PART 3 - CHAPTER 153 JESS

I got back to my apartment just in time to watch the sunset over the beach. The sound of waves crashing in the distance was my favorite. It helped my mind calm down. As much as I hate to admit it, a part

of me still wanted to remember, and that part of my brain never seemed to switch off.

After my last competition win, I'd finally been able to buy this condo-
