A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

"Yesterday? What did I say yesterday?"

Silas looked genuinely confused. Truth be told, he didn't remember a single thing he'd said the night before.

But Norton and the other two guys were all staring at him, eyes fixed, like they were waiting for something.

Clearly, he must've said something.

He tried again, “Did I say something I shouldn't have last night?”

He really couldn't remember. All he could recall was that he hadn't been tired at all, then, somehow, he just fell asleep out of nowhere.
