Don't Believe Her

My life has never been better. I have a beautiful little girl, and I am engaged to be married to the man I've had a crush on since I can remember.



So when Nick, my handsome fiancé, announces that his sister Carla is coming home, it's truly the icing on the cake.



Carla was my best friend growing up until she ran away at sixteen. That was twelve years ago, and no one has seen her since.



Everyone is ecstatic about Carla's return, but I know something isn't right. Her childhood memories don't align with mine, and she's oddly evasive about her lost years. But no one will listen to my concerns - not Nick, not Carla's mother Marjorie, not even our old friends. They all say I'm imagining things.



And yet, the more I question her, the more her story changes. Why is she saying we were never best friends? And why is she trying to turn Nick against me?



But I can tell something is wrong. And before long, I know without a shadow of a doubt...



It's not Carla.
