He was so an- gry that I would suspect him when he saved me, but they thought maybe he did it so he could save me. It was crazy. It was very hard to not be suspicious of people and that’s probably one of the reasons I moved back to New York City because I felt safer there.” Watch Carolyne Mas perform “Midnight Confessions” NJ STAGE - ISSUE 61 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 114
