“Siren? Siren, are you okay?” Langston’s voice says.

I blink rapidly, looking at Langston. “I remember.”

“You remember where you hid the box?”

“No, I remember meeting you and Zeke the first time.” I gasp as I stand up abruptly from the ground. My head is light, and I’m dizzy as I try to process everything.

Langston grabs my elbow, keeping me steady and on my feet.

“Thanks,” I mumble.

“Sit down and let me make you some tea, then you can tell me what happened.”

I let Langston lead me to a large sofa, and I sit. Langston studies me closely for a second before leaving me alone.

I’ve met Zeke and Langston before. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I have memories that I can’t remember.

“Here, drink this.” Langston hands me a cup of tea. I take it and sip it all down quickly, even though it’s hot and burns my throat.

Langston sits next to me, takes my cup from me, pours more hot water in, and returns it to me, saying, “Slowly this time.”

His eyes give me a warning to drink slowly, so I take a sip.

“What did you remember?”

“I remember coming to the bar. I remember sitting on Zeke’s lap.” I blush and look at Langston. “I remember falling for Zeke instantly.”

Langston smiles back at me and leans back, drinking his own tea.

I raise an eyebrow. “You know drinking tea isn’t the manliest thing you could be doing. You could drink alcohol if you want, I don’t mind.”

“I don’t want to drink alcohol, and I’m perfectly comfortable in my own manhood.”

I smile at that.

“I’m glad you remember meeting Zeke. I’ve been so annoyed that neither of you could remember while I’m stuck remembering witnessing you two exchanging sappy words and constantly flirting.”

I tuck my hair behind my ear as I lean back on the couch with my cup of tea resting in my lap. “I can’t believe how much our lives have been intertwined this whole time. I can’t believe how different my life could have been if I decided to take a chance on Zeke then, instead of now.”

“You can’t think like that. If you and Zeke had started dating then, you would have been on the yacht when Zeke was shot. You would have thought he was dead along with us. No one would have been there to save him. You couldn’t be together then because you needed to save him so you could be together now.”

I look at Langston sitting next to me. I don’t know how I could have ever mistaken him for a monster, when he’s clearly a kind man who truly cares about his family.

“Thanks for saying that. I needed that.”

“Don’t,” Langston tenses.

“Don’t what?”

“Don’t think I’m a good man. I’m not your savior. I’m barely your friend. Don’t ever mistake me for more than I am.”

“Who are you, then?”

“I’ll protect you, but I’ll also look out for my own interests. I’ll do horrible things that I’ll never explain to you or anyone else. I’ll protect you, but don’t think that protection lasts forever like Zeke’s.
