58. Return To Memory

Sebastian

Everything I have tried does not work. It is like my Elena is here, but she is not. The stories I tell her of our times together don’t seem to jog her memory at all. The doctor thought it unwise to introduce our son to her so soon. He said it might be too jarring and we could lose her further than we already have. I also did not mention her parents or sister, since the former might be dead and the latter might be the one who caused it.

I am currently in our bedroom, sitting in our shared walk-in and staring at her clothes. They all still smell like her, even though they are clean and washed… they still had her scent on them. The ache in my heart hasn’t let up since she woke because when she looks at me all I see is emptiness - there is no love in her gaze. Sighing, I kill the light and walk out into our bedroom and sit down on her side of the bed. Would I ever make love to her in this bed again? Would I ever feel her embrace,
