of the guest rooms.” He smiled sheepishly. “When and only when you’re ready, when some time passes, hopefully your memories will come back to you. Maybe then we can get back to things being the way they used to be, and pick up where we left off.”
    I felt the heat rise right up my neck to my face and I smiled awkwardly.
    He smiled at my awkwardness and I swear my heart skipped a beat.
    I was thankful that he was this considerate of my feelings, and that he somewhat understood my need to feel safe until I felt more at ease. I was thankful he was patient and not pushing me in any way to be someone I don’t remember.
    Of course, it would be disturbing having a stranger in my bed, even a beautiful stranger that I was engaged to be married to. And of course, there was a part of me that hoped to remember everything so we could ‘pick up where we left off’, but in either case, I believe I was looking forward to getting out of here . I don’t think ‘Sarah’ liked hospitals and although I was a bit trepidatious about going ‘home’, on the bright side, I was hopeful it would jog a memory or two. I wanted so much to feel like I belonged. To know myself, and who I am.
    Even with the elephant in the room, I guess it could have been worse. It could have been a troll in that chair telling me he was my husband. I laughed out loud.
    “What?” He smiled, “fill me in, what’s so funny.”
    “I was just thinking about how relieved I am that you’re not a troll delivering me the news that we were husband and wife…I wouldn’t know the difference.”
    “Well…I’ll take that as a compliment, as odd as it is.” He chuckled.
    “Good plan.” I said.
    I lay my head back and closed my eyes. This conversing thing sapped every bit of energy I had and I suddenly realized how tired I was.
    “You’ll want to get some rest. Your mother will be in shortly. She’s on her way back from the Hamptons this very moment, and is very anxious to see you.”
    “Hamptons?”
    “Yes, she had a benefit she had to attend, but once she got my call telling her you were awake, she…well, she screamed in my ear and shouted she’s on her way.” He looked at his watch, “which knowing your mother, means she’ll be here within the hour.”
    “Oh my.” I could feel my mouth hanging open.
    “You really shouldn’t worry, she could be a bit animated, and God knows the hearing in my left ear hasn’t fully returned, but she loves you very much.”
    “I’m sort of scared now.” I smiled.
    “Don’t be, Veronica is a wonderful woman, and mother.”
    “Thanks for the warning.” I kind of smiled, I think.
    “I’ll let you get some rest before she gets here. I’ll be back later with some dinner.”
    Now that got my attention.
    “Food?”
    “Yes,” he laughed, “Dinner does typically include food.”
    “Do you know what I like?”
    “I do.”
    “Bring it on. Apparently being in a coma increases one’s appetite.”
    He out and out laughed.
    “Why are you laughing?” I asked.
    “Because you still have your corny sense of humor.”
    “Corny?” I was a bit put off.
    “Okay. You still have your sense of humor.”
    “Just bring the goods, Mister.” I interjected.
    “Yes, ma’am.” He bowed mockingly. “I love you…I’m sorry. I apologize, that was too much, too fast. I’m just so happy you are sitting here talking to me, guess I just got carried away.”
    The shocked look fell from my face. “No problem. But please take it real slow…at least for a little while.”
    “Again, I apologize. I will go as slow as you want.”
    He got up and bent over, placing a kiss on my forehead.
    “I’ll see you later.”
    “Okay.”
    “And for the record, you did love me back.” He turned and walked through the door.
    Damn, damn, damn! I was so frustrated. I wanted to remember. I was engaged to that? That beautiful hottie with the killer smile and dreamy eyes?
    I think it’s only fair that I remember it all. And I mean
