Daisy is still my best friend, and though she lives a few hours away now, I tell her everything. Except about my phantom. It’s the first time I’ve kept a secret from her, and I feel awful about it. Not only because I feel like I’m lying to her for the first time, but rather, if this man ends up hurting me, I will have made it easy for him to get away with it. I’m such a fool.
