"I don't understand what you're talking about. Don't make baseless accusations. But I know one thing. Your future path won't be easy.

Her words contained too much information, and I didn't know which part was true or false.
How could I be Annalise? Although I speculated on a connection with that person, the nature of that connection eluded me.
