Aria's pov The next morning, I left the beach house. First stop: ATM, where I withdrew my monthly thousand-dollar allowance. Then I caught a cab downtown. The city was as busy as ever. Even that baby store where Damien and I once shopped together was still there, the display window hitting me hard with tiny baby clothes and soft blankets. I pushed the memory away and focused on my first goal: contacting Max. Problem was, I was terrible at remembering phone numbers. I always used my contacts list. Now, without a phone, I couldn't remember Max's number. I couldn't even remember the company phone number. I had to find an internet café and look up our company website. Embarrassing that I couldn't even remember the web address, though Max handled all that stuff.
