Carina slowly went quiet contemplating what Gears had just told her as well as meeting Gears' wolf Jynx. Then she went as rigid as a board. “How did you know his name?”

“I forgot it was there, I hate remembering, it’s painful to remember.”

Gears ground his mouth against hers again.

“Well, let me help you forget.”
