Statesville Prison, PA, 2002:
Lindsay futilely struggled to wake as old memories and bitter regrets weaved to form a nightmare that would seemingly never end. She huddled under the blanket but found no escape from her mental torment.
("I have to get you free, Troy.")
("No! You don't -- you don't understand. Lindsay, he hates you. Colin hates you even more than he hates me. He told me -- he told me you did horrible things. He told me you tried to blame it on him.")
("I love you.")
("And I love you so much, Lindsay. I love you.")
("I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have to tell you something. Colin is doing this because of me. All you need to know is how much I love you. No matter what Colin does, it doesn't matter. It?s never going to change, Troy.")
Time ticked away slowly as Lindsay struggled to overcome the demons of the night.
