forward on her chair as if she wanted to reach out to him but didn’t know exactly how, she asked, “How much do you remember about surgery and afterward?”

      After he lifted his glass from the nightstand, he took a few swallows of water, then shook his head. “Not much. I was hoping I’d see that bright light and maybe find answers in it, but no such luck. I went to sleep, and when I woke up, that damn machine was breathing for me. I couldn’t even feel my arms and legs. It was the weirdest thing. Then little by little sensation came back and I felt I was in my body again.”

      When she moved her hand, her bracelet brushed against the arm of the chair. She studied it, then met his gaze again. “I told Sean about how we met, about the demonstration, about Aunt Marcia kicking me out.”

      That surprised him. “Why?”

      “We spent a lot of hours together waiting to hear about your condition. He asked me about the charms on my bracelet and what you were like back then.”

      After a few beats, Brady inquired, “And what did you tell him?”

      “That we fell in love and it happened fast and we were connected from the moment we met. When I told him…”

      He caught the glimmer of sudden emotion in her eyes.

      She gave him another smile. “The memories are still so alive and real. They were comforting when you were in surgery. I could recall what I’d been wearing and what you’d been wearing. I could even smell the scent of British Sterling. Remember? You wore it the night we went dancing…the weekend before you left.”

      Were the memories comforting to her because back then everything had been so easy between them and now nothing seemed easy?

      She pointed to the tiny envelope charm. “Do you remember calling me from Fort Dix to make sure I’d received this?”

      “I remember.” He’d known how much those charms had meant to her. That was why he’d bought another one. “I sent you that charm to remind you that what we had was real.”
