"Maya, she's not letting anyone go inside. What should..."

It's been a few hours since Carina kicked everyone out.

People took turns to try if Carina willing to talk, but all they see is she curling up and silently shedding tears in bed.

And they are now gathered in Carina's office discussing what to do next.

The blonde firefighter just silently glances at Amelia who opened the door shaking her head, meaning no luck to get Carina to talk.

Maya stays quiet cause she's upset and not know what to do, to be honest.

Buzz. Buzz.

The vibration of her phone and the photo of caller has her attention.

It's Gabriella Aurora. Her wife's best friend.

She has to take this.

"Hello?" Maya says in hoarse voice.

"Maya? What happened? Why Carina told me Andrea's dead? Why did she lost her memory?"

A series of questions from Gabriella hits her immediately.

Yeah, of course Carina called Gabriella.

She's the one who comfort her at first when she was almost give up on her life, our lives.

"I..."  Maya doesn't know what to say to Gabriella, either. But she was quickly interrupted.

"I'm taking the next flight to Seattle. I'll be there tomorrow." Gabriella says and Maya hears a noisy background, as if someone throwing things around and a bunch of Italian sounds pretty angry and loud.

Oddly, a series of Italian makes Maya feel strangely familiar and puts on a little smile on her face.

Sounds like she's packing and giving order to her assistants or nurse.

"Hmm. You might be the only one she's willing to talk to." Maya whispers.

"She's not even talking to you?!" Gabriella asks in disbelief.

And the noisy background is gone. Maya can imagine how shocked Gabriella is and stops packing or whatever she's doing.

"She doesn't know who I am." Maya sighs, "According to her memory, it's 2020 now. Couple weeks before we met. So she doesn't know our...our marriage and...and..." 

Maya's voice started to break intermittently because of her irregular breath.

"...Andrew's death and our...our..." she starts scratching her throat while trying to tell Gabriella everything.

"Maya?" Amelia immediately notices Maya's breathing and her hand gestures. "Hey! Maya! You're having panic attacks." Amelia holds Maya's shoulders trying to calm her down.

"Get her sit." Miranda Bailey says and helps Maya sitting down on the couch.

"What's wrong?" Gabriella barely hears what Amelia says, but she hears Maya's disordered breathing sounds clearly. "What did you say?"
