  "I want to know who the little girl is—her name—what happened to her," she continued.

  "Why?" he bit out sharply.

  It was a simple question. She wished she had a simple answer. How could she tell him that she couldn't stop thinking about that girl, that she felt compelled to learn more about her? She settled for, "The child in the picture is wearing a necklace just like this one." She pulled the chain out of her purse and showed it to him. "I thought it was odd that I had the same one."

  He stared at the swan, then gazed back into her eyes. "No," he muttered with a confused shake of his head. "It's not possible."

  "What's not possible?"

  "You. You can't be her."

  "I didn't say I was her." Julia's heart began to race. "I just said I have the same necklace."

  "This is a dream, isn't it? I'm so tired I'm hallucinating. If I close the door, you'll go away."

  Julia opened her mouth to tell him she wasn't going anywhere, but the door slammed in her face. "I'm not her," she said loudly. "I was born and raised in San Francisco. I've never been out of the country. I'm not her," she repeated, feeling suddenly desperate. "Am I?"
