Abstract

I have a peculiar affliction.

Every time someone I love lies to me, I lose a memory of them.

After the Prescotts adopted me at five years old, the condition went dormant for twenty years. Not a single symptom. I lived in the comforting certainty of their devotion until the summer they finally found Hallie—the biological daughter they had lost in a crowded department store two decades ago.

The night Hallie was brought home, Mom held me in her arms until dawn, her tears soaking through the shoulder of my linen shirt.
