Author's note: This is from Duke's point of view

Serina's hand in mine was the best thing that happened to me in days, and I relished the feeling of her warmth meeting mine.
"Let's go inside."
Serina's words pulled me out of my daze.
I lifted her hand and pressed the back of her palm against my chest. I didn't want to let go.
I knew it was silly, but this was the most physical contact we had in days.
"Can we stay here longer? I really want to hold your hand." At least her hand. Going inside meant getting ready for sleep and I didn't want to sleep in the spare bedroom again. I didn't want to part from her.
"You look tired. We should rest.", she said.
"I can't rest with all this going on." It was the truth. I barely slept since Serina woke up without memories of me… without memories of us.
Serina smiled sadly. "I'm not getting good rest either. It feels like I'm missing something. Or someone. The bed is too large for one person."
