"There you go dear." She said, handing the book over.
"I don't have to pay?"
"Of course not, this isn't reality dear." Spoken with a smile.
That line alone made Aisling confused by what she meant by it all she did was smile in return and walked out with that book.

Her name was Elise Wahl, you two exchanged common chatter and later on phone numbers. Months later you two began dating..." Aisling stopped.
Aisling knew nobody by the name of Elise... She never went to cafés either, none of it made sense. Letting out a grunt of frustration she continued reading, skipping most.
"After college you both still were together and you both felt as if it was friendship which made it last..."
"Two years after April 8th you both adopted a son whose name was Tate. After parenting Tate for five years after he was a little toddler you adopted Adley, who was one years old."

"None of this matches with my life, isn't it suppose to be about life it talked about my childhood! Why does it contain things that never happened!"
Aisling flipped to the back page where in bold it read. This all would have happened if you lived to 57, it's sad to say you didn't and died at 25. Slamming the book close she walked to the counter in the kitchen and leaned on

    In my generation, individuals are filled with secrets that can haunt us, define us and make us question our loyalty to one another. Does sending them secrets free make you feel free?
