    He knew that there was a connection between them, just like the connection between Michael and him. He knew that it was because they were twins, Gabriel being the first thing that Michael ever knew. It made sense that he could connect with Gabriel in the same way that he did with Michael.

    When the crate arrived, Michelle knew her precious artwork survived the auction block. Mike had bought her story---how it tore at her soul to sell the pieces. It would be akin to brushing away chunks of her life, erasing it as if it never existed, she told him. She didn’t lie. It would kill her to sell them. She’d only receive half the proceeds. Besides, Mike, now bent on expunging all memories of their marriage, expeditiously liquidated their past at fire sale prices. His previous groveling, begging
