I open my eyes "You"

He brushes his thumb over my mouth and leans in to kiss me "Me too I love you, Charlie"

We both inhale deep breaths I can feel his hands shaking, but they aren’t shaking nearly as badly as mine

"Five…four…three…two…"

The only sound I hear is the thrashing of ly silent

My lips are still resting softly against hers Our knees are touching, our eyes are closed, our breath isbetween us as I wait to make my next move I know for a fact that I didn’t lose my memory this time That makes twice in a row…but I have no idea about Charlie

I slowly open my eyes so that I can see what’s in hers Her eyes re to see what her first reaction will be

Will she reins to pull back, slowly, and her eyelids flutter open There’s a mixture of fear and shock in her expression She pulls back a fewmy face She turns her head and looks around the roolances back at me, my heart plummets down my chest like the drop of an anchor She has no idea where she is

"Charlie?"

Her tear-ri to mine and she quickly covers her mouth with her hand I can’t tell if she’s about to scream I should have put a note on the door like we did last time
