Leo didn’t say anything, but his eyes were fixed
on our joined hands.
Then, his gaze moved up, and he saw the marks
on my neck.
“What happened to your neck?” His voice was
sharp.
I looked at Sawyer, batting my eyelashes.
“You’ll have to ask my husband.”

Sawyer lit a cigarette.
Through the smoke, he mumbled, “No.”

Clara loses her memory again, let’s switch
back.”
“We’ll see.”

He stared at Sawyer. “I don’t like the way you
look at Clara. You have to promise me you
won’t touch her!”
Sawyer dropped his cigarette and was about to
say something when I walked over, holding my
CT scan.
“Honey, good news! The doctor said my brain is fine! I won’t lose my memory again!”

Leo was stunned. “That’s impossible.”

Sawyer, on the other hand, looked happy.
“That’s great, baby. Let’s go home and
celebrate!”
