Chapter 37

Xavier ~

I can't believe that she can't remember anything. It feels like we just met and we are starting over. At least this is not permanen. However it will take a while until her memory comes back. Till then I have to show her around, reintroduce her to everyone.

"So what are you going to show me ?" She asks me

"Let's just start with the ground floor okay ?" I ask her and her eyes light up as she nods.

"So this is the dining-room" I tell her as I open the door.

"It's soooo big " she says and walks around a little bit.

"Why does it have to be so big ?" She asks me

"There are many people in here so it is needed " I explain and she just keeps walking around, touching lightly things around her.

"Why is this table set ? Are we going to eat anytime soon ?" She asks me again

"Well yes but you are not eating down here " I tell her

"Why not ?" She asks in surprise.

"Because you shouldn't be around crowded places " I explain

"This is not the real reason Xavier. You just don't want anyone to meet me. Are you ashamed of me? " She says, her eyes tear up.

"Of course not Aria. I am just saying that you shouldn't be with many people until you are fully recovered " I walk towards her but she walks backwards.

"Stop lying " she says angrily.

"I am not lying. I am telling you the truth and I want you to listen to me. That's what the doctor said and you need to listen to him. I know you want to be here with everyone but I promise you that when you start feeling better you can eat here with all of us " I tell her

"Fine " she says

"Let's go somewhere else " I suggest and she follows me outside.

"The weather looks bad " she says when she stands in front of the window.

"I know "

"Where are we going now ?" She asks me

"You will see " I say as we start walking up the stairs.

"Your room is that way " she tells me when we walk the opposite way of my room.

"I know. I just want to show you something else " I say

"Only few people have been here so we should keep it that way " I whisper and she nods before giggling.

Only me and my parents know about this place. I haven't been in here in a long time. I find the key and unlock the wooden door. When the door opens Aria gasps.

"You have an indoor garden in your house ?" She asks me shocked

"Yes. It was my mother's idea " I say

"Wow. This is amazing "she tells me

"Who looks after it ?"She asks

"There are some gardeners who look after it " I say

"If this was my house I would spend most of my time in this room " she admits and I laugh.

"I used to come here a lot when I was younger " I say

"There are flowers that I have never seen before. Nothing compared to our garden back home " she says

"Can you remember that ?" I ask her
