Chapter 9

“Do you want me to come pick you up?” Dahlia asked.

“No. I want to stay here. There's a lot for me to figure out. And I still haven't remembered anything about my life.”

“Are you sure? You don't know anything about this man. You really think it's safe to stay there?”

“It's the safest place I know,” she said with a laugh. She didn't know anything else.

She had hoped that hearing Dahlia's voice would spark some memory for her, but so far, it hadn't done anything but make her feel frustrated.

“If you change your mind, I can come down and get you any time.”

“Thank you, Dalia. I can tell that you're a good friend. I just wish I could remember it.”

“It'll come back to you, Em. It has to.”

Emma got off the phone with Dahlia, glad that she had at least reached out to someone, but her life still felt like a big, empty, blank hole. There was nothing there and nothing to hold onto. It was an excruciatingly disorienting feeling. But at least she had Zander. She had something to hold onto that made some kind of sense.

Maybe Dalia was right. Maybe she was being naïve in placing so much significance on a man she’d just met. But he was the only person she knew now, and the only person who mattered.

She wished she could remember the woman she used to be. Was she brave? Was she strong? Or did she compromise herself and her beliefs? She knew that she worked for a startup as a graphic designer. It sounded like a fun job. The idea of doing art in her daily life seemed appealing to her, though she didn't know if she really had any idea how to do any of that anymore. What if her memories never came back? Would she ever be able to work again? Would she have to train in a whole new profession?

Emma stood from the desk with a sigh. She felt so confused and disoriented. She wished that something about her past felt familiar. At least now she had clothes that fit her right and felt like they belonged to her.

She walked downstairs to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She pulled out a bottle of orange juice and poured herself a cup. The cool liquid slid down her throat and the sweet juice entered her bloodstream, giving her a quick burst of energy. She let out a satisfied sigh and smiled. The simplest things in life could be so worthwhile. She set about cleaning up the breakfast dishes, loading everything into the dishwasher and turning it on. Somehow, she remembered how to do these things, and yet she couldn't remember her job, or her childhood, or her friends. It was all so very strange.

She walked back up to her room and picked up the book Zander had been reading to her the night before. There was a bookmark in place where he'd left off. She grabbed the book and walked back downstairs to the living room.
