Alison Barrington woke up from what seemed to be the longest night of her life. She had slept for twelve hours! She shrugged and got out of bed. What did it matter anyway? Her true love-or supposed true love anyway-was married to another woman. Her former best friend to be exact. He didn't remember a single thing about her, except for a bunch of flashbacks in his mind that didn't include words. Didn't that count for something?!! "Oh well," she said to herself as she brushed her hair and washed her face. At least the battle wasn't over yet. Rafe didn't exactly tell her that they couldn't be together. He needed to take time to figure things out first. She still couldn't figure out how or why he was back on earth. The biggest question of all was how he lost his memory. Maybe an accident, or possibly the deal that allowed him to come back to earth?

"Yeah right!" Alison laughed at the thought. Who could possibly be that evil? It certainly couldn't be anyone from where he came from. She highly doubted the man upstairs would do something like that. And Livvie, as manipulating as she can be, she wouldn't intentionally harm Rafe.would she? At this point, Alison really wouldn't doubt anything! After vampires, angels, and a 100 something year old great great great grandmother coming out of a portrait, anything was possible!

"Beeeep!"

"Oh, someone must have called my cellphone last night when I went to bed! I wonder who it is". She pressed the button for voicemail on her phone, and was surprised to hear the voice on the other end.

"Hey Alison it's Rafe. I have so much to tell you, I don't even know where to begin. Meet me at the park at noon so we can talk!"

"Wait a minute, which park is he talking about?" Alison wondered. There were two possible parks he could have meant. The voicemail indicator on her phone beeped again and she checked it. "It's Rafe again. I forgot to mention something. Meet me at the park where we made snow angels, shared hot chocolate, and I promised to love you forever."
