---- "T never imagined that the one who really saved us wasn't her-it was you." I recalled how Holly, after the divorce, griped about the meager settlement and started bad-mouthing the Browns as soon as she got back to her village. That was when she let slip about the switch. Even before she took my life, she was ranting about how marrying Anthony in my stead had brought her nothing but trouble. It turned out that Anthony had already heard about it. I soothed his back, allowing him to nestle into my neck. "Don't worry. It's all behind us now. At least this time, we found each other." He chuckled, nudged by my comforting words, and playfully flicked my nose. "Kid, you sure look on the bright side!" I was just about to wrap my arms around him for a ---- comforting embrace when an unsightly face caught my eye nearby. The face was a mess of contorted features, with strands of hair escaping the confines of slick, dark braids. The moment its mouth opened, it was nothing but gripes and groans.
