Shane untied her hands and said, "Cole will take you home."

"No, I want to be with you," she said and clung to him with all her strength. "If anything happens, we will face it together. I don't want you to be sad alone while I sleep back home. Besides, I'm sure I can't sleep."

"Charlotte, I don't remember any memories of us." The expression in his eyes did not change when he looked at her.

"I don't understand."

"He wanted to use my past memories to conceal my present memories. He succeeded halfway."

Charlotte realized why Avery spoke in a light tone. Maybe it was just a possibility to him. The reality was much more cruel and terrifying.

She shook her head fiercely. "It's okay, we don't have many memories anyway."

No.

Shane regarded the strangely familiar person in front of him. She clearly matched the face in his memory, but he couldn't figure out if it was really

Charlotte suddenly leaned forward to kiss him. A sense of familiarity flooded him, he instinctively enveloped her in his arms and deepened the kiss. They fell onto the bed in a mess of entangled limbs. She threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

The sky was dark.

Charlotte rubbed her eyes as she awakened. Her body felt cold and she pulled the quilt up instinctively.

"Are you cold?" The man beside her gathered her in his arms.

"Yeah." She buried her head in his arms.

"You moved a lot in your sleep."

"Did I push you away?"

"Obviously."

Charlotte laughed sheepishly for a moment. She snuggled deeper into his hold and her body curled up under the blanket. She felt warm in his embrace.
