Null couldn't help as small smile formed on his lips as he liifted the book that his grandfather had made years ago, tears falling as he remembered the happy memories that they had. Before everything had fallen apart.

Her words seemed to have sent a ripple of thought inside my head. “What is it?” I inquired. “I just don’t know if this will actually help you.” “Just cut to the chase Ivana.” I spat right at her. “You’re just making me guess and I’m already tired.” “You know forgetting doesn’t always mean you should erase that person from your memories.” Ivana mumbled and then there was silence after that. Without further ado, she reached for her bag and pulled out a dusty old notebook that seemed to be from ten years ago. She’s really making me think a lot of things. “Maybe, just maybe, you just need to let them feel what they have made you feel you know. Perhaps that’s the only way for you to forget about

Malik didn't give back the glass. Abhinav excepted his defeat. "Pal, people says that alcohol helps to forget every pain.Then Why am I not able to forget my pain,my grief?Why can't I forget her?"Abhinav mumbled keeping his head on his friend's shoulder. "I am not..."Abhinav paused for a moment and then laughed out. "What happened, Abhi?Why are you laughing?"Malik was puzzled. "I had alcohol to forget her.It worked in a reverse .After taking this, I'm seeing her everywhere."Abhinav let out a chuckled.

Without hesitation, I tossed the leftovers straight into the trash. Henry looked ready to explode, but when his gaze fell on the pitiful amount of soup left, guilt swallowed his anger whole. "It’s not leftovers," Henry said stiffly. He had clearly forgotten that I was allergic to mushroom soup. Years ago, when Henry had just come of age, reckless and brimming with pride, he provoked a rival. The man had aimed to cripple his hand, but I had taken the blow for him. To comfort me, he had bought me some mushroom soup.

However, many believed that he had deliberately electrocuted himself because, in his final moments, he was smiling. I attended his funeral. Bernice cried her heart out. In just a few months, she had lost her entire family. I hugged her and wished her well. And I wished myself well, too. As I walked away from the funeral, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I knew I would never have to live in fear again, nor would I have nightmares anymore.

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.

He then headed to bed for the night hoping Iris will find something helpful. Several hours go by, Iris is still deciphering the books. She’s on the last one. They all had said the same thing. The same terrible price . The same danger it posed. “Please just let me find something else” she says as Quinn walks in. He grabs a glass of water out of the fridge. “Anything?” He asks, walking over to her, handing her the water. She shakes her head no. “I’m on the last few pages and they all say the same thing” she sighs, losing hope.

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.

I sat there until the November light went out of the window, and then I sat there in the dark, and at some point I noticed I was crying quietly, without any of the dramatics the body sometimes gives a person, just water moving down my face the way water moves down a face when the body has, finally, been given a thing it had been carrying for two months and decided to put down. I was crying because he had been in the bookstore. I was crying because he had spoken first. I was crying because he had spoken to the book and not to me, and the speaking-to-the-book was the most exact thing anyone had said to me in a long time. I was crying because Eddie Doyle had been right the night before, and wro

The cover is worn, soft under my fingers, like someone's held this book a lot and loved it. I open it carefully, turning the pages one by on, and then it happens again. A voice. My voice. Soft and sad and so familiar it makes my chest ache. "Love is so short, forgetting is so long." I hear myself saying those words. I don't know when. I don't know where. But I said them. I meant them. I close the book hard. My knees buckle. I slide down the shelf until I am sitting on the floor, my back pressed against the stacks, the book still clutched in my hands.
