She had forgotten my name.
She had forgotten the man she used to love.
And somehow, she had come back to me.

Meredith Hayes. Bright, beautiful, intense. The kind of woman who left marks without ever touching you.
And I had loved this woman for years. Long before she had ever looked at me this way. Long before she had chosen Adrian over me. I had learned how to want her in silence. How to protect her without touching her. How to survive loving her from the shadows.

The accident came first.
A red rose, blood, rain... and when she woke up, she did not remember anything.
The doctors called it retrograde amnesia. Trauma had stripped her memory down to what it could bear. They said some things might come back. They said some things never would.
So I stayed. I answered when she asked questions. I told myself I was only there to help her heal, that whatever grew between us was temporary, born of confusion and closeness, not truth.
But the way she looked at me said otherwise.

And then there was Adrian.
My adopted brother. The man she had loved before me. The man who could not accept that her memory had erased him. He wanted her back, wanted to force recognition where there was none.
He and his manipulative mistress circled Meredith like predators, convinced she was still theirs.
And the truth burned: she had never been free of them at all.

And beneath all of it lay the night Meredith had been left on the road, broken and dying, a truth no one wanted to fully face.

The closer Meredith got to remembering, the more dangerous it became.
If she remembered everything, she would have to choose. And I was not sure any of us would survive that choice.

The past wanted her back.
I would not let it take her.
