Different

from Other Boys

I put the top down on my mother’s convertible, and, surrounded by the azure sky and the lush scrubland, I drove inland. The view was pastoral, the weather was calm—the complete opposite of how I felt.

I was terrified, yes, but excited too, almost elated. Though I dared not admit it even to myself, for the first time in twenty-five years I had a flicker of hope: I was utterly convinced that Vinca was alive, that I would track her down, and that, once I did so, my life would again have meaning and gaiety, and the guilt I had been dragging around for years would finally fade away.

Not only would I discover the truth about the Vinca Rockwell affair; I would emerge from my investigation revitalized, maybe even happy. I really believed that I would free Vinca from the mysterious prison where she languished, and she in turn would free me from the pain and suffering of my lost decades.

In the early days, I had searched tirelessly for Vinca. Then, as the years passed, I waited for her to find me. But I never gave up, because I had an ace up my sleeve that only I knew about. Another memory. Not concrete evidence, perhaps, but a firm conviction. One that, in a court of law, can destroy a life or give it new impetus.
