THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOVED
______THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOST
THE THINGS I'VE HELD SACRED
______________THAT I'VE DROPPED
_____ Ahren responded without hesitation. “No. I disappeared with Chimera,” he said, as if this explained everything. It had, but he was replacing cause with effect. The willingness to vanish had been intentional—he didn’t belong in their world anymore. Not with the scent of the ocean in his hair and Europe deep under his skin. Not while he stared out with demons in his eyes and bitterness in his heart. He lived for the here and now, and not what had been. Not anymore. All he had from the past were scars, a tattoo, and the necklace he had never taken off.
_____ “Do you remember anything from that night?” He asked suddenly, eyes downcast.
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
