And then it is over and she is turning to face her audience. Her mother is in the front row, beside her father and Jean.       Greg/Wayne takes her hand and they walk together down the aisle. As she reaches the doors, she hears her mother’s voice – faint yet strong.       “Don’t believe what your eyes see, Melinda. Believe what your heart hears.”       And before she can turn to speak to her mother, before she can ask her what she means, the dream is over and she is awake, staring up at the ceiling once again, Greg snoring softly beside her.       Melinda sighs, letting the dream wash over her again. She supposed she already knew what the dream meant.      She was beginning to have serious doubts about the memories she had regarding her grandmother’s illness and death. It all seemed too dreamlike, too hazy.      Wayne would remember,’ she thinks. She frowns at the thought. Calling him is something she can’t bring herself to do, no matter how deep her doubts really run.      “Maybe it’s time to broach the subject of my mother with Father again,” she says aloud, running her nail over the edges of her magazine.      But the thought makes her nervous. Her mind drifts back to the last time she had asked her father to explain her past. She had lost her patience and stormed out. He told her things she didn’t want to hear and she didn’t care if what he said was true or not.      She holds her head in her hands and squeezes her eyes shut as if to block the memory. It was typical Melinda behaviour. She was always running away from problems, always trying to escape the things she didn’t want to face.      When she opens her eyes, the sickeningly happy faces of the dress models seem to swim before her. She is overcome by a feeling of vertigo and she snaps the magazines shut.      What she wants to do more than anything right now is to run away again. She feels an almost desperate desire to escape this new set of problems she had created for herself, and most of all, to escape the past that kept haunting her.      But instead of escaping, she knew she needed to find the truth about her grandmother and mother once and for all.
