Make Remember Quote by Michael Thomas Ford

“This is the part where they try to make you remember,” said Sadie. She looked at my wrists. “Is it working?” Without realizing it, I’d pushed one sleeve of my pajamas up and was rubbing the gauze that circled my wrist. I stopped, and let the sleeve fall back where it was.” quote by Michael Thomas Ford
