Until one afternoon when I find myself standing in front of him—pretending to be someone I am not.  But the joke's on me because for all my pretenses, his deception is much crueler. The hardened, dangerous, impossibly beautiful man is nothing like the man in the letters.   And it's too late for me to run.
