I glared at him playfully. He closed his eyes tightly. "Oh, baby. I do not even remember that. Did I really? Dry hump?" He looked really confused now which made me roll my eyes again. "Wow. Are that old to forget about it? In the girls' comfort room." "Sorry. I forgot about it. It does not even matter. That is all in the past now, baby. Do not tell me we are going to fight over it?" "I am just saying! You looked so horny then!" Suddenly, my blood boiled when I remember the lipstick mark in his neck and all over his face.

The anger that I felt the night I lost my pup resurfaces and it takes everything in me not to step towards the man who caused the pain. “I was the one always there for you. The one who cooked for you, who helped you through business deals and pack issues, yet the moment that bitch Darcia shows up, I become nothing but trash for you to throw away. I am not trash!” I continue, feeling like a woman possessed as I let everything out. The pain, the anger, the hatred.

He asked, holding my gaze as he moved to kneel across from me. Shaking my head no, I bit back the next sob biting at my throat, "n-no because someone once told me that if you keep forgiving and forgetting in this life, you'll keep getting fucked over" I bitterly laughed out as I threw his words back at him. A dejected look settled on his face.

If I had, I never would've let him get near Sadie. I was actually confident that Sadie would never forget me. Seven years together wasn't something she could just forget. But it was that very confidence that cost me everything. I thought it'd be like before. All I had to do was wait a few days, and she'd forget again. I wouldn't even have to coax her back. But just that one time, everything changed. If I could turn back time to that day, I'd never have made that bet with my friends. I'd never have said those things I didn't mean.

Trevor doesn’t believe in such fairytales, I think, as the bitter taste of bile rises deep in my throat and makes me shake my head. “We want different things,” I say to my best friend. “There’s no use wanting someone who won’t let himself feel the same way.” The solemn echo of my words settles deep inside my heart. All I had to do was forget about Trevor now and hope it’ll get easier to forget the memories we shared as the days rolled by. *** Forgetting is harder than I anticipated it to be. I tossed around on my bed that evening after closing Espresso Books for the day and found myself itching with the urge to call him and listen to the velvety smooth timbre of his voice.

The world around me had lost its vibrancy, and the once-familiar paths felt shrouded in shadows. As I moved through the days, a deep sense of emptiness settled within me. The echoes of her laughter, the warmth of her touch, and the light in her eyes all seemed like distant memories that I had foolishly let slip away. The realization of what I had sacrificed was a constant ache in my chest, a reminder of the love that had been squandered.

Anything. Her fingers grasped a small, forgotten journal. She threw it across the room, the pages fluttering like wounded birds. Moments after she threw it, a forgotten memory resurfaced, and her head snapped to where the book landed–just in front of the door. She rushed to pick it up as a fresh wave of memories crashed down upon her. Her fingers slowly grazed over the cover, nostalgia settling in. A small, strained sigh escaped her lips as she tentatively opened the book.

Then, for the first time— It spoke directly to the grieving being. YOU KEPT THE PAIN. The black ocean shook softly. The grieving entity answered weakly: “Because I thought forgetting would hurt less.” The silence beneath reality stared upward. Then quietly: DID IT. The question cut deeper than anything else. Because the answer was obvious. No. Forgetting had not healed the grief. It only erased the joy attached to it, too. The grieving entity closed its eyes tightly. And suddenly— The black ocean began turning silver again. Tiny streaks of light spread through the water.

But with something different underneath, something that had the specific texture of something personal rather than observed, something that was not about the evidence but about him. "I had not heard myself laugh," he said, "in four years. Not genuinely. Not the involuntary kind that comes before the decision to allow it." He looked at the valley for a moment. Then back at me. "The first time I heard you laugh in the staircase of this estate, when Aurora had said something that surprised it out of you, and it came out sudden and real and entirely not managed." He stopped.
