REMINISCENT

I frowned, thrown off "Do i...remember?"

"Do you remember..." she starts but her voice falters. She glances down at the sand, biting her lip debating whether to even continue.
She then takes a shaky breath and finally looks up. Eyes locking with mine " do you even remember how you got it?"

Her question hits me like a slap. I open my mouth, then close it, my brows furrowing as I force my brain to rewind. How did I get it?

Nothing. Not a single clear memory.

She steps closer, her voice trembling, but the edge of anger sharpening her words. "Or when? Or where? Or for what reason? Or what it even means?!"

I flinch at her tone, but I can't answer her. I try. God, I try..

I look down at the sand beneath my feet, forcing myself to dig through every memory, every hazy night out, every stupid decision I might've made-but nothing. Not a single moment of how I got it surfaced. I let out a frustrated breath and rake a hand through my hair, feeling the panic rise like bile in my throat.

When I finally lift my head to speak, Ashley's already staring at me, and I can tell-she knows my answer before I say a word. "You don't remember," she says softly, nodding like she expected it all along.
