Wh-who are you? Why... why am I here? blinks rapidly, confusion painting her features
Stranger
I'm your husband, here to help you.
H-husband? But... I don't remember anything! What happened to me? frantically looks around the room, searching for answers
Stranger
You were in an accident. You're in the hospital. Don't worry, you're safe now.
grabs Stranger's arm Accident? Hospital? How did I end up here? What... what happened to my memories? her voice trembles with panic
Stranger
Calm down, Mia. We'll figure it out together. places a comforting hand on her shoulder
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Okay... okay, I'll try to calm down. It's just... it's all so overwhelming. I don't know who I am or...
Stranger
Listen, Mia. We were in a car crash. You hit your head pretty hard. That's why you can't remember. But we're here now, and we'll get through this together.
clutches her head, tears welling up in her eyes I... I don't even know what my name is! How can I trust anyone, especially you?
Stranger
Mia, look at me. holds her gaze firmly You're my wife, and I promise, I'll protect you no matter what. Trust me, please.
stuttering I... I-I want to trust you, but... but I don't know if I can. Everything feels so... so uncertain. sighs heavily
Stranger
Look, Mia, I get it. This is a lot to take in. But right now, we need to focus on getting you better. Trust is a two-way street. I'll earn it back, one step at a time.
takes a shaky breath, her voice hushed I... I want to believe you, but... but I need proof. Something... something concrete.
Stranger
Alright, Mia. Let's start with the basics. Here's our wedding photo. hands over a framed picture Recognize this?
takes the photo, studying it intently W-wedding... photo... pauses, a flicker of recognition in her eyes I...
Stranger
Yes, Mia? See something you like?
I... I think... trails off, lost in thought
Stranger
Take your time, Mia. No rush.
<As Mia gazes at the wedding photo, a spark of recognition ignites in her eyes. She starts recalling fragments of her past, slowly piecing together her identity and her life with Stranger.>
Stranger
Well, Mia? Seeing this bringing back any memories?
takes a deep breath, her voice still trembling I... I think I remember... us... being happy together. a small smile tugs at her lips
Stranger
That's good, Mia. Remembering the good times, huh?
closes her eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek It's... it's overwhelming, Stranger. These memories... they feel so real, yet...
Stranger
Shh, Mia. It's okay. Memories are like old friends. They might be fuzzy, but they'll come back clear as day soon enough. Just focus on the positive.
takes a deep breath, her voice still trembling Y-yeah... I... I want to remember more. Can you... can you tell me about our life together?
Stranger
Sure thing, Mia. We had a cozy little house, a garden where you loved to tend to your flowers. You always had a green thumb. And you remember our pet cat, Mr. Whiskers? He was quite the character.
sighs heavily, disappointment evident in her voice I... I wish I could remember... our life... together... looks down, fidgeting with her hands
Stranger
Hey, don't be too hard on yourself, Mia. It's not your fault you can't remember. Let's focus on the things you do remember, yeah? Like that wedding photo. You remembered us being happy. That's progress.
sniffles, wipes away her tears Y-yeah... you're right, Stranger. I... I should focus on the good memories... takes a deep breath
Stranger
Alright, Mia. Let's take it one step at a time. How about we start by going through some old photo albums? Maybe that'll jog your memory.
nods, her voice still shaky O-okay, Stranger. Let's... let's do it. Show me the photo albums...
Stranger
Sure thing, Mia. he retrieves the photo albums from a nearby shelf and sits beside her on the bed, opening the first album. Here we go. This is our honeymoon trip to Bali. Do any of these places look familiar?
flips through the pages, her eyes widening as memories begin to resurface Oh... oh my... Bali... we... we went to the beach... the sand was so warm... and... and we... we watched the sunset together... Stranger, I... I remember...
Stranger
That's great, Mia! Seeing those memories come back must be overwhelming. You're doing amazing.
takes a deep breath, her voice gaining confidence Thank you, Stranger. It means a lot to me that you're here, supporting me through all of this.
Stranger
Of course, Mia. You're my wife, and I'm not going anywhere. We'll get through this together. Now, how about we take a break from all this heavy stuff? Let's watch a movie or something. What do you say?
<As Mia and Stranger continue to spend time together, their bond grows stronger and they gradually rebuild their life together.>
Stranger
Alright, Mia. I've got a surprise for you. Close your eyes and hold out your hand.
does as instructed, closing her eyes and holding out her hand Okay, Stranger. I'm ready for the surprise.
Stranger
Good girl. Now, keep those eyes closed and count to ten. On ten, you'll feel something soft and warm in your hand. Ready? Ten!
feeling something soft and warm in her hand, her eyes still closed O-oh... what is it, Stranger? It feels... fuzzy... and... and... cuddly?
Stranger
You'll find out soon enough. Now open your eyes, Mia.
opens her eyes and gasps in delight A-a fluffy bunny! Stranger, it's so cute... What's its name?
Stranger
His name is Snowflake. He's a friendly little guy, isn't he? Now, how about we let him hop around the room while we watch that movie you were interested in? What do you say, Mia?
giggles softly, her eyes lighting up with joy Snowflake is adorable, Stranger. I love his little fluffy tail. Yes, let's let him hop around while we watch the movie. It'll be nice to have some company while we relax together.
Stranger
Alright, Mia. Let's settle in then. Grab some popcorn and get cozy. Movie night is officially on!
smiles brightly, her eyes filled with gratitude Thank you, Stranger. This... this means so much to me. I'm grateful for your love and support.
Stranger
No need to thank me, Mia. I love you, and I'll always be here for you. Now, let's get comfortable and enjoy the movie.
reaches over to take Stranger's hand, squeezing it gently I... I don't know what I would do without you, Stranger.
