CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Keep your ocean, I’ll take the lake.

Amber reads the caption below the photo. She feels as though her brain might blow a circuit trying to make sense of what she’s seeing. Why on earth would Joanna Delaney have posted a photo of Sophie on her Facebook page? How did she get it? Did Sophie send it to her? Did Marc? That doesn’t even begin to make sense.

From the caption and the flowing red hair, anyone would think that Joanna was posting a picture of herself. You can’t see her face, but Sophie’s hair is very similar to Joanna’s, especially with this washed-out filter.

And having now seen two photos of Joanna Delaney—one from the charity event and the other one on the mountaintop in her profile picture—Amber can see that her and Sophie’s body types are very similar, too.

But why would Joanna want people to think that this photo was of her?

Amber scrolls down again, hoping this will all suddenly make sense, but what she sees only adds to her confusion. Joanna posted another photo on her page nearly a week ago. One that Amber distinctly remembers seeing Sophie taking while she and Dean had sat across the room from her and Marc on that first night at the restaurant.

It’s a photo of a meal, grilled fish with asparagus and baby potatoes. Below it reads Dinner courtesy of Marc’s fishing skills. I always knew he was a catch. A winking face emoji ends the caption.

Amber feels a sudden kick right in her gut. Something here is very, very wrong.

A wife posting photos to her Facebook page of her husband’s secret getaway with his girlfriend? Why would anyone do that?

Did she get her hands on the pictures somehow and post them publicly to shame her husband? If she did, she’d hardly write a caption that makes it sound as though it’s actually her who is here and not Sophie.

Amber’s eyes feel fuzzy from staring at the image. She rubs at them and tries to think through this logically, by piecing together what she can see as the facts.

These are Sophie’s photos. She took them. She took them, and now they are on Joanna’s Facebook page.

Did Sophie hack into Joanna’s Facebook account and start posting shots from her and Marc’s vacation together to taunt Marc’s wife?

No. That would be the most cruel and unusual way to break it to Joanna. None of this is making sense.

Amber scrolls down again. The next few posts are re-shares. An animal rights campaign poster and one about a community project in Bakersfield. After that are two more scenic photos from areas that Amber recognizes as being around Spring River. They could easily be ones that Sophie took while on one of her two-mile jogs.

There’s no lack of posts, unlike on Amber’s own Facebook feed, which is occupied exclusively by metaphorical tumbleweeds.

Scrolling down Joanna’s page, there are more re-shares from a few weeks back and before that another photo from a couple of months ago. This one is a selfie of both Marc and a woman.
