---- all night. Julia lied to herself , convincing herself that he was just busy. One day, the tabloids published headlines about some dating rumors between him and Kaitlyn Lynch, a young lady from the wealthy Lynch family. In the photos, Dylan was pictured opening the car door for Kaitlyn in his haute couture suit. They smiled at each other, a scene that was jarring to see. The online comments praised them as "a match made in heaven". Julia spent the night staring at the moon by the window.
By the end of it, she came to a realization. The version of Dylan, who braved the elements to pick her up from work, worked hard to buy her a necklace and tattooed her name on his collarbone , had faded away on the day his memory recovered.

He slowly made his way over and addressed her icily, " Did you stalk me?" Before Julia could speak, Dylan argued, "I've explained those photos to you. We were discussing business .
