He didn’t know how to unlock previous memories or information about his short life before waking on the shore with Shaye. She was the only familiarity that he had, and he would guard her and that fact with his life. They might never get their memories back, but they had new ones to look forward to. Once they were back to their full health. He helped her into the cover of the trees as they searched for fresh water. He had certainly had enough salt water for a lifetime.

They carefully made their way through the underbrush, careful not to exasperate their injuries, as they followed the sound. The pair of them were rewarded with an incredible sight. A beautiful little water feature surrounded by the lush seaside trees. He grinned at Shaye as he watched her behold the sight in front of them before he followed her into the cool refreshing waters.

He watched her for a moment before he took a long deep drink of the clear clean water before he followed her beneath the falls. He let it wash away the sand and salt, and he was cleaner than he remembered ever being before. Not that he remembered anything from the day before this. Rhyme sighed heavily, tempted to remain there in the falls for the rest of his life before his name fell from Shaye’s lips. He blinked open his relaxed gaze and did as he was bid, floating closer to her dark form, allowing her to do as she would. ”I feel better already,” he told her as he let her clean up his dirty face.
