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.

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

“Oh my god,” I spoke underneath my breath, turning my face away.
