“Jessica,” Rebecca said, turning to her.

Jessica looked at her with gentle patience. “Go ahead.”

Rebecca pressed her lips together, then voiced her thoughts. “I want to find Andrea and figure out if she really found Jeffrey because of that scar.”

“Okay,” Jessica said, respecting her decision. “I’ll go with you.”

Jessica knew what Rebecca was thinking.

Rebecca would have preferred it if the person who saved Jeffrey’s life had been Andrea, or even someone else –just not herself. Sometimes, the way fate messes with you is even harder to swallow than the truth.

That night, Rebecca lay awake the whole night.

Her mind kept replaying everything between her and Jeffrey–the sweet times, the arguments, the happy moments, and all the ups and downs.

She remembered every expression, every move, every look in his eyes, and every tone in his voice. She remembered the way he loved her, and she also remembered those sharp words he’d thrown at her out of

anger.

It was just past six in the morning.

She grabbed her phone and tapped on Andrea’s contact.

After a moment of hesitation, she texted Andrea: [I know who it is. The deal’s off.]

Andrea didn’t see the message until after eight. She didn’t even blink–just thought Rebecca was trying to play her. Andrea called, her voice totally nonchalant. “Alright then, spit it out–who is it?”

If she really knew, she wouldn’t have sent that text.

She wouldn’t have done anything except freak out, screaming at Rebecca, demanding to know why she’d taken her place.

“Me,” Rebecca said, her voice steady and brief as she spoke in the study.

Andrea froze.

There was a long silence on her end.

Rebecca didn’t give her any room for excuses. She went straight for it. “I didn’t even know it was Jeffrey back then–so how did you?”

There was a long silence on the other end, then Andrea hung up without saying a word.
