Silverlight Terrace When I'm gone put it in stone "He left nothing behind"

The sudden shock had stolen her words, and she took a careful second to reign them in. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine," she tried to reassure, but hell - with that look, she could only imagine what he must've been thinking. She wasn't insane - and the best way to salvage his perception of her was to tell him everything straight up. So in her typical way, she did. "I've been looking for you guys for months. After the war, I took a fall into the river. Don't know how long I was under, but the impact, or maybe the lack of oxygen - either way, I conveniently forgot most everything I knew. It's all been coming back in little pieces, here and there. But Sebastian - " Sebastian - and she shook her head again with a clutch of silence because her chest stung with the remorse that she had ever forgot him. It didn't matter that it hadn't been her choice.

"Sebastian. He's alive?" Hesitation filled her voice, because even though Colt spoke of him like he was, that persistent doubt still chewed at her ears.
