"Do you think think I will be able to celebrate while knowing you almost got kidnapped?" he says as we slowly

"I just love how humble you are," | point out, making him chuckle.

"But it's not about my humbleness, Rosie. | simply knew we were going to win when | spotted you, because |

"| remember." My voice is low. | remember a lot of things now. I'm not sure if | have remembered everything or

not, but | do know that | remember enough. Enough to makeregret every single décision | have made ever

since the accident. Enough to makewish | could turn back tand never let Silas go.

"You got your memory back, right?" Silas asks with a change in his tone. | don't know how to describe it, but I do

know that it sounds warm and soothing.

"Why haven't y

heartbeats start to quicken. t you told me?" he asks. | can lie to him. | can tell him that | didn't find the right time

to do it. I can tell him that | have been busy. However, | can't convince myself to do that. I'm tired of hiding a lot

of things from him. It doesn't feel right. "Because | have caused you enough damage and I'm trying to do

anything | can to help you move on from what | have done," | whisper, looking down. My heart is already heavy,

and my eyes are watery.

He starts to say something but gets interrupted by a knock on the door. My parents walk inside with a police

officer.

"We will talk later." Silas kisses my forehead, before standing up. "I'll wait for you outside." | nod and watch him

as he exits the room.

Luckily, it doesn't take long for the police officer to take my statement and once he's done, | get out of bed,

ready to leave. When | walk out of the room, | find Silas waiting for me. "I'm all good now. You should go party

with your teammates. The girls already toldabout the party that gets thrown when the team wins at the

team's house. You shouldn't miss it," | tell

him.

"We were planning on taking her hwith us. We don't think it's safe for her to be on her own after what

happened," Dad

says.

"I promise | won't leave her on her own," Silas tells them. "If you wantto bring her hafterwards, | can do

that. | just want her to have fun."

ium and Dad look at each other for a moment and | see Mum giving Dad a small nod.

"She's safe with Silas. He won't leave her on her own." Mum assures Dad who finally nods. "It will be late to drive

her to our place at night. Maybe you guys can cover tomorrow. Just lock the door of your apartment well."

| can stay with her and sleep on the couch," Silas offers. If we end up fully making up, he won't be sleeping on

the couch, and | think my parents aren't naive to believe that he will take the couch.

"Sounds like a good idea." Mum nods, but the sly smirk on her face doesn't escape my notice.

After hugginggoodbye, my parents leave, and Silas and | make our way to his car.
