Alex
He had his first real memory. Not a flash. A real one.
Some restaurant. He didn’t know the name or where it was, but he could see it clear as day. They debated about ordering the same meal. She looked so beautiful watching people dancing. The box with that diamond necklace. That’s why she always has her fingers on that spot. She didn’t have it anymore.
He remembered the dancing, taking her down. She was nervous at first, but was a natural.
Then, the song.
He knew it meant more to them both. He remembered being too nervous to sing the words to her, but whispered them that time.
That was it. Nothing more. Nothing before or after, but that was a memory to treasure if there ever was one.
