We are arriving at the Griffith Observatory, Mathias tells me, in a week or so.
It was our spot. Mine and Jill's.
Will she regain her memories?
It's highly unlikely. I don't know what the crazy scientists gave the "contestants," but it sure is strong.
I find myself conflicted. A part of me wants her to remember. The other part of me is afraid.
What will she think of me when - or if - she remembers?
Will she speak to me again?
I've been playing with a crazy idea.
The idea of telling her that I love her. Maybe get some time in with her before, if she does, regain her memory.
But that will be selfish, won't it? Because I can never be with her. I banish the thought the moment it enters my mind.
Mathias doesn't think I deserve any time with her, judging by the dirty look he gives me when Jill isn't looking.
I don't know if I do, either.
