"That last one was a nice girl. The blonde, what was her name?" 
My eyes go wide. "Amanda," I say, slowly. 
The light from the fire flickers across her face as she gazes to the ceiling. "Ah, yes. Amanda. Such a sweet girl." 
I want to bolt, but something keeps me rooted in place. "She was." 
Her eyes meet mine, and I search them. Seeing a piece of me, I don't hide from the truth anymore. 
"It's a sickness. Some even call it a disease. Do you want to know what I call it?" 
A grandfather clock chimes away as our gaze never breaks. "What?" I ask. 
"Gaslighting."
