I Had Forgotten Her

Summary

The first person from my old life I ran into after prison was Marina Crowell.

I was crouched at the side of the road, wolfing down a few dollars' worth of takeout.

The woman who used to grovel to anyone who'd look at her was standing over me now in an immaculate designer suit.

The first thing out of her mouth was, "Adrian, you've lost weight."

I looked up at her and didn't say anything.

"Isn't there anything you want to ask me?" Marina said, an edge of impatience under her voice.

I gave a small shake of my head.

There were questions, back when she first put me in prison.
