ANDRIANNA'S P.O.V.

I entered the living room and saw Xavier who has his gaze fixed on the T.V.

"Hey, good morning." I say grabbing his attention.

"Oh hey. Morning." He smiles. Forces a smile rather.

"Did you have your breakfast?" I ask, walking towards the table and grabbing my plate.

"Yeah, I did with Brian." Comes his voice.

I nod and fill my plate, walking back to Xavier on the couch.

For a few minutes, we remain silent, me eating and Xavier watching FRIENDS.

But it feels like he isn't paying attention to it. Because he doesn't even smile when something funny comes up.

"You okay?" I ask.

"......I have read somewhere, that staying in a coma can result in losing some memories. That would explain why I sometimes have this deja vu feeling when I watch this show." He says not looking at me.

"Have I seen this show before? Because I am sure I didn't use to watch many shows until I met you." He asks suddenly turning to me, which caught me off guard.

Should I tell him? Would it upset him? Of course it would. But I probably should. He has been in dark for too long.

"Yes, we watched it together." I say in a low voice.

He gives me a stiff nod turning back to the T.V.

He must be feeling so sad hearing that. To know that you have not only lost 6 years of your life, your best friend and now memories too?! This is so unfair!

"How's your firm?" Xavier's voice brings me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, it's great. Miranda is now my co-partner."

"Oh, that's nice. How is she?" He asks.

"She's great. She got married to her boyfriend, Steve." I say with a smile remembering the day she showed me her engagement ring on the video call the moment her boyfriend proposed her and she said yes.

"Oh, wow. When?" He asked surprised.

"Last year."

"Oh, I missed a lot, huh." He says with a soft smile.

"Xavi--"

"I am fine." He quickly says before I could say anything and turns his attention towards Chandler.

"Do you wanna see the pictures?" I ask taking out my phone.

"Sure." He turns to me and gives me a smile.

I start to flip through the pictures.

Miranda really looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. Must be because she spent infinite hours, and at least 2 trips to each store to select the perfect one.

I asked her if she wanted to customize it after being dragged to 10 different stores but she said she doesn't have in mind what she wants, but she will know when she sees it. Does that even make sense, because it didn't make any sense to me. But I was glad she finally found what she was looking for.

She also selected my maid of honour's dress, a green colour. She has a great choice I must tell you.

"Beautiful." Xavier says as we look at a picture of the couple with the best man and the maid of honour.

"Yeah, I agree. Miranda looked gorgeous that day." I smile at the picture, where she is kissing her husband on the cheek.

"Ya, she looks pretty too." He says in a low voice.
