Welcome to Mount Orange, Florida, home to a couple thousand living people that nobody’s ever heard of and two really famous dead girls. Downtown Mount Orange is a three-block strip of insurance offices, real estate offices, and four or five junk stores that call themselves “antique shops.” Other than the memorials to Bailey and Celeste scattered around town, and the old crime scene out at Hidden Glen Springs where they died, the only real things of interest are an old-fashioned ice cream parlor called The Cone Zone and a beauty salon called Kurl up and Dye. Every business sports a dark green awning out front, and big planters of ferns and pink hibiscus line the sidewalks. It would be picturesque, probably, if you didn’t live here. But I do. My name is Tru, but more and more often these days, I find myself being less than honest. For instance, I haven’t told my boyfriend that I’m not going to FSU with him in the fall. And I haven’t told anyone that I’m seeing long-dead Bailey and Celeste everywhere I look lately. I spend as much time as I can escaping from all of that by freediving out at Hidden Glen…
