Maya came back the next day and she came with the doctor. The girl seemed to be very happy so Phoenix thought that there might be good news.

"Well, Mr. Wright, I have good news." The doctor announced. "You are discharged, your health is in no danger whatsoever. In fact you are the first person I treat that comes unscratched after is hit by a car."

"Isn't that great, Nick?" Maya smiled.

Phoenix nodded but he had a worried expression.

"Am, what about my memories?"

"I decided that the best will be to go back to the monotony, you know, a familiar environment will help you recover your memories. It will probably take a few days, you never know. And you have to take things easily, you shouldn't force yourself to remember."

"Right." Phoenix mumbled.

"I will take care of everything." Maya promised. "Leave it all in my hands."

Phoenix looked at her and she gave him a comforting smile. The true was that, with her at his side, he felt more peaceful.

"Well, everything is done, if anything happens don't doubt about getting here." The medic finished. "You can go home whenever you want."

And so, an hour later, the cab in which Phoenix and Maya were traveling stopped in front of the building in which were the Wright & Co. Law offices. The girl came out and pointed out with excitement.

"Can you see it Nick? Does it ring any bells?"

"Well… not at all." He answered nonchalantly.

"Oh, come on, your making this harder." She seethed.

"… Sorry?"

"Don't worry, I like challenges."

Phoenix looked at her trying to tell if she was serious or if she was joking. This girl seemed to have to faces, one happy and child-like and another more serious that he saw back there when she was worried. But maybe her happy face was just a façade, a mask. While they were on the cab he could tell that, while her lips were forming a smile, her eyes were showing concern and she wasn't separating from him. She apparently wanted to look positive to cheer him up, but in the inside she was worried.

Maybe she felt guilty because Phoenix saved her life and ended in the hospital because of that.

He shocked his head, they entered the office and Maya was showing it.

"What do you think? Can you remember something?"

It was a pretty and cozy place, Phoenix felt comfortable. But he couldn't remember.

"No."

"Not even Charley?"

"Who's Charley?" Phoenix looked around, waiting to find someone who might work in there, but Maya was pointing at a plant that rested in the corner.

"He is Charley."

"'This' is Charley?" He asked with an eyebrow lifted. "Why does the plant have a name?"

"Could you show some respect, he was Mia's plant!" Maya gestured with fake anger.

"Who is Mia?"

Maya doubted for a moment, then she steeped closer to him. Phoenix felt that spark of sadness in her eyes.

"Mia… was my sister, I guess you can't remember her either." She answered slowly.

The image of a brown haired woman came to his mind, but it was more detailed this time. She wore a black suit, she had a beauty mark in her face, but if there was anything he could remember better it was her smile, determined to cheer him up no matter how badly the things were.

"I think… it sounds familiar… Where is she now?"

"She died, Nick… a year ago." There was no doubt now, Phoenix could see sadness in Maya's eyes.

"Ah… I, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, she's not all that gone." Maya smiled, leaving her sadness away. Phoenix tilted his head, wondering what she was talking about. "Besides, you and I know each other thanks to her. That was when you saved me for the first time."

This time her smile was sincere. Phoenix felt better and he noticed that his heart was beating faster.

"I saved you when we first met? How did that happen?"

"You stood for me when the entire world turned its back on me. And you didn't even know me, you simply said 'I will protect you'… well, those weren't the exact words, but that's the idea. And since then you had been protecting me."

Phoenix fell silent, not knowing what to say, he didn't need to see his face to know that he was blushing lightly. Maya was blushing a little as well, but she turned around to break the tension.

"Well, I hope you're hungry because I will make you something delicious."

"To be honest I was getting sick of the food in the hospital." He admitted. "What are you going to coock?"

"My specialty… Double burgers!"

"…"

"What?"

"No, well, I was expecting something else. But for some reason it doesn't surprise me."
