gorgeous lips on mine. I could taste the familiar minty sweetness.
    And why wouldn't my bones stop hurting? Irritation set in and I rubbed my neck.
    Why on earth couldn't I remember anything before I'd arrived in my shiny black Jaguar?
    I picked up a fluffy beige teddy bear from my bed and stared at it. "Are you special? Or just some stupid random toy?" I chucked it at the bed.
    "Whoa," Sasha said. "What'd the bear do to piss you off?"
    "How long have you been standing there?" I snapped.
    "Long enough to see you throw the poor teddy."
    I scowled.
    "What's the matter?" She gave me a sympathetic glance and closed the door.
    How could I explain anything without sounding like a nut job? No memories before arriving, and now I was certain I'd had a romantic relationship with my professor . He looked about thirty, and I was eighteen. Or at least I thought I was—that was what my driver's license showed.
    Sasha put an arm around me. "Take a deep breath. I'm sure whatever it is will be okay."
    I grumbled. A sharp pain ran down my spine. I gasped and gritted my teeth.
    "Do you need to go to the clinic?"
    "No. I'm fine. Really."
    She shook her head. "Do you need something to eat?"
    My stomach growled at the mention of food. I was ravenous.
    "Come on." She grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the door.
    I rolled my eyes. "Fine."
    Down in the kitchen, Landon sat at the table, texting. He glanced up. "How are—what's wrong?"
    "Girl needs some food," Sasha said.
    He arched a brow. "You look pale."
    I shrugged.
    Landon jumped up. "We've got plenty for sub sandwiches."
    The two of them pulled out the fixings. I opened a jar of pickles and scarfed them all down.
    Sasha arched a brow. "Sure you're not knocked up?"
    I shook my head, but really, how would I know if I was? Maybe I was, and the shock of it had created a serious case of amnesia. But I didn't care. I just needed to eat more food.
    Sharp pains shot through my shoulders. I grimaced, determined not to cry out. It seemed to work. Neither of them noticed my agony.
    Landon and Sasha piled lunch meat and cheese on white bread.
    I grabbed a tomato and took a bite, sending juice and seeds flying in several directions.
    "Can't you wait a couple minutes?" Sasha wrinkled her brow.
    "No." I bit into the tomato more carefully, and managed to eat the rest without making a further mess. Then I reached for some cheese, but Sasha shooed me away.
    "Fine," I grumbled and went into the cabinet. I pulled out a jar of peanut butter and scooped some out with my fingers.
    "Gross," Landon said. "Ever heard of a spoon?"
    I glared at him and ate it.
    He shook his head and turned to Sasha. "I thought all you girls went out for lunch."
    "We did."
    "What'd she eat? A piece of lettuce?"
    "Funny." I scooped more peanut butter into my hand.
    "You know what?" he asked. "Just keep that jar. I'll buy a new one."
    "Here." Sasha handed me a six-inch sub. The scents of meat, onions, and condiments made my mouth water.
    I grabbed it without a word and had to force myself to stop and chew. Though it seemed easier. I ran my tongue along my teeth. Had they always been this sharp?
    She stared at me. "How did you eat that so fast?"
    "Hungry." I turned around and grabbed the one Landon made. It smelled even better than Sasha's.
    "Hey," he exclaimed.
    I bit into it without apology. This one had peppers—that was why it smelled so good. It tasted even better.
    "I'll just make another." Landon's brows came together. He turned to Sasha. "Maybe you're onto something with being knocked up."
    She turned to me. "Are you?"
    My mouth was too full to answer.
    "Maybe we should take you to the all-you-can-eat place," Landon said. "I can't afford to give you any more of my food."
    My stomach growled.
    Sasha slapped her forehead. "You're hungry after all that?"
    I turned to Landon. "Where's that restaurant you mentioned?"
    He gave me the directions. "Just don't put them out of business."
    "Funny."
    "Maybe we should get you to that clinic,"
