  As soon as I processed the words, the tea cup dropped from my hands. After the second of shock, I looked down, expecting to find a stain on the bed, but instead I saw him holding it. There wasn't even a drop in the sheets.

"My lady, are you alright?" he asked quietly, delicately setting the cup back on the tray and kneeled down before me. I'd never seen him look so worried.

"Yes... I just... remembered something else..." I answered with a fading voice. He appeared to relax somewhat, but his anticipation didn't dissolve.

"What was it?" he asked, placing a hand on my arm. "Please tell me everything you think of. It will help the memories come back."

"A man... I can't remember anything past that. It left me."

That was a lie. I did have an image after that, but I did not want to speak of him. He was large man with hair the color of rose gold.

"Estella, you're shaking," Sebastian whispered, taking my hand into his.

"I'll be alright," I told him with a smile. His voice seemed to block the memory right away. All I could think of now was the feeling of excitement from him calling me by just my name. "Now, who exactly are the guests?"
