Something Untoward

The Heart Sees is about a woman, June Mitchel, waking up in what she thinks is a utopic dream. This dream turns out to be the bed of stranger who is apparently not that much of a stranger. It takes a while for her to realize that she met this stranger, Alrick Samson, the evening before. Alrick Samson is someone she should not have been with that night, and someone she definitely cannot be with in the future because of her many other relationshps.

However the morning after is not the end of their affair, and neither was the evening before the beginning of their acquaintance. The only trouble is that she does not know it, and Alrick delights in the act of torturing her about what role he played in her life thus far. For the most part she does not believe him, but Alrick finds ways to make her swing back and forth between submission and defiance. She is on this teeter totter because she can't remember anything about the evening, how she seduced him, or vise versa, or why her heart seem to intent on having him to herself; especially when he seemed so determined to love someone else. Did her heart see something that only time would tell? The story helps sort out this conundrum.
