During the hour when my true memories returned, I could always recall that the torc I’d carried for so long had stolen away my love for Garret. I knew I didn’t remember this fact when I was other-me. I knew that because of the curse, I didn’t love Garret for twenty-three hours of the day. It would have been easier if I didn’t love Garret at all anymore. The one hour I loved Garret had become the curse, not the twenty-three hours I forgot him.

The change that night brought waves of guilt and shame along with the pain. I understood what I’d done, how in that moment with Brady there was no competition, no thoughts of Garret, no consideration, because at the moment I shared myself with Brady, Garret had meant absolutely nothing to me. Reason told me that I should forgive myself, let it go, but I couldn’t. The memories were there, and during that one hour when I was both the woman who loved Garret and the one who did not, the memories ate me alive.

Garret didn’t come to see me on our first night back in Edinburgh. It seemed he didn’t want to talk to me even though I was myself. I tried to understand. I told myself that it made things easier for him, but I loathed him for making life more difficult for me. All I wanted was to go back to Mr. Grey’s house, have him translate my father’s scroll so I could have the answers I needed to make the world right again, no matter what Garret thought. But Garret was right: it was wiser to wait and see if Mr. Grey betrayed us first. Being patient was difficult, but for the one hour a day that I was my true self, I would do anything to make Garret happy.
