Chapter 48 Thinking Of The Dream

• I spend the next two days alternating between speculating about Maria and worrying about Patrick’s return.
• Who is she? Someone who looks a lot like me, apparently. So similar that she could be my younger sister, Beth said. How old is this girl? Who is she to Patrick? The questions gnaw at me, interfering with my sleep. He took me because of my resemblance to her—that much is obvious to me. But why? What happened to her? Why is she in his nightmares?
• I want to know, I want to understand, yet I’m afraid of Patrick’s reaction when he returns and finds out that I snooped. I could try to explain that I learned all of this accidentally, that I didn’t mean to invade his privacy, but I strongly suspect my captor is not the understanding type.
