She rubbed her thumb against the brass. Her dry skin caught on the engraved letters which stood proud of the smooth surface. A choked noise came from her throat as she felt her mind drift to somewhere just out of reach. ‘Can you remember something?’ Doctor Pax’s voice interrupted her thoughts and she shook her head to
