      “I know it sounds weird, Matt, but it’s a vast conspiracy aimed at making me look crazy.

      “They were trying to make it look like Jenna Moon never existed,” she finished in a rush of excitement.

      “It sounds too incredible to be true,” he said slowly, taking her hands in his. “And that might have been just what they were counting on—whoever ‘they’ are.”

      And Jenna was suddenly certain she would never be the same person she’d been half an hour ago.
