He wasn’t asleep. She knew he wasn’t asleep. He was too still. And he was barely breathing.

But he didn’t want to talk, so Lorelei went to bed. She wasn’t ready to sleep yet, but with the laptop in the living room, she didn’t have much to do.

She was restless and frustrated. She’d gotten used to curling up with Vinnie and talking for a while before they went to sleep. And she’d gotten used to his hands wandering her body and settling her before she fell asleep.

Lorelei replayed the memory of her and Karli over and over again in her mind. She wanted more memories. She wanted to know who she was.

Not knowing who she was… It was lonely. Like living a stranger’s life. Even with others telling her who she was, Lorelei felt like she was alone. And she was starting to think it wasn’t on accident.

Karli and Adam never mentioned a relationship. No one who claimed to care about her showed up. She saw no evidence of another person in her apartment, and there was nothing to suggest she had a significant other in her life.

Ever.

A stranger found her. A man she’d never met before, a man who knew her from work, went looking for her and found her. No one else did. What did that say about who Lorelei was? What did that say about her life?

She didn’t want to be alone. She didn’t want to lie on her couch and die. She didn’t want to be taken because she didn’t have anyone.

It didn’t matter that she didn’t know who she was before, Lorelei knew she didn’t want to be that woman again. She didn’t want to be someone who existed separate from everyone else in her life.

Karli had Cade. Adam had Raina. Jessica had Braden. Frannie had Marcus. Even the women Lorelei hadn’t met yet had people. They were paired up. They had their person who would stop at nothing to find them if they went missing.

Lorelei had no one.

Except Vinnie.

But did she have him? Would he be there for her after she was healed? He acted like he wanted her to be there. Before, at least.

Lorelei swung her legs out of the bed and reached for her crutches. She grabbed a blanket and pillow from the bed and tucked them under her arm.

Each step was a challenge. The blanket slipped, so she stopped and wrapped it around her shoulders. The pillow fell. She thought about leaving it behind, but she knew she needed it.

One step after another, she slowly made her way to the door. Everything hurt, and not because of her injuries. Because she knew she wasn’t who she wanted to be. But she was going to change that.

She moved out of the room, one step at a time. Vinnie was snoring softly on the couch, actually asleep this time. He looked peaceful, like nothing could get to him.

Lorelei was a little jealous. When she first got home, she was angry that he was pretending to sleep and didn’t want to talk to her, but now she just missed him.
