feet.
“It’s,” I started, my words jumbling as they fought to escape my mouth. “Nice to meet you, Aiden, was it?”
He dropped my hand, instantly leaving an empty feeling coursing through my soul. “Yeah, Aiden. You look so familiar. Have you been to California?”
I shook my head no.
“You must have one of those faces,” he said.
“Must,” I said awkwardly.
How in the hell was I supposed to act around him?
Olivia watched me, smiling and nodding occasionally as Aiden rambled about his own college experience. Scott soon joined us, standing next to me to hold me upright.
“So, you want to come hang out for a little while, Aiden? You can stay at my Grandma’s house tonight if you’d like.”
He nodded. “That’d be great. I have someone with me. Is that ok?”
Scott agreed. Olivia led Aiden away, turning back to check on us as Scott worked on making my legs move again.
“He called me Sade,” I whispered.
He wrapped his arm around me and squeezed. “We’ll help him remember, sis. I promise.”

Juniper and Mark offered to drive me back, to save me from more awkward embarrassment with Aiden.
“It’s understandable,” Juniper said, attempting to reassure me once more I didn’t make a fool of myself.
“I asked him if he remembered.”
“He called you Sade, a name he came up with for you. I would have thought the same thing,” she said.
Burying my head in my hands, I couldn’t believe Scott invited him to Grandma’s. No way could I stay there with him in the house. I would have to go to my parents’ for the night.
“We’re here,” Mark said. He turned, smiling at me. “Sadie, I don’t get all this girl stuff, but I do know Aiden cared for you. You gotta give it time. We’ll fix what Harlow messed up.”
Everyone kept saying that, but no one knew for sure he would get his memory back. Their words were simply for my comfort.
On unsteady limbs, I climbed from the car and we headed inside. The door was still ajar, so I pushed and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the scene in front of me.
Aiden stood with his arm around the waist of a tiny, petite, blonde girl whose laugh was way too loud and fake. She was cute if you liked that sort of girl. Juniper’s eyes grew large as she looked back at me and I felt the power rush through my body.
Immense amounts of anger cause uncontrollable power surges in some sorcerers, and I was about to have one. Scott noticed, racing toward me and pushing me back out the door. He whisked me out of sight and directed me toward the woods behind the house.
Screaming, I threw my hands up and allowed the magic to flow. The energy connected with the ground, flames dancing in waves as they rose and fell with my anger. I let it all out. The amount of power coursing through me was astronomical and I was surprised I wasn’t losing momentum.
“Sadie,” Scott called from about ten feet behind me. “Are you finished?”
Lowering my arms, I turned. I nodded once and stalked past him, back to the house. The sound of water drifted around me as he put out the damage I caused. His feet hitting the ground behind me seconds later told me was running after me, but I didn’t care.
There was only one thing on my mind, and that was getting Aiden back.

Storming back in the house, I stopped when all eyes turned to me. I knew I must look crazy with my windblown hair and pissed off expression, but I didn’t care. Striding toward Aiden, I gave Barbie a glance over and a smirk before grabbing him to me.
With my body pressed against his, I locked my arm around his neck and pulled him to my lips. Years of missing him escaped in the form of a kiss, and I felt his arms wrap around my waist. Moving my mouth with his, I willed him to remember me, to remember us. We broke free when Barbie doll snaked her way in between us and pushed me
