“Memory issues? Seriously, this again? You don’t have amnesia anymore!”
“You don’t know that. I could have...latent amnesia!”
“Latent amnesia? Do you even know what that word means?”
Jules gaped at him. “No, but I’ve heard it used in sentences before.”
Gabe shoved the cameras into Jules’s chest. “You’re doing it. Unless you suddenly forgot how to work your hands, you’re not getting out of this.”
Gabe spun, his eyes widening when he saw me standing there in next to nothing. “Um…this is not what it looks like.”
“So…you’re not installing security sensors in the house?”
A small grin tilted his lips. “Well, I guess that’s what we’re doing.”
“Why?”
“Um, because Knight said to?”
“No one told us you were coming.”
“Well, that’s sort of what happens when Knight’s involved.”
“Yeah,” Jules snorted. “Everyone listens to him. I bet if he told someone he had amnesia, they’d listen.”
“Shut up about the amnesia,” Gabe snapped. “It happened like ten years ago!”
“Any chance you guys are gonna leave?” I asked, hoping I could have the house to myself.
“Not until we’re done.”
“Yeah, the thing is, this is my wedding day.”
“I know,” Gabe smiled. “Congrats!”
“But you being here is sort of…in my way.”
“Oh, did you want us to move our things?”
“No, I want you to move. Like, out. Now.”
Gabe and Jules both watched me carefully, neither of them understanding.
So, I repeated it slowly so they could understand. “It’s my wedding day. And on a woman’s wedding day, she wants to have space for herself.”
Jules leaned over to Gabe. “I don’t follow.”
These guys…Since they were either being obtuse on purpose or really just stupid, I was going to have to take other measures to get my house back.
I dropped my towel and strolled past them, into the kitchen, catching how they both flinched and hid their eyes behind their hands.
“Uh…you know, we have other things…outside, uh?—”
“Ouch!” Jules snapped. “You just pushed me into the table!”
“Well, you’re supposed to run when you see a naked woman!”
“I’m trying!” Jules countered. “Remember? I’m the one with brain damage! Things don’t always work right!”
