Memory 3/ Remembering Her Face

I drove straight home, my mind fixated on one memory, swirling about in my head.
A promise she hadn’t been able to keep.
I was at my computer before I realized it, fingers poised to type.
Me: Lots of pasta at this house.
She chuckled. Her: Just when your here, yesterday we had Shepherd’s pie.
Him: um, what’s that?
Her (shocked): You don’t know what shepherd’s pie is?
Me: Should I?
She shook her head disbelievingly. Her: Next time you come over I’ll make it. It was…
She stopped and turned away, biting her lip. I waited silently for her to continue. She turned back to me. Her: It was Mom’s favorite.

I closed out of the document and stared blankly at the wall for a moment, tears rolling silently down my cheeks. She’d never had a chance to make me another dinner.
Slowly, my mind began working again, and when it did, I saw something I’d missed before, as preoccupied as I was.
It was Paige’s face… or rather the look on her face, as I’d left. It was worried… and in pain.

    Good job putting us inside Drew’s mind and letting us see the reason behind his reaction.

    Yes, thanks for the reminding us. I’m glad Drew realizes Paige was in pain. Maybe he’ll go back to her now.

    I agree. I was glad that his inner thoughts not only revealed his memories but also the look on Paige’s face when he stomped off… If he’s thinking about her he’s starting to make progress.

    Hmm..his mind is starting to change. It’s mixing Cynthia and Paige, or rather, replacing Cynthia with Paige?
