147 SONGS AND JOY

ARIEL’S POV

“So now you’re trying to tell me that it was all an act? You falling on the ground, shaking, and all that? It was all planned with the doctors and nurses?” I asked Luke after he had brought the whole thing out to me. I couldn’t believe my ears. But it shouldn’t be surprising, since this man was a psycho.

“Yes, it was an act,” Luke replied, smiling at me.

I was still trying to process the whole thing. “But why, huh? You almost gave me a heart attack you mad man!” I wanted to hit his chest but he seized both of my hands.

“Calm down, will you?”

“Of course you did.”

“Why are you getting so upset now? Didn’t you love the music?” He gestured towards the musicians standing behind him.

“Yes, I do love the music.”

“Put on a big smile then,” he spoke immediately. “And I think it’s time to go home.”

“Time to go home? Hold on, mister. You haven’t fully recovered yet. The wound’s a deep one. The nurse clearly told you that.”

“And it was this same nurse that I planned the whole thing with. Well, she was just part of the act.”
