Wasn’t he supposed to wait until the boarded? Wasn’t that how goodbyes worked?

The hadn’t even reached the gate yet. Why was he leaving first?

Aubrey watched until he disappeared into the airport crowd. She couldn’t understand why he was acting so strange

The turned to board. Once she passed through the gate, she looked back one last time, searching for Damon. But he was nowhere to be seen

Once she boarded the plane, she sent Damon a quick text before turning her phone off.

I’m on the plane. Switching to airplane mode for a few hours.]

The stared at the screen, but Damon didn’t reply. She wondered if he was already driving back

I wasn’t until a flight attendant came by to remind her that she finally toggled the switch to airplane mode. She tucked the phone into her bag and urned to look our the window at the tarmac.

After takeoff, she drifted off to sleep.

Twenty–four hours later, she arrived in Crestview City. She grabbed an Uber and headed to the address Damon had sent her–a home that was a total dank in her memory.

The looked around the spacious, comfortable home. It was foreign to her yet somehow’cozy. A wave of pleasant surprise washed over her, along with a trange, lingering sense of familiarity,

Damon replied: Have you eaten yet? Don’t head out, it’s late. Just order some delivery.]

Okay, I’ll order something and then get the bed ready.]

Aubrey put her phone down after ordering some takeout. She rolled her suitcase into the bedroom and pulled clean sheets and blankets out of the

Early November in Crestview City was still sweltering. She had already tossed her jacket aside, leaving her in just a thin blouse.

By the time she finished making the bed and unpacking her things, her food had arrived.

Aubrey grabbed the takeout and sat on the rug by the coffee table. She opened the container to find a local specialty–a smoked sausage rice bowl. It looked so good she couldn’t help but snap a photo and send it to Damon. [My dinner.]

A second later, Damon sent a photo back. It was a simple bowl of egg noodle soup.

[My dinner, he replied.

Aubrey grabbed a spoon and mixed the rice. The first bite was an absolute flavor bomb. She kept eating with one hand while holding down the voice message button with the other. “Why are you just eating plain noodles?”

Aubrey laughed, covering her mouth. She didn’t text him back, instead setting her phone aside so she could focus on finishing her meal.

After dinner, she posted a quick update to her Social Feed: “Back in Crestview City,

She had just stepped out of the shower when a message from Sierra Vance popped up.

Bree, you’re back? When are you free? Dinner is on me]

Aubrey didn’t remember Sierra, but Damon had told her she was her best friend. She had no reason to say no.

After all, she was back in town to see her old friends and see if any of them could trigger her memory.

I’m heading to my brother’s tomorrow to handle some things, then visiting my dad in prison Let’s do the day after tomorrow]

Perfect. I’ll check in then. Ethan Sterling wants to see you, too. Can he come along?]

Damon said he and I had a falling out. That we aren’t on good terms.]

We’ve been friends for over twenty years. A couple of fights shouldn’t end that. Since you’ve forgotten the drama anyway, just let it go. He really misses you.]

Aubrey truly didn’t know what the fight was about. She wasn’t exactly back to mend fences, but she wanted to see if familiar faces would help her emember anything

She wasn’t opposed to seeing anyone. Even if they were enemies, it didn’t matter to her now.

Fine. Bring him.]

After finishing the chat with Sierra, she crawled into bed and started reading the book Damon had left for her.

For some reason, she couldn’t get into the book. Maybe it was because this house in Crestview City felt so foreign. Or maybe it was because she’d left New Haven–and someone specific–behind.

she lay down, pulled out her phone, and checked Damon’s Social Feed on the Grid

Sure enough, he’d just posted.

I was a photo of a plane taking off. Judging by the flight number, it was her plane.

He’d captioned it: “Safe travels. I’m waiting for you.”

She didn’t like or comment. She just backed out and stared at their chat window. She typed: “What are you doing”

She stared at the words for a second, then deleted them. She tried again: ‘Are you asleep?

She deleted that, too. She shoved the phone under her pillow and rolled over, burying her face in the mattress.

What was wrong with her?

Did she miss him?

They’d only spent a few days together since she lost her memory. How could she catch feelings this fast?

Aubrey didn’t want to believe she was this impulsive, but her heart wasn’t lying.

Some people you could spend a lifetime with and never love.
