Peter lay on the guestroom bed, waiting for exhaustion to finally pull him into sleep. His thoughts drifted back to one of the most painful memories of his new life: seeing Mary and Serenity playing in the park. Serenity had been nearly eight years old then, brimming with energy, running, swinging, and laughing. The image of his daughter’s vibrant spirit and the sting of knowing his best friend had married the woman who would have been his wife haunted him.

Though he had no memories of his past, the situation alone was enough to ache deeply. Yet, how could he blame them? They had believed he was dead and had moved on with their lives.

He could have knocked on the door that day and said, “I’m alive.” But what would he have gained? Perhaps he could have reclaimed his family, but the love Mary had once felt for him was likely gone, replaced by new affections. And Serenity? She would have seen him as a stranger, with Marcus as the only father she had ever known. The chaos and pain it would have caused convinced Peter that his decision to stay away had been the right

With these thoughts, his body finally gave in, and he fell into a deep sleep. A few hours later, he awoke abruptly, the familiar dream tearing him from his rest: the hollow sound of something hitting the ground, followed by a deafening ringing in his ears. His heart pounded as he instinctively touched his head, just as he always did after that dream.

He glanced at his phone: 6:00 am. Rising, he dressed in athletic clothes and went for a run, needing to clear his mind

An hour later, Peter returned to the house, showered, and prepared breakfast. Alexia was still asleep, so he allowed himself a moment of solitude. Sitting at the table, his mind wandered. Though he had never told Theodore, there was one memory from his past that refused to fade. When he said, “I have a recurring dream,” he was referring to this: falling, the sharp pain of his head striking a jagged rock, and then the ringing that led into five years of darkness.

“Peter… Are you there?” Alexia’s voice called faintly, pulling him from his thoughts.

He walked to her room and stood in the doorway. “What is it, Alexia?”

“I thought you weren’t here. Can you bring me a pill for my headache? It’s unbearable.”

“You know those pills aren’t candy

“I know, but I need one. It always happens after I have a fever.”

Reluctantly, Peter fetched the bottle and handed her a pill
