Chapter 1

When I weighed 180 pounds, I fell for Ethan.

Sarah weighed 98 pounds.

His eyes lit up when he looked at her.

When he looked at me, there was only polite avoidance.

I started running, lifting weights, dieting.

When I hit 130, he said, “Not bad.”

When I hit 110, he said, “Sarah looks good even without losing weight.”

I didn’t stop.

A talent scout discovered me.

I signed with an agency.

Milan, Paris, New York.

I walked my way onto the supermodel rankings.

Sarah told Ethan she was the one who introduced me to that scout.

Ethan sent me a message: “You really have Sarah to thank for that.

Without her, you wouldn’t be where you are today.”

Last month, a major brand approached me for an endorsement deal.

One million dollars.

Sarah texted me: “Could you let me have this one?

I’m just starting out.”

Ethan also tried to persuade me: “It’s just one commercial.

It wouldn’t hurt to help her.”

I looked at the number on the contract.

My agent pressed me: “Are you signing or not?”

I answered without hesitation: “Sign.”
