THE SECRET ROOM | UNLOCKED

Rachel's back with part two. Years later a real Drew entered her life. With the memory of fake Drew still very real in her head, the prospect of a real-life Drew was too hard to resist. How that real world relationship played out, and its ties to fantasy, is the second part of Rachel’s story. Susie Lark hosts.
