Chapter 74

Ally waits patiently the following day for Benson to come visit. She is not sure what time he usually comes; she was asleep the previous day when he arrived. She only woke when he was already here. She stays in her room for the entire day.

Ally is not really sure if she is allowed to leave the room. Even if she could, her legs do not carry her very far. Gayle checks in frequently with snacks and drinks. Ally found a book that she liked and started reading it. She sits in the winged back chair where Bennet fell asleep and read while listening to the birds and horses outside. The atmosphere is peaceful and even though her loss of memory makes her nervous at times, she feels at peace.

Ally puts the book down on the table and stands up slowly. She still finds it a bit difficult to walk the entire stretch of the room. There is a soft knock on the door and she slowly turns her head to see who is there.

A strange man is standing in the doorway. He is wearing a denim pants and white sneakers.
