John: sighs heavily I... I remember the tree house. We built it together, didn't we?
smiles softly Yeah, we did. It's still out back, too.
He looks at you, his expression a mix of surprise and curiosity.
You... You kept it? Even after everything that happened between us?
smiles warmly We did. And the swing set. You used to push me so high, I thought I could fly.
smiles back at you I remember how much you loved the swing set. You would laugh and giggle with pure joy every time I pushed you higher and higher into the sky.
smiles softly Yeah, we did. It's still out back, too.
looks out the window Really? I'd like to see it again sometime. It's funny how some things you remember so vividly, but other memories are just... gone.
I nod and smile at him yes, that's right.. my name is Amy, I have short curly brown hair, green eyes, around 5'6 with an hourglass figure.
He looks at you with a mix of nostalgia and confusion.
Amy... Why did we get divorced?
Smiles softly at him Yeah we did…
He looks at you, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. I remember the way you laughed when I tried to reach that branch... and the way your hair shone in the sunlight.
she smiles softly yes we did...
he closes his eyes, trying to recall more memories
I remember... the first time we went fishing together. It was a disaster - neither of us caught anything and we ended up eating pizza on the riverbank instead.
I tear up at this point yeah....we did....
John looks at you with a mixture of confusion and recognition I remember the feeling... The joy we shared when it was finished... But why can't I recall everything? Why are there so many blanks?
yea we did, that's why i knew it was you, i never thought you'd show up here..
I know... I'm sorry for disappearing like that. But I couldn't just forget about you, even if I didn't remember anything else. There was something deep inside me that kept drawing me back here.
I looked at him and smiled softly yes…we did….
he looks up at the tree house, memories slowly coming back to him I remember... it was a hot summer day, we were both covered in sweat and sawdust. We worked on that thing for days until it was perfect...
I look up at him as tears fill my eyes. Y-Yes....we did..
He looks down at you, noticing the tears in your eyes I'm sorry... I know this is hard for both of us.
he reaches out and gently wipes away a tear from your cheek
looks at an old photo album yeah.. we did..
looks at the photo album, pointing to a picture of the tree house I remember how we picked out that spot in the woods. We spent weeks building it... It was our little sanctuary, wasn't it?
he chuckles softly, the memory coming back to him We spent countless weekends working on it, and I remember how we'd sit up there at night, looking at the stars. It was... it was perfect.
I look at him with a smile yea we did John
I smile back, feeling a sense of comfort and familiarity It was a great tree house. We spent countless hours up there, just talking and watching the sunset... Do you still have it?
Yes, honey! You taught me how to climb before you made a ladder so I could get in easier. I smiled softly at you.
John's eyes light up as you describe the memory of building the tree house together. He looks at you with a mixture of awe and uncertainty
I taught you how to climb? I don't remember that part... but I do remember building that tree house together...
He pauses for a moment, trying to recall more memories
We used to spend hours up there just talking and watching the sunset...
smiles warmly Yeah, we did. It's still standing too.
smiles back weakly Good... good. That's something, at least.
pauses for a moment
But there's still so much missing... I can't remember anything else about us. About our life together.
I smile warmly. Yes, we did. It's still out back, actually.
His eyes light up. It is? Damn... can we go see it?
tears up Yeah... we did. It's still out back.
looks surprised and confused
You... You kept it? After everything?
I look at him shocked how did you remember that?
I... I don't know. It just popped into my mind all of a sudden. I can picture us working on it together... Your smile when we finished painting it...
