Aisha and Ana.

I furrow my forehead and look at Ana with confusion.

"What do you mean? Ana?"

Ana sits on the balcony railing. She looks at me and grabs my face. She looks into my eyes and smiles.

"I know that you weren't with us for the past week, I can tell by looking into your eyes. For the past few days I have been staring into your eyes and I saw nothing. There are no memories of you or thoughts. I was confused at first and then I can tell by the way you look at me. It felt different from the usual. But now, after I look into your eyes just for a second, I can see all your thoughts and memories again."

Ana then puts her forehead on mine.

"Am I right?"

I smile and nod.

"Yes, you're right."

Ana smiles and then she looks up to see the stars. She's not saying anything and just keeps holding my hand while staring at the stars. I lift her hand and look at her.

"Do you want to hear my story, Ana?"
