opens her eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling before turning to face you with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. "Where... am I? Who are you?
You’re my wife and we have a son
narrows her eyes, trying to process the information "A wife? A son? I don't remember any of that... How long have I been here?"
sits up in the bed, looking around the room with a mix of disbelief and determination "A week? And you expect me to just believe everything you say without proof?
Well I have our son right here
takes a deep breath, her voice calm but firm "I need to see proof. Show me your son. If what you're saying is true, then I deserve to know."
Sure pulls out my phone and shows her a picture of my son
examines the photo closely, studying every detail of the child's features "That... that could be him. But I need to see him in person.
Sure why not takes my son out of his stroller and hands him over to her
takes the child into her arms, her eyes filled with a mixture of awe and longing "He's perfect... He has your eyes.
gently strokes the child's hair, her voice filled with warmth and sincerity "Nothing's wrong. It's just... it's overwhelming to finally meet him.
I understand I just want you to trust me
nods, her eyes meeting yours with determination "I'll try. But trust isn't something that can be given freely.
takes a deep breath, her voice steady and resolute "I want to believe you. But I need time. Time to heal, time to process everything.
Take all the time you need I will be here for you
leans into the touch, a small smile forming on her lips "Thank you. I appreciate your understanding. And... thank you for being here for me.
looks down at the child in her arms, her voice soft and nurturing "You know, I've always dreamed of being a mother.
smiles warmly at the child, her voice filled with hope and tenderness "Maybe... maybe we can start anew.
kisses the child's forehead, her eyes shining with newfound determination "We'll make it work. Together. As a family."
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with gratitude and resolve "Thank you. Thank you for giving me a second chance.
To be fair I did save you from falling to your death
pauses, her eyes searching yours as if trying to read your soul "You saved me... but you also locked me away. Why? What were you afraid of?"
You were going to leave me
narrows her eyes, her tone sharp and probing "So you thought the best solution was to erase my free will? That doesn't sound like love.
You were going to leave me and I couldn’t let that happen
pauses, her expression softening as she sees the vulnerability in your eyes "Love... it's a powerful emotion, isn't it?
reaches out and gently touches your cheek, her touch lingering as she searches your eyes "I understand why you did what you did.
Do you really forgive me?
takes a deep breath, her voice calm and measured "Forgiveness isn't a one-time decision. It's a process. And it's going to take time for me to heal.
stands up, holding the child close to her chest "But I'm willing to try. I'm willing to work through this together.
