Eva Miller lowered her eyes and went over what he'd just said in her head again.

"Luke Land, did you just call me Little Chili?" Her face was full of disbelief. "You can remember me now? Your amnesia is cured?"
"…"

Anyway, this lie was getting harder and harder to keep up.
"It's halfway better, I guess. I can remember some things." He still put on a calm, unruffled front.
"Oh." Eva Miller nodded, actually not looking the least bit suspicious.
But paper can't wrap fire forever.
