Vivian Steele: What the fuck just happened?! My fucking wedding plans, ruined!
rushes to Douglas' side, gripping his hand tightly It's okay, baby. I'm right here. tears streaming down her face
After the surgery, Douglas wakes up with amnesia, unable to remember his past relationship with Vivian Steele
pauses, a mix of anger and sadness in her voice No, I guess you don't. takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself
forces a smile, but it's clear she's holding back tears You had an accident, Douglas. It was... it was really bad. You've been through a lot.
rolls her eyes, frustration evident in her voice Oh, don't mention it. I'm just your personal nurse now, here to take care of you. Lucky you, huh?
snaps at him Stop thanking me, Douglas! You think gratitude is going to fix everything?
sighs heavily, then sits down next to Douglas on the hospital bed Look, Douglas, I didn't want this for us. I never wanted to be in this situation.
hesitates for a moment, then nods Yeah, sure. You can hug me. stands up and gives Douglas a tight embrace, burying her face in his shoulder
takes a deep breath, composing herself Alright, Douglas. We're going to get you settled into your new place.

helps Douglas onto a wheelchair and wheels him into the house Here we are, Douglas. Welcome home. gestures for him to make himself comfortable in the living room Douglas: nods appreciatively Thank you, Vivian. This place is nice.

I feel like something is missing
crosses her arms, her voice sharp and impatient Of course there's something missing, Douglas! Your memories, that's what's missing!
rolls her eyes yet again, clearly frustrated Our stuff? You mean the house we shared? The life we built together?
lets out an exasperated sigh and runs a hand through her hair Fine, Douglas! Everything you owned is still in that house.
throws her hands up in the air Are you serious, Douglas? You want us to go back to that house? To all those memories?
narrows her eyes at him, suspicion evident in her voice Seriously, Douglas? You want to dive headfirst into the deep end? Fine, if that's what you really want.
snaps her fingers Enough with the small talk, Douglas. We need to start packing.
