The two of them reacted the moment her eyes opened, rushing to her side. "You're awake?"

Brandon Crawford sat down in the chair by the bed and looked down at her. "Do you remember what happened? Are you hurting anywhere?"
Summer Thorne's mind was a blank. Just as she was about to shake her head, countless fragments suddenly flooded her mind—
From the crash itself, to the moments before, and even further back…
The torrent of memories was overwhelming, and in an instant, Summer Thorne's eyes welled with tears she couldn't hold back.
