It was cold. Winter, of course, and it had finally started snowing; white speckled my shoulders and hair like paper confetti, but the cold only barely stained my cheeks. That wasn't unusual; I'd always been told I radiated warmth somehow, though I couldn't tell you who had said that. Lindy, I would have said... a month ago. I didn't know why my memories were the way they were, but Dr. Sofen was the only one that was willing to help me with them.

I went into the building, my feet moving along the hallways on their own, knowing the way after so many visits. Outside the door I always hesitated, wondering if I should just turn and walk out. I didn't know if she would ever really be able to help me. But I always knocked, sometimes before I had even realized I'd decided to.
