My eyes widened, and I sat back up. That’s it! An illusion! Ever since Mary had shown up on my front steps, I had been trying to figure out and solve the complicated puzzle that had become my life. No matter how many times I tried, I still managed to end up drawing a blank. Even with Jack explaining things away, the pieces still didn’t fit. Oh sure, his reasoning behind everything sounded good, but when I put everything together I couldn’t help but feel like I was trying to stuff a square block into a triangle hole. And now I finally knew why. Jack wasn’t who he seemed. He’d come out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. I’d even fallen in love with him. I couldn’t deny that. My heart wouldn’t allow it. Still, something Kim said to me a few weeks earlier kept playing over in my head and suddenly made sense. Like an old-time record caught on eternal skip, I could still hear her voice as she said, “Sweetie, if he seems too good to be true. He probably is.”
