     It's been 3 months since Sarah left to visit her mother and adopted sister. I guess she decided to stay with them since i haven't heard from her since then.

     Just like before, i still work at the Buy More. The only difference is that i own it now, only nobody knows it but me and my store manager/bestfriend Morgan and Alex.

     People around me said that i look like a nerdy version of The Walking Dead. Same routine everyday. Go to work, go home, and do it again 7 days a week. I don't even take a day off anymore.

     My sister and her family moved away, same as Casey. My mom has been travelling around who knows where doing missions for the CIA. I guess she's the only one who stayed being a spy.

     And then there's my wife, Sarah. Who doesn't remember me or our great love story that ended in a way that nobody ever anticipated. The first few months i still hoped that we can still go back to the way it was before and maybe Sarah can still get back her memories.

     But that tiny hope i had go up in flames the moment she told me that she's going away to find herself and visit her mother. I guess i should be thankful she didn't ask for a divorce... yet.

     Before Sarah left, i gave her access to all our assets so she can use it anytime she needs. She is still afterall, my wife. She doesn't really use it that often because she still has her own money.

      After the team disbanded, so as Carmichael Industries. I shut the company down and decided to live a normal life like i wanted for the past few years, only i didn't count on doing it alone.

     Honestly, i don't even know what my status is anymore. Separated? Married? Or married but separated? Jeff and Lester keeps telling me to date some other girls while my bestfriend keeps telling me to hold on a little more longer for Sarah. He was hoping that we would find ourselves back to each others arms again.

     Those people who knows what Sarah and i went through are sad that we ended up this way and still hoping that we can fix it. But everyday that passes by, that hope feels like slipping through my fingers slowly. I'm beginning to lose hope.

     Every night i wish that i can get at least 1 call from her. Even a simple text will do. But nothing. Nada. Zip.

     I can't even look at our pictures at home anymore because i can feel my heart breaks apart everytime i glanced at it. And that house that i was planning to buy for Sarah has been sold just 2 weeks ago.

     So you can't really blame me if im starting to let go. All the plans i made with her, all our dreams for our future are erased with just one single moment. Leaving nothing but just a bunch of pictures and videos as proof that they actually happened.

     I never knew it would be this hard telling a great and exciting love story that only the other half can remember. It's like literally ripping off half of a picture leaving only half of it to show the world. It sucks. My life sucks worse than before.

"Chuck! Are you listening to me?" i heard Morgan's voice through my waves of my wandering conciousness.

"What is it again?" i asked.

"I was just telling you my plan about my proposal for Alex. Get your head in the game, dude! I need your super brain!"

"Uh, you do know that i don't have the intersect with me anymore, right?" i reminded him.

"Chuck, you're a Bartowski. You don't need the intersect to come up with a good plan."

"Maybe the old me. I can't even think of a way to help my wife to remember me."

"Stop doing that, Chuck! You did everything you can to help her get her memories back. She's the one who decided to go away and find herself. She's the only one who can help herself now."

"But still..."

"Okay, stop. Stop right there before that ends up to you moping around again, blaming yourself. I'll talk about my plan with you tomorrow. Alex will be home any minute now so i need to go."

He started to go to the door when he stops and looks back at me.

"Before i forgot, i put your mails on the counter. One of them is from Ellie, we got the same envelope so i think it's the same thing. I haven't open mine yet so i have no idea what it is. See you tomorrow, Chuck!"

"Goodnight!"

     I walk to the counter and check my mails. Just a bunch of bills and bank statements and i found the envelope that Morgan was talking about. I opened it and found a birthday invitation.

Join us in a Celebration for
Clara's 2nd birthday party!
July 30th @ 12pm
The Woodcomb's Residence

     With their Chicago address attached to it. I can't believe it's been 2 years since Clara was born and since i proposed to Sarah. I still remember that day. That proposal wasn't planned but it feels right.

     I guess it wouldn't be bad to attend a party. Even though it's a children's party. It's been a long time since i've been to one.
