It wasn’t in Delia’s nature to be so cruel
to people, especially not those that she
loved and treasured the most. But after
an entire m o n t h of trying and failing
to catch even so much as a glimpse of
the mother she had once known, it was
now time to try a different approach. A
far less painful one, if that was even a
possibility by that point.

                “Look, the only reason I’m still here right now
                is because I literally have nowhere else to go.
                From now on, can you just stay over there in
                your part of the house, and I’ll stay over here
                in mine?” It wasn’t what she wanted, but she
                felt it was necessary if she was going to get
                through everything. “We don’t even have to
                talk to each other anymore, just co-exist.”

Though the selfish part of her welcomed this
coward’s way out, Teddy knew that it wasn’t
a  solution.  However forced and strange this
situation  was,  Delia  was  just  a child — a
child  who  counted  on  her  and needed her. 
She knew that if she didn’t act upon her duty
as a  s o l d i e r and as a human being, the
cowardice would forever follow her. 

                “I  wouldn’t ask that of you,” Teddy said quietly. 
                “Cordelia, all I’m asking for is some time. You
                may  know  me,  but  I  don’t  know  you. And I 
                would like to, I really would — just, please I’m
                begging  you  to  wait for me. You seem like a
                wonderful  girl, and I know that I wouldn’t want
                you to hate me if I ever got my memory back.”
