“Wow. You haven’t told me anything.”
“I know, but I didn’t know how to say it. I barely understand it myself. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I wake up in a panic, sitting straight up on the mattress. Only to be slapped in the face with the illusion of a man who isn’t in there.”
“Your stalker?”

“What about Cade?”
“The brother, right?”
“Yeah.”
“I thought you said he hasn’t been in your life for a decade?”
