Summary
“Whoever I was-” Crystal grimaces, tightens her hands around the metal chains. “David gave me back some memories, and as much as I don’t want to believe that they’re real…” She sighs, searches for the words. “David sucked, and he definitely wasn’t transparent with me, but I don’t think he was a liar.” She doesn’t say it, but Crystal’s pretty sure that there’s enough wrong with her that David wouldn’t have had to make anything up to hurt her.
“Even if they’re true, they probably aren’t the whole story.” Niko nods, looking out to the trees around the park. “I don’t think your abusive ex has your best interests at heart.”
That startles another laugh out of Crystal. “Yeah, I doubt it. Still…” She trails off again, twists her seat back and forth until the chains cross overhead. “I don’t think he had to go looking too hard for memories that would make me look bad, you know? It definitely feels more like the rule than the exception that I was a bitch, and it just-” Crystal groans. “I wonder if there’s a reason that David could get into me as easily as he did.”
