Marie raised an eyebrow. "What, you wantto stay single for life because you forgot about me?" Yeah, right.
She didn't bother hiding her disgust anymore.
His stare turned even icier, but before he could speak, Marie continued, “Or are you about to tellthere's actually a woman on this plwho'd stay loyal to a man who forgot her for five years? And even if she existed, would he even be worth it?" Would he even be worth it she bit down hard on those words, each syllable laced with scorn.
It wasn't even clear whether the mockery was aimed at Dan, or at herself.

Tell her again how that lines up with a man who's lost his memory? Dan said calmly, "My people toldyou were obsessed withfive years ago." with awer even b The second she heard that, her expression went even colder.
Obsessed with him? Wasn't he the one who couldn't let go back then? What a joke.
She tilted her head and neered, "What are you trying to say? Five Cars ago...?" The moment those words cup, her entire face turned frosty.
Her mind flashed involuntarily to those recent memories in Frapucu.
The image of him whispering intimately to that woman. The soft smile that woman gave him. It still felt like a punch straight to the gut.
It only made her more certain that everything she and Dan had shared five years ago nothing but a bad joke. Now he wanted to talk about five years ago? The chill in Marie's eyes deepened.
They locked eyes.

Dan said, "Until I figure out what really happened, you can't marry Derrick.' Marie scoffed. “What, and I'm supposed to listen to you? Who the hell do you She stared him down, unbothered.

"Your wedding's in a few weeks. What exactly are you trying to figure out? Or maybe the better question is why even bother figuring it out?" She narrowed her eyes.
Seriously. What was he planning to do with this 'figuring out'? From what she'd heard in Frapucu, Dan and Ella were in love. Truly in love.
They'd been together for five years.
Five years. So what, the second he left Falvaria, he started something with her? The moment she brought up Ella, Dan's face went even stiffer.
"In any case, you can't marry Derrick right now. Whether you can annot just give it a week. That's all I'm asking." Marie stared at him.
A week? He thought he could figure out whatever happened between them in one week? She let out a low, bitter laugh. "And then what?" Even if he figured something out - then what? "You and Ella have been together for five years. There's emotion there, but also business interests too, right?" Five years...

"You'll stay withfor the week." His voice was flat and cold, an outright command.
Marie didn't hesitate. "Not a chance in hell."
