Melvin opened his mouth several times but couldn't find the words. "Do whatever feels right."
Sarah turned her attention to the TV news, but suddenly remembered the photograph. Since Mia couldn't
provide answers, perhaps Melvin knew something.
She quickly pulled the photo from her bag and showed it to him. "Melvin, look at this."
Melvin took it curiously. His pupils constricted, and his fingers tensed around the photo's edge. Trying to stay
calm, he asked, "Why are you showingthis old photo of you and Mia?"
"Mel, can't you see what's strange about it?" Sarah narrowed her eyes.
"It's just a normal photo, isn't it?" Melvin handed it back.
Sarah shook her head firmly. "You're lying. This isn't the current me. | found it at our old house the other day. But

Melvin froze. "What are you talking about? You didn't know her then."
He lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze. "Sarah, maybe you're misremembering. Three years ago, we had no

He left the sentence unfinished.
Sarah watched his expression carefully, noting his panic. Since he'd warned her to stay away from Zachary,
she'd suspected something had happened before. Why else would both Zachary and Melvin seem to be hiding
something?
Yet she had no memory of ever meeting Mia or Zachary before. What were they concealing?
"Melvin, did something happen three years ago?" she asked suddenly.
Melvin felt his blood run cold. His voice darkened. "No. Stop overthinking, Sarah. It's just a photo. | have work to
do. I'll be in my study."
He grabbed his briefcase and hurried upstairs.
Sarah watched his hasty retreat, feeling like he was running away. His behavior only deepened her suspicions
that something was being hidden from her.
The next day, while Sarah was working on her thesis, Zachary once again knocked on her office door.
She had to minimize her screen to let him in. His visits were becoming more and more frequent lately.

Zachary ignored her advice and continued, "But | see it differently. If | don't csee you, I'll truly lose my

"Addiction can be overcome," Sarah replied.
