You’re not messing with me? Then swear on it!!
Without bestation, Harper made a solemn promise.]
Seeing Harper make such a serious vow, Jean was stunned. She grabbed Harper’s shoulders firmly.
Holy crap, you actually have amnesia, and you’ve only forgotten my brother?!”
Harper couldn’t understand why this was so shocking “Who exactly is Dylan Rodriguez anyway?”
Jemma’s expression grew complicated as she ran a hand through her hair. “Dylan’s my brother. Back in freshman year when you came over to study, you fell head over heels for him the minute you saw him. You’ve been trying to win him over for seven straight years…

“God, no. My brother has always been ice–cold toward you. He’s hung up on someone else, so he rejected not just you but everyone who’s shown interest. He’s completely stuck on his first love, Baby Hale. When they broke up years ago, he was such a mess he drank himself into the hospital and nearly died. He’s never moved on. Actually, this accident happened because he left you stranded on the highway in the pouring rain to go pick up Ruby, who just Dew back from Europe.
These revelations left Harper speechless, her expression a mixture of shock and disbelief
“Let me get this straight,” she said slowly.]
“Your prother treats me like garbage, is obsessed with another woman, and literally abandoned me in a storm because of her? What on earth did I see im him? Are you sure you’re not making this up?“]
“Why would I lie about something like this? Everyone knows you’ve been crazy about my brother forever.

Following Jemuna’s instruction, Harper successfully unlocked the phone.
When she opened the photo gallery, thousands of pictures of an unfamiliar man flooded her screen.[]

“Let’s forget it” Harper said firmly. I dont remember anything, batean stell I must have been miserable when I liked your brother. Since I’ve forgotten him now, maybe it’s actually a blessing in disguise.
Harper took a deep breath, then deliberately deleted all the photos and notes completely

After hanging up the grabbed her bag and hurriedly stood. “I need to head home–family emergency. Rest up, okay? I’ll swing by when things settle down.”
The door closed with a thud.
Just as Harper was about to rest, her home phone rang.
“Harper, remember that childhood engagement Mom mentioned? This arrangement has been on hold for several years now. Have you given it any thought?

Her mother had braced herself for
But after a few seconds of silence, Harper surprisingly agreed]
Sure. Mom Once I wrap things up here, I’ll come home and honor the engagement“]
Her mother was completely Doored, her voice filled with disbelief.
“War–what? You’re over your friend’s brother? Before, you refused to move back to Boston because of him, chasing after the guy for years. What changed your mind so suddenly?“]
Harper didn’t know how to explain her memory loss and didn’t want her family to worry about the accident.
So after careful consideration, she gave a simple response
“I don’t like him anymore, | I never will again.“[
