I remembered feeling lost, alone, and desperate. I remembered calling Sarah, but she hadn't picked up. And then... I couldn't remember anything else.I got out of bed and stumbled over to the bathroom. As I splashed cold water on my face, I realized that I needed to get out of this hotel and trash the memories it held of me and my godfather.

"I didn't mean to cause that man and his family so much pain."He shook his head. "But you did. You've caused more than pain, Alexa. You've ruined his life and his future."I felt a wave of despair wash over me. I knew he was right.
