Branded

by Rob Cornell

  She covered her mouth with a hand.

  “You’re sure you don’t remember anything?” I asked.

  She slowly shook her head.

  “It’s okay,” I said. I kissed the back of her hand. “You’re here. That’s all that matters.”

  Fiona rested a hand on my shoulder.

  I took a deep and shaky breath. I tried not to let my disappointment blacken an otherwise wonderful moment. Just because she couldn’t remember anything now, didn’t mean it couldn’t come back over time. And even if it didn’t, Sly’s potion had worked after all.

  I wrapped my arms around her. She hugged me back. Despite all I’d been through, I had never felt better than right now.

  I had my mom back.
