The door pushed open and a tall man walked in. He was very handsome, but he was far too old for me. He pulled up the chair he was sitting in earlier and sat real close to the bed. He took my hand in his and I yanked it away. He had a look of sadness on his face. "I-I'm sorry. I just, this is all new to me. I'm sorry I don't remember you. I wish I could. You seem like a really nice guy." I said. I wasn't sure what to say.
Rick sighed. He slid his wedding ring off his finger and held it up. "Through sickness and in health; I promised to be by your side no matter what. Just because you don't remember me doesn't mean I don't remember you. All the fun times we had, all the love we made." My eyes grew wide. "I-You-We had sex???" Rick's eyes searched mine, begging me to remember. "Oh my god. If my mother was still alive she would kill me. Sleeping with a man double my age. She would beat me to a bloody pulp. Did we really have sex? Or are you joking?" Rick's face got sadder and sadder with every word I said. "Yes. We really had sex. We have had sex so many times, I can't even count them all." He put his ring back on. I was embarrassed by his words, I can't believe what I've done.
Rick rubbed his chin, which had a beard on it. For an older man, he is quite attractive. But it would never work. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to upset you. Maybe I should just go to sleep. I feel light headed." I said as my vision started to get blurry and my head hurt bad. "Okay I'll leave you alone." Rick said. He got up and pulled his wedding ring off once again and put it in my hand. "Keep this until you remember something, anything. Maybe holding it will help." He said. I saw him coming in to kiss me and I pulled back. He kissed my head and walked out. I looked at the ring. It was nice, definitely something I'd pick out.
I slid my ring off and put it on the nightstand next to the bed. I put Rick's ring on and prayed that it would help me remember something. I then curled up in a ball and fell asleep.
