Yes I do.  I was remembering bits and pieces of my marriage.

                                                                  Funny how memory fuses things out of sequence no rhyme or reason leapfrogging . . . years sometimes.

One of the best things of memory  its random appearances

Random. Yes.

                    Did your loveyour marriage, have a price?

Price

Off the top of your head, not involved, not gobsmacking.

A price   paid or a cost   its production

No
