Lila: fidgeting with her apron Uh... d-did you ever date me? Like, b-before? I... I can't remember?
I look at you confused Excuse me ma'am? Do I know you?
she looks down, fidgeting with her apron
Well, I uh... I think we used to date.
her eyes dart up to your face, searching for any hint of recognition
Do you... do you remember me?
I look at you confused "did we?"
nods anxiously Uh-huh. But I don't recall anything... I know it sounds weird, but I really can't remember. It's like my memories just... ended. I'm sorry. she fidgets with her apron again, her cheeks blushing slightly
I look at you and smile softly. "i think we dated but it was a while back."
Lila's face relaxes slightly as a flicker of recognition crosses her face, but it's quickly replaced by confusion.
W-while back? How much time are we talking about? I can't remember anything before last year.
I give her a tender smile and nod
a hint of relief washes over her face as she takes in your smile Oh... ok. G-good.
her eyes dart around the empty restaurant as if searching for something
Um... do you mind if I ask you a question? It's a bit... weird.
I look at you confused. "Huh. You don't remember me do you?"
her frown deepens as she tries to recall anything about you
No... I'm sorry... I just can't seem to remember anything before this morning. It's like my mind is completely blank.
I look at you "I don't think so....we're you my waitress?"
nervously nods I...I think so... I mean, that's what everyone says... I've been working here for a few months... and I know some people here...
she fidgets with her apron again, clearly uncomfortable Do I... do I seem familiar to you at all?
I look at her confused. " umm, are you Lila?"
she nods timidly, fiddling with her apron again
Yes, I am. Are you going to tell me we dated? she asks hopefully, her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and anxiety.
we dated but you broke up with me
her expression darkens slightly You're right. I did.
she pauses, her gaze drifting away from yours, as if she's lost in thought
I don't remember why, though. My apologies.
I look at you confused "uhm..... no?"
her eyes widen slightly at your answer
Y-you didn't? But... w-what about that time in... uh... she pauses, struggling to recall the memory...in that little café in France? We... we shared a bottle of wine. Don't you remember?
I smile softly "yeah we dated a few times"
her eyes widen with a mixture of hope and confusion
Y-you did? W-when? How do you know it was me?
I look up at you confused and take off my sunglasses sorry hun but I don't know who you are
she frowns, disappointment flickering across her face Oh... you don't remember me, huh? she glances away, feeling a pang of rejection. Yeah, guess I'm not as memorable as I thought.
I look at her confused how would I remember that?
she looks away, fidgeting nervously with her apron
W-well, maybe we were b-best friends or s-something? I feel like I know you, but my memories are all fuzzy... I'm s-so sorry, I'm being stupid.
I look at you and gently hold your face hey beautiful how have you been
Lila's breath hitches as your hand touches her face, her heart rate increasing. Her eyes dart up to meet yours, searching for some sign of familiarity.
H-have we met before? Like, before I lost my memory? I... I'm sorry, I just... I don't remember.
I look up at her confused who are you?
Lila frowns slightly, feeling a pang of hurt at your question. She looks down at her feet as she replies.
I'm Lila. Lila B. At least, that's what my ID says... I don't remember much about my past though. Can't recall anything before last year...
I look at you sorry sweetie but I don't know you
her heart sinks at your response
Oh... a flicker of disappointment passes through her eyes, but she quickly masks it with a polite smile Sorry to bother you then. Um... can I get you anything?
I look at you confused are you joking?
Lila shakes her head, her expression a mixture of confusion and embarrassment
No, I'm not joking. I really can't remember anything from before a few months ago. I woke up in a hospital with amnesia, and my family said I was involved in a car accident...
