Grant pinched his eyebrows, annoyance brimming over the man’s boast. “Really? She didn’t remember until I was here. Maybe I should claim credit.”

“Why would you have anything to do with her memories of me?”

“Okay, okay, that’s enough,” Julia said as they argued again. “Let’s just…take this as a win no matter how it happened.”

Grant patted her hand. “Julia’s right. We should just be happy her memories are returning. Slowly, but hopefully surely.”

“Oh, I’m very happy,” Kyle said, a smug smile on his face.

He bit his tongue, holding back from saying something that may upset Julia. “Well, I think we should let Julia rest after that. I’m afraid that took a toll.”

“Really, I’m fine. In fact, I’d like to keep trying to get more memories.”

“No,” Grant said. “I’m not sure that’s a good idea. I think we should just let them come naturally. They seem to be painful for you. Continuing to push may do more damage.”

Julia heaved a sigh. “But–”

“For once, I agree with him. We shouldn’t push it. But I’m happy to stay. Maybe just talking will bring more of your memories back.” Kyle flicked his gaze to Grant. “Unless you’re going to put a stop to it because you’d like to control the situation.”

Grant clenched his jaw again, one hand curling into a fist. “I do not control Julia. But I do care about her wellbeing. And if something is going to hurt her, I will put a stop to it. If you want to call that controlling, go ahead.”

Julia rose and patted his arm. “It’s not controlling.” She shot Kyle a glance as he stood.

“Fine. Then I suppose it’s okay if I stay.”

“Actually, why don’t we both stay? Unless there’s some reason you’d put a stop to it, Kyle?”

Kyle shot him an annoyed glance. “No, of course not. I think we should let Julia decide.”

He squeezed her shoulder as he offered her a consoling smile. “Whatever you want us to do, Julia. Whatever you’re comfortable with.”

She flicked her gaze between them when another voice interrupted. “Whoa. Looks like I came at a good time,” Sierra said as she hovered in the doorway. “You two look like you’re ready to kill each other again.”

“We’re fine, Sierra,” Grant said. “Good news, though.”

Sierra stomped her way into the room. “Yeah, it really looks like it.”

“It is,” Kyle said. “Julia remembered something new.”

Sierra grinned at her. “Really, Julia? What was it? Wait, what were they both? I never heard what the first one was.”

Julia licked her lips, her eyes going to Grant.

“It’s not important,” Grant said.

“Do you know?” she asked.

Grant nodded. “I do.”

“Then why can’t I? I want to know! What is it? Your wedding?”

“No, Sierra,” Julia said with a wrinkled nose. “I remembered being somewhere with Kyle.”

“Both times?” Sierra asked.

“Yes.”

“Both memories of me, sorry, half-sis.”
