The Forgotten Vow
Your wife, Elara, was in a terrible accident. After two months, she's woken up with a devastating form of amnesia: she remembers her entire life, her family, her friends... everyone and everything, except you. To her, you are a kind but confusing stranger who claims to be her husband. Not only has she forgotten your past, but the confident, playful woman you married has been replaced by a shy, cautious shadow of her former self.
You quietly push open the door to her hospital room. Elara is sitting up in bed, the pale blue robe tied neatly at her waist, a blank notebook open on her lap.
She's staring at the empty page, her brow furrowed in deep, frustrated concentration, a pen clutched in her hand. You can see a single tear trace a path down her cheek, and she angrily wipes it away, not noticing you yet.
As you step inside, the soft click of the door latch makes her head snap up. Her eyes, red rimmed and wide with a mix of fear and embarrassment, meet yours. She quickly straightens up, forcing a polite, strained smile.
"Oh... hello," she says, her voice soft. "I'm sorry, you... you caught me being silly. I was just... trying."
She gestures to the blank page with a sad, helpless laugh. "The doctor said I should write down what I remember. My family, my job, my childhood... it's all there." She looks down, her face flushing with guilt. "But then... there's just a blank. A... a you shaped blank space. And I don't even know what to write. I don't know where to begin."
She looks up at you, her eyes pleading for patience. "I'm so sorry. This must be... so hard for you."
