I sat up, my chest heaving as I struggled to calm myself. I ran a hand over my face and pushed back my hair, barely noticing that my skin and hair were damp. I blinked, my mind filled with confusion as the fire crackled near me. This wasn’t the same cabin in my dream. There were no fur blankets. This cabin would have fit dozens of times over in the cabin in my memories. There were no simple furniture pieces built by Zain’s hands here nor a section of the cabin carved out for me and my new things. There were no weapons or spoils of war. I was back in the present, and my brain finally caught up with that.

A possessive arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me against Zain. I felt lips pressing a reassuring kiss on the top of my head as I clung to his chest. I didn’t need to ask, but I did so anyway as if I had to fill in the silence and remind myself that I was here now and not in the past.

“You saw.”

“I saw,” he confirmed. “Both your and my viewpoints of that moment.”

“We were going to leave. O-or was it a demon trick?” I asked, my voice catching.

“No. I was ready to leave it all. Kidama, demons aren’t supposed to love, but I felt it. I loved you then as much as I love you now.”

“What happened?” I asked, my fingers tightening on fabric as I processed the new memory. I felt it, too. I loved him, and that love was as strong now as it was then. I also felt the anguish I had felt when admitting the truth about my druid ability. I had been lied to about my supposed Allure ability, and there was an aching wound that didn’t feel like it would heal anytime soon. Was that the reason I had been fleeing? Was I fleeing because of my true power? Frustration laced my voice as I whispered, “Each memory brings more questions.”

Even now, when it seemed like I was regaining my memories, the details were sharply fading. I added dully, “Even as I get my memories back, it seems like they quickly fade away.”

He considered this, admitting, “My unlocked memories are the same way. But the memories I have that are yours still feel vivid.”

I pulled my brows together, murmuring more to myself, “Why is that?”

“What of the cave? Are those memories fading?”

My eyes widened. “No. Those memories still feel fresh.”

He nodded as if his theory was proven correct. “Memories naturally fade over time. I swore I would never forget my mother when I sent her away, but I can’t remember exact details about her despite my vow. I remember living for her smile, but I can no longer picture it. I remember she always looked at me with love in her eyes, but I can’t remember the exact shape of them. I can’t remember her laugh exactly, but I remember it bringing me relief.
