Chapter 24

• Richard
• I find it hard to believe that what is happening is real. Just five minutes ago, everything was fine; Claudia was smiling, although she kept her reservations. But she was letting me into her heart, and that was more than enough. Instead, now everything is going to hell. Why didn’t I follow my instinct? I knew something didn’t add up in Hannah’s death, and now not only do I lose Claudia, but she is no longer even my wife.
• “Richard, love, tell this man to leave me alone,” Hannah asks, referring to my friend who won’t let her take another step inside.
