“Who was the man who died?”
She knew, somehow, that the answer was vital.
“If you really don’t remember, then this isn’t the time to get into that.” His voice was gentle but firm. “Tomorrow, we’ll—”
“Tell me now,” she insisted. “Please.”
“He was your father, Sara.” The man gathered her into his arms while she stiffened in shock. “He was Casper Shephard, Chief of Police of Santa Gregoria.”
“Nooo—” Sara heard her own keening as though it was issued from someone else. Her father? Even seeing him on the floor that way, lifeless, she hadn’t remembered him. Still couldn’t.
“I’m so sorry,” the man whispered in her ear.
“You cared about him, too,” she said brokenly.
“Yes. And I care about you. Sara, do you remember yet who I am?”
“I’m sorry. I truly am. But, no, I don’t remember.”
“My name is Jordan Dawes. Yours is Sara Shepard Dawes. We were married today, Sara—just before you were hit on the head and your father was killed.”
