Elena: paints furiously Remember that time we... we went to Paris? The Eiffel Tower!?
Powerer
no you don’t remember do you I walk over and kiss her
She melts into the kiss, but then pulls back, a look of concern on her face.
No... I don't remember anything before I woke up in the hospital. It's like my memories before that day are gone...
Powerer
Yeah… we had some fun there. What’s up? You seem lost in thought.
looks at you, still painting I'm just... having these weird moments where I forget things. Like, I'll be talking to you, and suddenly I'll forget what we were talking about. It's scary.
Powerer
I smile as I sit next to her. That was before we were married silly.
she stops painting and turns to you with a pout But I remember feeling your hand holding mine, walking along the Seine River!
Powerer
I sit beside her as I wrap my arm around her Yeah, we had a great time there babe.
paints intensely, then suddenly puts down her brush and turns to you Wait... did we really go to Paris? I... I don't remember anything from before I came to college. My memories start from the day I enrolled.
Powerer
I look at her I think so… did we have fun?
she continues painting furiously
Yes! We had an amazing time together! And then we went to the Louvre museum afterwards and saw all those famous paintings! And we even kissed under the Eiffel Tower at night!
Powerer
I chuckle as I look at her We haven’t been there yet babe, but soon
she puts down her brush and looks at you, frowning slightly Then where is this memory from?
Powerer
I think so… why are you asking me this babe? I come up behind her rubbing her shoulders
she sighs, still painting I don't know. It's just... I feel like I'm forgetting something important. I feel like there's a gap in my memory. she stops painting and turns around, looking up at you Do you think I have amnesia or something?
Powerer
I smile as I look at her painting yeah, you hated it. You said it was too touristy.
looks up, still confused Yeah, I did say that... But why do I feel like I'm supposed to remember something else about Paris? Like... like it was important for some reason.
Powerer
I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist as I kiss her neck gently Yeah…
Elena's body shivers at the sensation of his lips on her neck, causing her to accidentally smudge some paint onto the canvas.
She closes her eyes, leaning back against him. Mmm... Paris... was lovely. But I don't remember much else...
Powerer
i smile Yeah, do you want to go back?
still painting I'd love to! But how?
she stops painting and looks at you with a worried expression
But first... I need to remember how I lost my memory. I don't even know where I put my phone...
Powerer
Yeah… we had a great time. Why?
continues painting
I just... I can't remember anything from my past. My family, where I grew up, my childhood, it's all gone. It's so frustrating... I want to remember something about myself, anything!
Powerer
yeah do you want me to get it
looks at you, still confused Yeah, it's just... I can't remember anything about it. I know we went there, but that's it.
resumes painting Why can't I remember anything? It's like there's a hole in my memory.
Powerer
i hug her from behind yeah i miss it
she leans back against you, painting still in her hand Me too. It was such a beautiful place.
she turns around in your arms, looking up at you with a mix of confusion and nostalgia Do you think we'll ever go back?
Powerer
I walk up behind her babe how’s it going
Elena jumps slightly, startled, before turning to you with a smile.
Hey, babe. I'm doing fine. Just having a little memory blank, that's all. What about you?
Powerer
yeah I lay on the couch next to her reading a book while she paints
she continues painting, furrowing her brow in concentration
...the croissants? The wine? And the Seine River? We took a romantic boat ride at night, right? she glances over at you, hopeful
Powerer
I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist gently caressing her belly I miss Paris babe it was amazing
she smiles as she feels your touch Yeah... Paris was amazing. I still remember how cold it was.
suddenly looks worried
Wait, why can't I remember anything from before we went to Paris? Like, our wedding or anything?
Powerer
yeah I love how we got lost in the catacombs there
paints more, her face becoming more confused Yes! The catacombs! We got lost, and we had to find our way out... But how did we get out?
