She Forgot Our Forever Chapter 8
Joshua did have a childhood sweetheart, and Cody was their son. But she left him years earlier because she couldn't stand life in the remote town.At the time, Joshua was a doctor at the local clinic. Some locals found Lindsay after her fall and brought her there. She remained unconscious for more than a year.The locals felt sorry for Joshua and agreed to help him lie. They told Lindsay she gave birth to Cody, then fell off a cliff and lost her memory.When the Reeds and Eric came looking for answers, the locals gave them a different version of the same lie: Lindsay fell in love with Joshua after losing her memory, and they had a child together.If even one person had called the police or taken her to a hospital, the authorities might have recovered the information she carried.Lindsay knew Joshua had used her family's connections for years to get ahead. He even became a department chief at a prestigious regional hospital.The woman who left him eventually became a patient there
She Forgot Our Forever Chapter 7
Lindsay was determined to make everyone who kept her and Eric apart answer for what they did.Her family happened to be hosting a large gathering. She sat at the dinner table and listened as they reminisced about her supposed childhood romance with Joshua.Every story was about something she shared with Eric.Everyone at the table knew the truth. Still, they sat there lying to her, just as they did for years.They went out of their way to erase Eric from her life, putting Joshua in his place in every story they told.Ruby Palmer, a distant aunt who once taught them at school, smiled warmly at Joshua."I still remember Lindsay telling everyone she was going to spend her life with you. You two were such a cute couple!"Eric was good-looking and did well in school. Girls slipped him love notes all the time.Lindsay confiscated every one she could find. She even got on the school PA system to make an announcement."Just so we're clear, girls, I'm the one who's going to spend the r

As soon as Lindsay got home, she went straight to her study. She knew exactly where to find her old phone, tucked away on the top shelf of the bookcase.For seven years, she couldn't figure out the password. This time, she typed in Eric's initials, and the phone unlocked.Thousands of photos filled the screen. The man from the waffle stand appeared in all of them.Eric. Now she had a name to go with his face.She kept scrolling and found photos of them together, from childhood all the way through college. He was beside her through every stage of her life.Only then did she grasp how much she had lost, and how important he was to her.The memories came flooding back.There was Eric in high school, so sure of himself as he announced that he was going to be the best cop in the country.Neither of them was particularly religious, but they each secretly went to a church to pray for the other's safety and brought home a St. Christopher medal for the other.Then she remembered her

Lindsay never got a call from the man she gave her business card to. She couldn't explain why she felt such a strong urge to help someone she barely knew. She didn't even know his name.Few people knew how much syrup she liked on her waffles. Yet he poured it on without even asking.For years, she tried to piece together her life before the memory loss, but her parents refused to discuss it. The private investigator's findings and Joshua's well-rehearsed stories always seemed to follow the same .It felt as though someone had put her life back together and left out the most important part.For months, Joshua found one excuse after another to delay her plans. He was adamantly opposed to her moving to Dover.At first, Lindsay assumed he worried about how Cody would handle the climate."If you don't want to move, you and Cody can stay in Whitefield. I'm not asking you to come with me."Joshua frowned. "What? You'd really move there without us?"He grew restless. "Is this about t
She Forgot Our Forever Chapter 4
The next day, I returned to Whitefield. Anthony handed me the case files and studied me for a moment. "You've lost a lot of weight."I kept my eyes on the information about the suspects' hideout. "Not really."When I first moved to Dover, I could barely function. I had just lost the woman I planned to marry and the career I worked so hard to build.I couldn't sleep, either. One night, desperate to get some rest, I swallowed more than half a bottle of sleeping pills. If Hannah hadn't found me in time, I might not have survived.She wasn't even ten.After that, she was so afraid something would happen to me that she crept into my room at night to check on me. When I asked why, she said she was keeping a promise."Lindsay said we had to wait for her to come home together. And I don't want to be all alone again."I stroked her hair. For Hannah's sake, I had to keep going.Lindsay's parents soon showed up at the station. I assumed they were there to warn me away from her again

Before I could give Anthony an answer, Joshua showed up at my door.He got straight to the point. "Mr. Gibbs, I'd like you to stay away from my wife. I know you two were together years ago, but she's married now, and we have a son together. Having you around is already causing serious problems for us."I had only seen Lindsay twice. All I did was run a waffle stand for an undercover assignment, yet somehow, I was the one expected to back off.The same thing happened seven years ago. The day after I gave up on helping Lindsay recover her memories, I received transfer orders.Anthony was my mentor since my days at the police academy. He even got our whole division to push back against the transfer, but it did no good.When he came back, he looked defeated. "I'm sorry, Eric."The transfer sent me from Whitefield to Dover, more than 1,000 miles away.I knew why. Lindsay's family wanted to keep me away from her. They were afraid seeing me would bring back her memories and send her
