1810 Solus’ Birthday (Part 4)

"Yes, but I would still need to come up with an excuse for not having aged a day and you know how embarrassing it is to ask an ex for a favor. I guess I have to give up on the painting." Solus said too quickly to be believable.

"I don't think so." Lith shook his head. "I think you should go and meet this guy. He could help you remember your past. We'll come up with some bullshit while we are on our way. Worst-case scenario, just use your amnesia as an excuse."

He was happy at the idea of Solus meeting her ex and maybe even renewing their relationship. It would have been a huge step forward in becoming independent from him and getting her own life.

Solus opened her mouth and then closed it several times, never saying a word. On one hand, she wanted the painting and her memories back. On the other hand, she was afraid of what her ex would say about her old self.
