Bethanie knocked on Darron's office door. The slick wood make her knuckles shine.
Darron's deep voice beckoned her to come in.
She pushed with all her strength to get the door open.
/Why does this door have to be so heavy?/ She wondered.
The light from the window warmed her and glinted off her blond hair.
Darron's brown eyes moved away from his lap top. "Bethanie, what's up?"
Bethanie clasped her hands in front of her and pursed her lips. "I need to ask you a question."
"Okay, go ahead."
Silence.
Bethanie swayed back and forth on her heels and opened her mouth, then shut it.
"Bethanie, what's wrong?"
"I want an answer, but I don't know if you will or can give it to me."
"Ah I see," Darron said. "Beth, the only thing I can say to that is that you'll never know unless you ask me."
She swayed again and then sat down in a chair across from his desk.
"Okay, I know that a year ago Josh's family and mine were in a car accident. I know that our parents died and we both got amnesia. But...."
Darron leaned forward.
"It doesn't seem logical. How could we both get amnesia? How could both sets of parents die? I don't understand."
The corners of Darron's mouth turned up and he nodded his head. "I knew you would catch on pretty quickly. And," he sighed easing back into his chair, the leather squeaking. "I suppose we really can't hide it from you any more. Now you're going to have to keep everything I tell you to yourself. I'm not sure whether you're in danger anymore or not, but
just to be safe, don't tell this to a soul, especially not Josh."
