"I will be," he replied after taking a moment to ponder the question. He
wondered how he could have been so wrong about Megan. Why hadn't he seen
any signs of her mental illness? And if it wasn't that, why had she done

questions. Now it was just a matter of accepting that and putting the whole
thing into it's proper prespective.
