He said he loved mango tapioca pudding. But in truth, it was Phoebe who adored it. He was just ‘forced’ to love it, that’s all.
“Just a little bite,” Colin whispered, coaxingaway.
Dexter stood there, rigid, trying to find the words. “Phoebe...” “I thought | made it clear to you, ‘Phoebe’ is allergic to mangoes.” Ignorance was forgivable once, but to still forget? Love seems to falter in the details.

“Dexter, you're just as selfish as ever. You don’t love anyone; you only love yourself,” | said with biting sarcasm, gripping Colin’s hand tighter. “Didn't anyone tell you love can fade? Especially when it’s built on your lies.” He went to such lengths to deceive, yet he couldn't cherish what he had won.
Dexter's hands fell limply by his sides, wanting to say he loved Phoebe. But his throat felt too raw to speak.
In his quest to make Phoebe love him, to becthe lover in her heart, he had tried so hard.

Colin watched my back, the way | held his hand, and smiled.
“Phoebe, we're going home.” “Phoebe, he can’t protect you,” Dexter called out from the doorway. “The loss of memory isn’t a choice we can make, but you can.
