AND WHY WOULDN’T it be?

Because my individual DNA profile was still nowhere to be found. Kristin’s was on file at the firm charged with duly analyzing the swabs Alden had mailed in, but Kristin hadn’t left her DNA all over a dead woman in California. A CSI-style computer, flashing its lights to show off for the television audience, wouldn’t suddenly flash Match Match Match while its screen showed us her picture.

My secret and I were as safe as we’d ever been.

DID I REALLY believe that?

I told myself I did, and perhaps it was so, because in certain respects belief is largely a matter of what you tell yourself. Do you believe in God? Do you believe in life after death? In reincarnation? In life on other planets? If you believe in any of these, isn’t it because you’ve elected to believe?

Oh, evidence may play a part, but it’s like evidence in a judicial proceeding, with each side citing it as proof. Perhaps you remember the cartoon, two goldfish in a bowl. “If there’s no God, then who changes our water?”

You believe what you want to believe.
