Chapter 263

• LOST MEMORIES
• AURORA’S POINT OF VIEW.
• I did not know how to react or breathe. My hold on her loosened, my body pulling away slightly, so I leaned back. Mom’s tears flowed freely, her eyes filled with sorrow. “I’m so sorry, Aurora.” She sobbed. “I wish there could have been a different way to do this. But you were so… broken. I tried my best; I told the doctors no, that I did not want you to lose a part of yourself. Then your nightmare started. You would wake up often in the dead of night; that’d be if I could ever get you to sleep.
