Visiting her apartment wasn’t a good idea, Garrick thought as he killed the engine in front of a pretty yellow house across town. It sat on a quiet residential street near the Hawthorne District, a trendy area of offbeat shops, cafés and bookstores.

Surely she would take one look at the place where she’d lived for three years and get her memory back in a single rush. She’d know exactly who she was, and how she’d gotten into this mess, and she would go running off down the street just as fast as her feet would take her. Away from him.

No, he definitely didn’t want to be here.

All during the drive over, Samantha had talked about how excited she was to be getting her memory back. And she’d kept shooting him smoldering looks that as much as said, when I get it back, I’m going to make love with you.

If only she knew how wrong she was.

“You lived on the second floor,” he told her as he helped her from the car.

She stood on the sidewalk, her hopeful gaze running over the structure, a single-family residence long since converted to three apartments. After studying the house for a full minute, she turned and surveyed the tree-lined neighborhood before looking at the house again.

“Remember anything?” he asked.

Samantha shook her head, obviously disappointed. “No, nothing.”

He put an arm around her shoulder and drew her close, feeling selfishly relieved she hadn’t, yet wanting to give her comfort. He pointed at the flowers bordering the front lawn. “You and Jenny planted those last year. They’re daylilies.”

She stared at them for a long time. “Why daylilies?”

“I think Hugh recommended them because they’re easy to grow.” Garrick led her up to the porch, where he produced her key and unlocked one of the front doors. “The place is still yours for another two weeks,” he told her, snapping on a light to reveal a steep staircase.

He led the way upstairs to a spacious, airy room. The apartment was simple but well constructed, with good proportions and a lot of light. On the left, through an archway, were the kitchen and eating area. On the right, the bedroom.

Samantha looked around, tapping her chin as she walked slowly through the main room.

“Your couch was over there,” Garrick said, indicating a section of the wall. “You had a television across from it, along with a few plants.”

He followed her into the dining area and watched while she poked around the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator, looked into her bare cupboards and ran water in the sink.

It felt strange to see her apartment so empty, he thought. He’d only visited a few times, but he could easily remember how it had looked: lived in and comfortable, with piles of magazines and books…a jigsaw puzzle on the dining table…dishes and cups in the glass-fronted kitchen cupboards…vintage posters of forties film stars. She’d put her stamp on the place, but now it was just an empty apartment.

When Samantha wandered into her bedroom, Garrick hung back in the doorway, leaning against the jamb.
