Arwen had many complaints, but Ryan was not worthy of hearing them. So, she didn't waste her breath on blame or bitterness. Instead, she brought the conversation back to the reason she had agreed to meet him today.
She needed answers.
The answers only he could give.
She wanted to know every piece of the memory she had lost. Every moment that had been stolen from her.
And right now, the only person who could give her this missing piece of the puzzle … was Ryan.
Ryan was the only one who could tell her how she ended up beside him when it was Aiden who brought her to the hospital.
"If it wasn't you who brought me to the hospital," she asked, her voice calm but laced with quiet urgency, "then how come you were there when I opened my eyes?"
Ryan swallowed. He wanted to defend himself to explain his intentions. But Arwen wasn't here to ease his guilt or hear his excuses. She didn't owe him that.
Feeling the guilt spread through him, he tried his best to stay calm.
