Chapter 12
Our minds can play tricks on us.
Alcohol can be a factor, mental illness can be a factor, dehydration, starvation, fear, and there are so many more factors.
Right now, I have to believe I have one of those factors.

It’s impossible to comprehend.
I saw...I don’t even know what I saw in Sterling’s eyes. But I do know that I couldn’t look away, I felt like it was beckoning me more and more.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Sterling’s voice startles me.
He has my sweater on his arm. He’s wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts.
