"There's a chance they really did remember, you know?" she added after a fair amount of silence. "A friend of mine was never going to make it past 25 without the help of the way her body was changing. She bought another year of her life, but as soon as she fell off, it was back to her normal life."
Another puff of air, but with no smoke behind it this time, like she'd forgotten to take the drag at all. "They found my name with hearts next to it in her phone after she died. That's how I got invited to her funeral. So maybe she still remembered who I was after all, somewhere in the back of her head. Whole lot of good that does me now, though."
