I was convinced that I could recite the papers in my hands offhand because of how I had examined them thoroughly without stopping for a break.
I had been at it for hours and it was like I was stuck in a maze, one path leading me to another myriad of puzzles. Dead end after dead end, frustration heaped on frustration, and the words were starting to seem like Old Latin language.
There was nothing in it that could fill in the gaps I had gaping in my head. Nothing in them could tell me how Diora was Ellary, how she was right under my nose and I didn't remember her, how her background was shrouded in so many mysteries and the worst of all, how she didn't remember me.
I had no answers to this train of questions, yet I had this strong conviction that she was Ellary.
She had to be.
