"No," Brittany didn't want to tell her son that she had developed feelings for a man who was already married. Daniel seemed downcast. "Okay."

Brittany comforted her son until he fell asleep, but she herself tossed and turned, unable to find rest.

Over the past six months, she had tried to uncover things from before her amnesia. Unfortunately, all traces had been erased. No one dared to speak of Daniel's father, not even Daniel himself.

Living now in Craneville and without her prior memories, Brittany had lost touch with old friends like Kari and Hannah. Although Ysabel was close to her, the Lynette family had warned her early on not to mention anything from before Brittany's memory loss.

Holden nodded. "Go ahead."
