THIRTEEN

SATURDAY. GAME DAY. TIME for another piece of my memory to fall into place… Hopefully.

I made it to the stadium a little early, hoping for some time to check out the seat listed on the ticket stub my mom gave me and look for a line into the gate that wasn’t half a mile long. Giving up, I slipped into the nearest line and leaned against the chain-link fence that surrounded the stadium. I stood behind a burly man. He seemed rather friendly with everyone. Then he leaned against the fence with me.

“Big fan?” he asked, clearly noting my lack of game day gear.

He was brawny, not burly like my mistaken observation of him from behind. He wore a light jacket in team colors—blue, silver, and white—that made me wonder if muscle didn’t act as an insulator. It was very cold, but that didn’t seem to faze him. His face had one large streak of blue painted in a diagonal. It made his eyes pop in a stone grey color that held specks of blue and green. His hair was light blond and shaved close to his head.

Although this man didn’t seem particularly familiar, I trusted him. There weren’t many people like him around me. Warmth radiated from his friendly smile. A calming and welcoming energy pulsed from him.

I smiled. “This may seem odd, but I don’t really know.”

“Really?” he asked.

“Yeah.”

“First game then?”

I shook my head. “I lost my memory in an accident. My mom gave me a ticket stub from a game five years ago that I apparently went to.” I brushed my hair from my temple and let him see the scar that was forming. The stitches had fallen out, leaving a bright pink, puffy line.

He whistled. “That’s a perdy one.”

“Yeah,” I said. “She thought coming here would help me remember something from my past. I just can’t figure out what or how.”

“Did you lose all of your memory?”

I frowned. “Just most of the last six years of my life.”

“And you don’t remember anything at all from that span of time?”

I looked at him, just to gauge and reassess my impressions of him. He was trustworthy and wanted me to know it. I could tell that about him. A gift I have. He gave a subtle nod toward me. I nodded back.

“Most of it I don’t.”

He smiled, as did his eyes. “Well, I’d say you are in for a really exciting game. If you weren’t a fan before now, you most certainly will be by the time this game is over.”

I smiled back. “Yeah, but if I could get more clues to my past, that would be great also.”

“Name’s Blake Harringson.” He held out his hand.

“Elsabetha Ehlers—uh…Ellery. Sorry. You’d think I’d forgotten my name, too.”

He smiled and shrugged, completely judgment withholding. “That’s all right. Sometimes I forget things, too. It’s the nature of our minds.” He pointed to his temple. “So did you come alone, then?”

“I’m meeting someone, actually.”

“Boyfriend?”

“Ha! No. Not in this, or the next, lifetime. He happens to hold some keys to my past.
