I got into accident last year and lost my memory..." She answered. Dom looked at her like he is in deep thoughts. "You don't remember!" He wonder why both of them are in the same boat.

Eventually, you start wishing for the torture to start, if only so you can feel a connection.” “But then you came,” Grace went on, gesturing to Nicholas. “You were such a fucking prick.
