Forgotten Remember Quote by Cathy Maxwell
““We were all that mattered back then, or have you forgotten? Do you not remember that night? How we stood beside the river and followed the Shawnee way? Do you remember what I whispered to you?" She shook her head, refusing to look at him. She tried to wrest her wrist free, but he held fast. "You are lying," he accused quietly. "You can't forget." "How do you know?" she threw back at him. Alex smiled. "Because I can't," he admitted sadly.””
