I could feel the fire in his eyes burning holes into me without ever sparing him a glance. My teeth dug into the inside of my cheek until the copper taste of blood crept onto my tongue. "I..." My gaze flicked to him. His brow rose. "I don't remember," I whispered. Every time I looked at him, the same question clawed its way back into my mind, looping like a broken record. Why? I trusted you. Why? Why? Why? "Remember, Miss Jones, you are under oath," the lawyer said. But I'd already made my choice.
