eyebrows to her and gave a slight shrug to his shoulders.
    “You told me how she was your first true love. That you still loved her and that you would always love her.  And that you wanted me to know that, because you wanted to be honest and fair to me.”
    Memories of the past he had locked away in the back of his mind suddenly consumed him. Gina. His heart began to tighten in his chest. He took a deep breath. Gina. Gina. Her name began to rattle around in his mind bouncing off the walls of his thoughts and back to his conscious again.  Waves of excitement followed by sheer panic flowed through his blood vessels.
    “Who, Gina?” He asked, attempting to mask the flurry of emotion penetrating his body.
    “Yeah, Gina,” she said with recognition of the name. “Do you still love her? I mean do you still feel that way?” The childish innocence of her question was confusing and slightly alarming. The casualty of the question felt closer to being asked if he still preferred Pinot to Cabernet as opposed to the curiosity over an old love. An old flame. Is that all that Gina Fotelli is? An old flame?   It was so casual to Sarah; it was after all just a question. But to Grant, it was the fateful question he never allowed himself to answer.
    “What? Sarah! I haven’t seen or talked to her in like six Yeahrs. I don’t know anything about her now.” His voice rose with his body as he stood up and walked back over to the stove.
    He could see Gina in his mind, as though she were right there in front of him. The scent of her shampoo seeped through the air and into his nose. He could hear the softness of her voice flutter though his ears and the feeling of her arms wrapped around his body. Gina, my Gina . He had done his best over the Yeahrs to accept that a part of his heart would need to eternally be closed off for her. He didn’t know any other way to deal with the loss of what he had always considered the greatest thing to have ever come into his life.  What they had was beyond the scope of comprehension surpassing any description of love he had ever heard.  He knew he would never find that again, and he knew that Gina was long gone.  Hearing her name now was like a key to unlocking the memories he did his best to secure.
    Sarah watched his hands grip the counter t ightly and his biceps contract. “Okay, okay, don’t get so mad about it.” She shifted awkwardly back and forth in her chair. “It’s just, my mother brought it up while I was visiting.
    “I am sure she did Sarah,” he whispered in a low rough tone.
    “Whatever,” she huffed.
    “She wanted you to end up more like them. Or should I say more like who they try to be.”
    “Grant Foster!” Sarah popped up from her seat. Her body stood straight as a pole, her arms tightly crossed. 
    Grant stared back at her, his mind lost with Gina. His body was battling the slight tremble that was rumbling through it. He forced his thoughts back into the present conversation. Sarah was here with him. Sarah was his fiancé e and his future. As much as his mind was burning with memories of Gina, he had to remember his future and not his past.  Losing Sarah wasn’t the direction he planned on going in and he would be damned if he was going to let that happen now.  “Wait,” he said closing the distance between them and taking her by her arms.
    “You’re an ass,” she said.
    “I know, I'm sorry”, he replied. He attempted to pull her in close to him without much luck.
    Sarah stood as firm as a statue with her arms ti ghtly crossed in front of her.              
    He stared into her eyes, hoping for some forgiveness. Or at minimum, for her to break from her anger with him.  He watched her tone slowly settle as her eyes widened from her narrow stare.  Once again, he attempted to pull her into him. After a few tight squeezes, she released her arm hold and wrapped them around his waist. Looking up at him, Grant caught a sense of relief, as her features
