those trips you took overseas every month, you said they were for business. You were going to see her!”
“And now she’s back. So what’s next, Leo? Are you going to bring your little charity case home, hide behind some flimsy excuse of pity, and then start sneaking around with her right under my nose?”
Her voice wasn’t quiet. The usual rush of travelers in the arrivals hall at JFK slowed, then stopped. A small crowd was forming, their curious gazes bouncing between the three of us like a tennis match.
Clara, however, seemed completely oblivious, lost in her own tragic performance, tears streaming down her cheeks like something out of an old movie.
My toes were threatening to permanently cramp from the sheer awkwardness of it all.
What in the world was happening?
All I did was finish my residency and ask my oldest friend, Leo Sterling, to pick me up from the airport.
How did that morph into me being his sponsored student from the wrong side of the tracks? And where did this whole plotline about moving into his house and having a secret affair come from?
Leo looked just as stunned as I felt. It took him a second to find his voice, his brow furrowing.
“Clara, what are you talking about? My monthly trips abroad were for work. You were with me on almost every single one of them. You know exactly what I was doing.”
“And this,” he said, gesturing toward me, “is Wren. Wren Miller. My friend the doctor, the one I told you about who was doing her residency in Germany. She’s finally back. She is not, and has never been, a ‘sponsored student.’”
Clara’s eyes raked over me, from my worn-out travel sweats to my messy bun. A fat, perfect tear rolled down her cheek. Her expression crumpled into one of profound heartbreak.
“Leo, darling,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “You don’t have to lie to protect my feelings. If she was really your doctor friend, how could she possibly be back from a German program so soon?”
