[b] As much as Ava wanted to fight Andreios more, she could tell just talking hurt him. Her suspicions were confirmed, though. She knew him before now, & if she was lucky, they were pretty close. She certainly felt like it when he ran his hand down her cheek & just stared at her for a few moments. But why couldn't she remember him? & why in the world was her father trying to marry her off if she had someone like Andreios?

"I'm not going to give up," Ava promised Andreios softly, following him into her room, "I'm going to figure out what's going on here, & why every one is acting so weird. Why can't you just tell me?"[/b]
