The sound of someone hurriedly climbing the stone steps, likely. The moment he turned his head and his eyes met yours, he felt his breath hitch. He wondered if he was seeing a phantom. Because you were the one sleeping deep within his memories—

You asked very urgently if he had seen a puppy. He should have said no, of course, but he ended up blurting out something completely nonsensical.

How could I ever forget you?
