    She shouldn’t have to feel this way.
    She shouldn’t have people messing with her head like this, either. Pulling and twisting at anything she believed, so that she ended up doubting everything.
    She found the note and re-read it.
    So what do you do? Believe the guy who breaks in on you with his two armed sidekicks? Or believe the guy who has done everything in his power to make you distrust him but still you just can’t shake off how he makes you feel?
    She had time. All the time she wanted.

    She read the note yet again, swallowed, stood, and then went downstairs to where Marshall and Sally had a phone.
    Why was she like this? This thing for the bad guy. She never had been able to resist the bad boy.
    All the bad luck she’d had, all the even worse choices she’d made. Was she forever trapped in that cycle, or was this really the right thing?
    There was only one way to find out.
    She reached for the phone.
