Riley stood there with a wide smile on her face embracing her brother and I stilled. I wasn’t prepared for this and I had no idea how we were going to navigate the now very tricky situation. I caught Christine's eye over Riley's body and she immediately rushed over to my side while Ryker attended to his sister and best friend.

“Riley is Ryker’s younger sister, Damien is her mate although I'm not sure if they are mated as of now,” she explained “The last time we saw them, they had a huge fight of sorts. I don’t know if it has been resolved.”

The fact that she still took time out to explain to me had me feeling guilty and I remembered Ryker’s earlier words. “Christine, I need to-"

“Whatever you want to say, you can talk about it later. For now, just focus on not letting them know that you don't remember,” she took a step back from me as Riley's eyes finally found mine.

She rushed over to me and I allowed myself to bask in her embrace. I was aware that I was meant to be putting on a show but Riley was like my sister and I wasn’t sure how long I could pretend. I remembered how things ended the last time and I was just grateful that she was here and not pissed off at us.

She pulled back from me with a smile before turning to Ryker. “I am still pissed that you sent me away the last time. What were you even thinking?”

“I was keeping you safe,” he said simply and when she opened her mouth to protest, he cut her off. “Let's take you inside, okay? We have a lot that we need to talk about.” He turned to Christine and Juan. “Do you think you can take the girls inside? There are a few things we have to discuss.”

Christine nodded and I watched as they ushered my children inside. Ryker and Riley walked ahead and I let them have their moment. I never had siblings so I couldn't tell how hard it was for them to be apart but I was willing to give them their space.

Were we going to tell them I had lost my memory or were we just going to watch things play out?”

“Are you alright?” o nearly jumped when I heard Damien's voice by my ears. He was standing next to me with a concerned look on his face. “I didn’t mean to scare you. You just looked lost in your own mind right there. Is everything okay?”

I nodded and gave him the best smile I could muster at the moment. “I'm good, I am just thinking about a few things.”

“Right,” I could tell there was more that he wanted to say so I stayed quiet to give him the chance and opportunity tc do so. It took two minutes for him to finally speak up again. “When Riley told me that you both sent her back, I knew something was wrong. I tried to reach out but I didn’t get any answers back.”

“We had a lot going on at the time,” it was a simple and vague response. “I think you should talk to Ryker if you want any questions answered. We just didn’t want Riley here while we tried to fix our shit. I think it worked out well seeing as you both came together”
