The state calls Paul Winthrop to the stand. ... Paul answered the opening questions briefly, weighing his words, his eyes on Julia's.

I know you love me, but I don't know why. I look at you and I just can't get why it's me. Every time I get my balance, I lose it again. Because it shouldn't be me, and I think it'd kill me if you ever figured that out.
