“She lied to me.” A watery laugh escaped me then, because it shouldn’t surprise me. Nothing she did ought to shock me anymore. “This hurts worse than the dybbuk.” How pathetic was it that I would take a near-death experience over heartbreak? “She always said she would choose me. That if Boaz and I happened, and then we didn’t happen, she said she would pick me over him.”
And the hits just keep coming.
