“And you’re lying right now.”
“The one perk of you having amnesia is you’ll never know.” I grinned as I buckled my seatbelt.
“You’re cute.” She shot me a look.
“I know. You used to tell me all the time.”
“And I’m pretty positive that I didn’t mean it in a loving way.”
“Oh, you did,” I said.
“Highly doubt it.” A smirk crossed her beautiful lips.
I laughed as I drove us home.
After we got home, Charlotte went upstairs to lie down, and I grabbed a beer from the refrigerator. Stepping out onto the patio, I saw my brothers over at Christian’s.
“How did it go at the office?” Jackson asked as I sat down.
“Bro, I think some things are starting to come back.”
“What do you mean?” Christian asked.
“First, the couch in her office triggered flashes.”
“Shit.” Nathan shook his head. “Of everything in her office, the couch triggers something?”
“What did she remember?” Jackson asked.
“She couldn’t make it out. But I couldn’t take the expressway back because there was an accident and cars were backed up for miles. She told me to stop and turn around when we passed her old apartment building. She said she knew that place but didn’t know how or why. So, the landlord was there and let her see her old apartment.”
“That’s awkward,” Christian spoke.
“It was vacant. New tenants are moving in next week. Anyway, I played a song for her while we were there to see if it would trigger anything. She told me the same song had been in her head since last night, and she never remembered hearing it.”
“Interesting,” Jackson said. “Let’s hope it continues.”
“Bro, I got to thinking about something,” Nathan said. “Have you told her about her brother yet?”
“No. Not yet.”
“Don’t you think you should?” Jackson asked.
“I will. She’s been through so much. I don’t want to dump that on her right now. By the way, I’m coming back to work on Monday.”
“You are?” Nathan’s brows furrowed.
“Charlotte insisted. She said she’s coming to the office right after her appointment with Dr. Bancroft.”
“If she’s up to it, I don’t see any reason why she shouldn’t,” Jackson spoke. “The sooner she can return to her life, the better.”
“Bro, she’s been having outbursts,” I said.
“That’s fairly common, Conner. Don’t take anything she says personally.”
“I’m trying not to, but it’s hard sometimes.”
Christian reached over and hooked his arm around me.
