 It was n't long after she left. The room was still filled with all of her furniture, her clothes, and her scent. The large canvas picturing the moon in a little pond was placed on the wall. Just looking at it brings me to that one night of absolute bliss. 
 
 It was right after her stage performance, we were walking around the city park at night. The city had fallen asleep with the streetlamps glowing faintly and the two of us witnessing its silent presence. We walked close together hand in hand with our footsteps in sync. The smell of her hair was breathing air for the first time. Just being so close to her made me feel like I can do anything. 
 
 We found a little pond covered in flower petals and went to get a closer look. As we were admiring the petals floating on the water, she tighten her grip and talked about how enchanting the pond was under the moonlight. 
 
 Then she proceeded to pull me into the water. I would have fell in had she not kept holding on so tightly. I stare at her and thought `` This prankster, I will get you back one day.'' She laughed and filled the silent air with ecstasy. Even though she was sticking her tongue at me, it was at that moment I thought to myself that I really was the luckiest guy in the whole wide world. There is nothing I would n't do to make sure I do n't forget that. 
 
 Suddenly, the phone rings. I am brought back to reality. I let the phone continue ringing and let the call go to voice mail. 
 
 `` Hello, sir. I am calling from the collection offices of Lambert and McDonald. It seems you have defaulted on your payments. This is an unfortunate case as we are now required by law to repossess the following neural fragments: the name of our client's cat, the memories of the last kiss with said client, the memories of the `` Chubby Bunny'' incidents, and finally all memories containing pedals in a pond where you were present. The repossession company will contact you for available times. Please comply to the order as calmly and soon as possible. Thank you for your time.'' 
 
 Hearing that message, I sat on the floor thinking this was too much. What did I do to deserve something like this? Was I really that bad? Did she feel neglected? Was it because I was working so hard trying to paying for our student loans? Did she think that we were so poor that we had to sell our memories of each other to pay off the loans? Did our friendship and love mean anything to her at all? 
 
 Why... 
 
 Why?
