Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa's heart pounded fiercely.

Damien had never liked the sea.

He found its vastness and mystery unsettling, always leaving him feeling inexplicably depressed.

He preferred towering mountains, enjoying the thrill of climbing to their peaks and their majestic view.

Ironically, he lost his life to the sea, dying in a manner he had always dreaded.

Additionally, Damien disliked eating fish, finding the process of removing bones tedious.

Yet, whenever Alyssa had fish, he would patiently and carefully remove all the bones for her.

He had got to be Damien.

He must be.

"Damien! I'm Lyse.

Don't you recognize me? Damien!" With tears in her eyes, Alyssa called out to him repeatedly to jog his memory.

"You've got the wrong person, Ms.

Alyssa." Remy couldn't care less.

He even felt that she was being noisy.
