The next day, as Leanna remained sound asleep, Aidan abruptly lifted her from the bed.

"We're going to do something you've already forgotten about," he replied casually.
"What?" she responded with confusion.
What did I forget?
Even after zoning out for a couple of seconds, Leanna couldn't recall it and decided to give up.
