"Do you remember us?" Norman asked, looking around the room. Emmet ran his fingers through his wet hair before quickly grabbing a chair and placing it in front of me, gently tapping on it while looking at me.

I didn't take it and turned my attention to Azura. Standing in the room with his lost love, I felt small. This was the same reason he had forgotten about me when I needed him the most. So he didn't have to act like he now remembered me.

"I never forget the people I call family," she said. Her voice was so soft and raspy that even I got goosebumps.

"Honey, sit here," Maximus grabbed another chair and placed it next to me, whispering in my ear. I gave him a nod and sat down while Norman took the seat Emmet had placed for me.

"I see a new face too. I don't think we've met before," she smiled, looking right at me, and I felt a chill run down my spine.
