-"Love... I haven't been totally honest with you these last few weeks..."
---
- "wh-what do you mean ?Bam-bambina you, you, you scare me a little"
- "I know that... That I told you I didn't know why I said... What I said in... Waking up from my coma... But since... But since... Since-since I remembered... At first it was moments... like... Like when... We were on the couch and you caressed my neck and told me about my tattoo... Four... But when... When you slept through the night and I didn't... I've been listening to these meditation podcasts... It's done by a psychologist and they're there to help you revisit your dreams or buried memories... and I...
I remember what happened to me when I was in a coma... and I... I, I, I don't know if... If it's a good idea for me to tell you... I don't know how you'd... How you'd take it, that's why I didn't say anything...
And I still don't know if it's a figment of my imagination... If I'm crazy... If....
I don't want to hurt your feelings by telling you what those few days were like for me if it was only in my head... And I don't want to hurt you in the event that it actually happened."
- "baby?" Carina asked, finally managing to turn around in her wife's arms. Her brows were furrowed and her eyes red, trembling.
"Wha... What do you mean?"
- "love... You know the day you were in the hospital and Charlie asked you for me..."
- "y-yes..."
- "did you... Did you... I mean, did you tell him that «Charlie» ... Like, as a first name it was... Was it my idea?"
The Italian's eyes had filled with tears.
"I... I think... I think I've, I've spent these few days with him..."
-"Bam-bambina I... I never told you that, that, that I, that I told him, told him..."
- "s-so it... It... It wasn't in... In my head" replied Maya, whose tears that had previously threatened to leave her eyes had finally given way.
-"and you... you... You thought that... I... I, what, you'd, you'd, you'd be mad? That I'd, I'd love you less... Even if it had only been... Only in your head?"
- "I-"
Carina's mouth had come to rest on hers and her hand had come to rest at the nape of her neck. The Italian had intensified their kiss.
The brunette's hand had slid from her neck to her cheek.
-"Maya... You're the love of my life and it's definitely not something that would make my love for you diminish...
I believe that even if you broke my heart to cheat on me or fall in love with someone else ... I couldn't... Love you any less... So that's definitely not why I'd do it."
-"You know I could never cheat on you or fall in love with anyone but you... The only people who can steal my heart are in this house..."
-"I know..." Carina replied, running her thumb over her wife's cheek.
"So, just like that... My baby girl spent time with my baby boy?"
- "It's not... Like that that I'd want to meet him or have time with him.... But I don't see how I could have guessed that story about you telling him it was me who wanted that name for our first child..."
-"How is he? Is he happy? He's not... He's not in pain anymore? How come... That you've... Seen? I... I have so many questions..."
-"do you want me to... You want me to tell you what I remember?"
