"Oh, yeah. I do remember that doll. Uh, I forgot her name, sorry."

She smiled again. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately and it now didn't seem nice at all. "It's okay, I remember. We named her Heliet. Heather and Juliet. Heliet. Stupid girls we were back then."

I remained silent. "Why are talking about that doll now?"

"Nothing. Just reminiscing memories, you know. I slept everyday with that doll right next to me to make up for your absence."

"Oh, too bad I didn't have anything that would remind me of you."

"What about that bracelet we gave each other?"

Double shit.

"Oh...that bracelet. Right. I left it in my dresser. I didn't want to...lose it." I gave her a smile which I hoped didn't look nervous.

She didn't smile back. Instead she just walked towards me until she was right in front of me. "Okay," she said, taking her phone out of her purse. "I have to call a very important person. And I hope that person answers."

I stared at her confusedly. "Okay."
