we reviewed the film, as suggested by
your bodyguard. We believe that Danielle’s actions were intentionally harmful and she is being escorted home. Her
actions are in breach of contract and she is terminated from Soulmate .” He said in a slow monotone.
His words should have been a relief but I found myself starting to tear up. It was an overwhelming feeling. I
knew this was going to be on the show and that no one had ever been kicked off for violent behavior before. I
suddenly felt sorry for Danielle and the kind of backlash this could cause.
“I just don’t feel…” I said and stopped when my throat got tight with emotion. I wiped away a few tears
and tried to keep talking. Hoping something would make sense with my crazy emotions going through me. “I guess
I just don’t know if kicking her off is the right thing to do, perhaps she didn’t mean to hit me. I hate the idea of her
being kicked off for one little mistake. Perhaps it was just an accident.” I felt like a fool.
Why am I defending her? Hannah, stop talking! I told myself in my head. I obeyed but whimpered in a pathetic
kind of noise.
“I appreciate you sharing your feelings but the show has already made that decision. Her actions, on film,
clearly showed that she intended to hit you with her elbow and she aimed her luggage at you. She has had several
warnings about her attitude on the show, from the hotel staff and the film crew. Her time on Soulmate is over. She
has been escorted off the
property and she is flying out tonight. She is under guard from show personnel until she leaves the airplane. If you
wish to file charges for assault we can stop her at the airport. It is your decision.”
I just shook my head and felt remarkably close to whimpering some more. Today had been wrong from
the start. Now I just wanted the cameras to go away. I needed to cry alone for a while.
Janette helped me up when the producers were done telling me to rest for the next few days and after
that, if I needed to cancel the date or wanted to go home, I just had to let them know.
There was no chance I was missing the date with Tony in a few days unless I no longer had a pulse, I told myself.
I felt better once I was lying on my uninjured side and covered in several ice packs brought by the hovering
Heidi. My prescriptions were laid out on the table. She had moved to the other side of the bed so I could reach
them with my good arm, while laying on my right side. I had a few moments that evening when I almost felt
normal.

"Well, Hannah, you ruined my perfectly planned whining session about how bad my day was. I had it all
scripted and when I finally got here to the penthouse, everyone said you went to the hospital and there was all this
drama and Danielle was throwing a hissy fit like a four year old. It was epic." Janette said. Her eyes looked wide
and crazy. She was about to act out a hissy fit and amuse me.
"What happened to you today? I never saw you before I left for the hospital. I fully expected to see you
here after I came home the first time." I asked slowly, I felt a little loopy.
"Well my cabbie had no sense of directions or driving ability. Nothing compared to the drama unfolding
here. Let me tell you...." Her arms went up and her red hair was flying. "She was ranting loudly. At this point, I
could imagine editing beeps happening on the aired-for-tv version. She was absolutely irate. Three big guys were
ready to get out the tranquilizer guns if she didn’t calm down. Okay I made that up. But seriously, it was like animal
planet in here for a moment or two. It could be a hit show. “ Soulmate …when savage brides attack!!” I thought it
had great potential. Maybe I should pitch it to the producers the next chance I get." Janette’s eyes were crazy.
I started laughing and it hurt me everywhere, but I could not stop.
"Ow Ow, stop it." I said quietly, while trying not to move too much.
"Oh sorry, I should stop, but seriously, all the girls are glad
