Chapter Four—Home Again, Home Again That night, for the first in as many as he could remember, Tessa didn't hound Simon for sex, for which he was grateful. "So, you got the job I assume." "Uh huh." "And you like it?" "Oh yes," Tess assured him. "Good night, Simon. I've had quite a busy day." Tess was asleep almost immediately, dreaming of doctors, docto...
How did I know they were one person? Or two people? The distinction is still unclear to me. Really, they were both at the same time. I met Lily first. She was striking in her beauty.

She tried, without moving, to remember anything which she might have done the previous day which could have been the cause of her discomfort. She remembered the Samb...
I was late. I was trying to get to class, it was the last week of university and I was late. I worked so hard over the years to get good grades and always attend class. I wasn't a goody-two-shoes, just wanted to do well. I thought I could cut through the industrial section to save some time. As I was getting closer to school, I saw a back alley that might...
