V. what about it?

Robert

Amnesia? A coma? All this is confusing as hell.

"Wait, am I getting you? The assault that she experienced 6 months ago caused memory loss?" I asked again just to make sure I could confirm

He nodded "Yes, but it is a high possibility for her full memory to come back"

"Oh nah, I don't want that" I said more out loud than I anticipated.

Dr. Van what's-it looked at me funny again, maybe I should play the role of the good husband and not let him look at me as some goofy. Or some abuser type shit.

I played with a forced laugh "I mean, can't let her remember all those missed dinners and Valentine's Days, amIright?"

He stared for a second, leaning in to close in the space between us and he cracked a smile "Hey, if I had a amnesia ray for everytime I forgot Valentine's Day with my wife" he threw his head back in laugher and out of fear of not looking genuine, I just added to the volume.

That was close. 

I mean, I do love Dayna. She is honestly the love of my life, and that's why I am so pissed at her. We had all these plans and ideas for us but that conversation two years ago, really fucked me up. I thought we both were on the same page. Then when she got her new license and shit, I was proud of her. That's my muthafuckin' baby for real. She always had her shit together, which is why I didn't understand why she backed out of the thing we both set our mind on. And now with my new job..or jobs rather, I haven't been able to really sit and fix our shit. This new job got me stressed out no lie. Which is why I just been trying to keep to myself, but Dayna wants to fix it. I can't have her around, not now.

"Whoo" he calmed down before wiping his tears "So, your wife, Dayna. She had shown significant signs of progress and response. Over the next 5 weeks, she will have to come here weekly just to have some memory adjusting tests ran to ensure fine motor skills, language, sociology and so on and so forth"

"I just suggested that while you bring her back home, that you try to do the things you normally do. Keep her on her routine as much as possible"

I nodded, absorbing the information "Okay, I can do that. I mean we are both very busy most the time, so I will brief her assistant and mine as we tend to work around each others schedule"

"Perfect!" he agreed "Let's get ready to greet her, I had the nurse wrap up her things and grab the belongings. Just for this first day, try to have family and friends surround her, let her be around some familiar energies"

Friends? There's only like two people I know, and one of them is out of the country. I could call that one girl she always grabs food with, I'll check with Eric.

"No problem, now do you think she will recognize me?" I asked genuinely nervous, I mean if she didn't I wouldn't be too mad. But I also may feel a bit hurt, I don't know, I'm trippin'.

"It is a 50% chance she will, you're probably deep in her subconscious and she may instantly remember but if not, again being surrounded by familiar settings will trigger a neuro response" Dr. Van Guyer informed

Tucking my hands in my Kelly Green sweats, I saw the door swing open slowly. I don't know why but my stomach was getting all tight and my chest was moving a little bit faster than I wanted. I hope my sweat doesn't bleed through this white shirt, I just got this. A nurse who was young looking, Hispanic with black hair in a ponytail came through with a familiar Telfar bag on her arm and other duffles attached.

"Right this way, Mrs. Wilder" the nurse guided

"Ah, there she is," Dr. Van Guyer greeted with a grand gesture and smile.
