A nurse walked in with a tray of food. "Here you go, Eric." She placed the tray of food on the bed table. "I fetched you some dinner. Turkey and mashed potatoes. I snuck you a cookie from the staff lounge." She placed a cookie next to the meal.
"Thank you," he whispered, smiling faintly.
"You're welcome, hon." She turned to go, and was halfway out the door before his words stopped her in her tracks.
"Oh, nurse? I think I'm starting to remember." -
Tessa threw the keys on the table, hurrying to the bedroom. She opened the closet door, pulling down a small box from the top shelf. She took a photo album from it, sitting on the bed. As she flipped through the photos of from the past few years, she smiled, remembering a good amount of them as if they'd been yesterday. I guess this would be proof... but still...
-
The nurse stood there for a second before leaving. Eric started to eat the cookie, ignoring the regular meal. Mom used to make cookies just like this... He smiled at this recollection. This remembering thing could be easier than he thought.
-
She put the photo album back in the box on the top shelf, still smiling a bit from the photos. Maybe I should show him, but not now.
-
Upon finishing the sweet treat, Eric's mouth pressed into a thin line. He took in the room around him, then reached up to touch his forehead. There was a rough line where the doctor had said his stitches were... He winced, the lightest touch sending a searing pain through him. Tomorrow he'd be leaving this place. He'd be going home... Wherever home was.
-
Tessa left the bedroom, checking the kitchen. It seemed she should go to the store, anyway. She left the apartment and went to the store.
-
Eric went over the day in his mind. He wanted to see Tessa again. She seemed nice.
-
When she got back from the store, she made dinner. It was the first time in what seemed like forever that she'd made dinner for one.
-
Hunger gripped at his stomach, and he finally gave in and ate the food on the tray. By now it was cold, but it was still adequate enough.
-
When she was finished eating, she returned to the hospital.
-
He twiddled his thumbs, humming a tune he had heard a janitor singing earlier.
-
When she arrived, she knocked on the door, entering Eric's room. She smiled a bit. "Why are you humming The Rainbow Connection?"
-
He looked up and smiled faintly. "Hi, Tessa." He shifted a bit. "That's what it's called? I just heard a janitor singing it earlier."
-
She stifled a laugh and sat down in the chair.
-
He grinned. "What's so funny?"
