Toby began to untie Elenore, his fingers deftly working at the knots. As the ropes fell away, a sense of relief washed over her. "How? How did you remember, and when?" she asked, her voice a mix of hope and disbelief.
"Well, a punch from my cousin is definitely memorable," Toby replied with a wry grin, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
"What?" Elenore's brow furrowed in confusion, struggling to connect the dots.
"Do you remember when I showed up at Lily's mansion all disheveled and babbling about nonsense? You looked at me like I was completely shit and ass—and honestly, I was," Toby said, a chuckle escaping his lips as he reminisced.
Elenore couldn't help but smile at the memory. "Yeah."
"Exactly! Then I tried to pick a fight with my cousin for no reason. He just turned and punched me," Toby continued, shaking his head as if still incredulous about the whole situation.
