She opens her mouth to speak but no words come out of it. I watch her throat bubble as she swallows dryly and her entire body grows tense.

"Are you trying to feign innocence?"

"No... I'm just..."

I take two steps closer to her. "All of this discovery has me wondering and asking myself questions." She leaps back when I get to close. "Selena, were you even abducted like you claim?" "Yes, I was!
