(Shannon's POV)

'I got her calmed down and she's sleeping now.' Brittany said when she returned.

'I guess I pushed her a little too hard.'

'Yeah, but you sure as hell broke through.'

'I think she remembers more than she's letting on though, maybe she doesn't trust it yet.'

'Imagine how you'd feel having that sprung on you. She'll get there.'

'I hope so.'

'I have a clearer picture of why things ended. While your statement about jealousy and stupidity was a fair assessment, what you described cuts some women pretty deep. It can wipe out all the good things that came before.'

'Yeah, I can't believe I was ever that lame. She never gave me any reason to doubt her. Wait! What you said about wiping things out, do you think maybe that's why it's so difficult for her remembering us together?'

'That's not how I should have said it. What I meant was bad outweighs good and something like that cancelled out the rest. You'll just have to wait and see how things unfold.'

'I hope she can forgive me.' I said as tears of regret stung my eyes.

'It shows Shannon, believe me it shows.' Brittany said patting my arm.

'I need to check on her.' I said making a beeline for the stairs.

I stood in awe as I entered the bedroom. Missi was curled up on what had once been her side of the bed. I'd imagined her there countless times, but this was actually real. I asked the powers that be for one more chance with her. I wanted to touch her, but left her undisturbed and went back downstairs.

'I'm very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to get through to her Brittany.' I said clearing my throat and plopping down on the couch.

'Someone had to get her away from him. Maybe this is how it was supposed to happen. Maybe those stars you shy away from realigned and made it possible.' She said winking.

'I believe you're wise beyond your years. Missi and I meeting was a chance encounter too.'

'Then there you have it.' She chuckled.

'I don't think you should go back there for a while. Michael's gonna be pissed when he figures out she's gone. What if he'd push you to find out what you know?'

'I'll tell him you and I went away and I have no clue. If he tries to cause any problems, I'll call the police.'

'I can help you relocate. I think you'd be safer since we don't know how dangerous he might be. I drug you into this and I'd never forgive myself if anything bad happened.'

'I appreciate the offer Shannon, but I think you should be more concerned about me attacking him.'

'I'd love to rearrange his face too, but for once I'm willing to let it go and not complicate the situation. She's safe and I'd like to know you are too.'

We talked a while longer until there was no denying the sounds coming from our stomachs weren't from extreme hunger. I ordered some sandwiches and got Missi her all-time favorite. I went outside and called Jared while we waited for it to be delivered.

'She's remembered quite a bit so far.' I said happily.

'That's great. I hope it continues.' Jared replied.
