Summary: Memories usually just belong to one person.
He'd lived as Vaughn Carpenter for twenty-seven years, a happily married recluse. But now the Troubles were back, and everything was unraveling around the edges. He started to panic.
He thought the woman was Lucy at first. But when she said she couldn't help, his panic surged. She knew his secret. Normally taking someone's memories was the thing that killed them, but hers were strange, only tied on at the corners with thin bits of string. Underneath them ... something dangerous, hiding in the darkness. So he only took the memories he needed. She could keep the rest for herself.
