    I closed my eyes and my frustration faded as I did.

Chapter Five
     
    “Sarah!” A woman’s voice resonated in the small room. “Dear, it’s me. Your mother.”
    I opened my eyes and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw how close the woman’s face was to my own.
    “Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. The doctor tells me you don’t remember anything.” She stood up and took a step back, which afforded me a good look at this undeniably attractive woman. She had dark brown hair, piled on her head with wisps framing her youthful face. Her long bangs were swept to the side, exposing the greenest eyes, I think I’ve ever seen. Her mouth was light pink with the slightest shimmer.
    She was tall and full figured, with an ample chest and slim hips. She wore an olive green business suit with an ivory silk blouse. Her long legs ended in her high heel olive green stilettos. She put her purse down on the chair that was occupied earlier by the very handsome man who tells me he’s my fiancé.
    All in all, today was turning into a very strange day indeed.
    “Well, do you recognize me?” She stood with her hands on her hips, staring intently at my face.
    My guess is that she was trying to use her eyes as laser beams, shooting into my brain, to somehow force me to recognize her.
    Okay, so maybe that was reaching a little bit.
    “I...I’m sorry. I don’t.” Her smiled faded immediately and I could see the tears accumulate in her eyes. Her face softened and she moved her purse to the table and sat down, looking defeated.
    “I so hoped you would, but I’m so happy to see you are finally awake Sarah. I’ve missed you so much.”
    “Um, thank you.”
    She reached over and took my hand in hers. “You look dreadful.” She opened her purse and pulled out a brush. “Do you mind if I brush that tangled mess?”
    Something about her mannerisms was familiar and I felt comfortable for the first time since this whole accident business.
    “Have at it.” I said and was rewarded with a big smile.
    “You sound just like my Sarah.” She stood and walked over to the other side of the bed and raised the mattress. “I’ll try to be gentle. You used to love when I brushed your hair. But of course you don’t remember that, do you?”
    I was reluctant to say I didn’t remember, not wanting to see that sad look cloud her beautiful features again, “I could believe that.”
    “Well, let’s get those knots out shall we?” She seemed a little happier. “Has Bradley been here since he’s called me.”
    “Yes, he said he’d be back with dinner, later.”
    “Do you remember him ?” I could tell she was fishing, and I wanted to put her at ease.
    “No, I don’t. It’s the strangest thing having no memory of the people who are so important in my life.”
    “Well, you are just mad about him. He loves you very much. His heart was just broken when they told us that they needed to put you into that coma. Brain injury. His heart was just broken…as was mine.”
    “Th…thank you.” I didn’t know how to respond to that. I was so confused.
    I felt a tug.
    “Sorry darling, you have a rather stubborn knot here. I’m not hurting you am I?”
    “No. Not at all.” I lied. It did hurt a little, but I’m sure having my hair free of knots was worth a little discomfort. “De-knot me.”
    She blurted out a laugh.
    “My, you sound just like my Sarah. Corny as ever.” She giggled as she ran the brush down the length of my hair.
    “You’re the second person to call me corny today.”
    “Well, dear, you are unique. Maybe corny is not the right word.”
    I heard her gasp.
    “What’s the matter?” I was suddenly afraid.
    “Oh, it’s nothing Sarah. Just found another big knot.”
    Her voice gave her away. I lifted my hand and rubbed my head, feeling a large section underneath that was like only about an inch long.
    “What is this?”
    “It must have been where they operated to release the pressure on
