“I made you some tea,” Dick says quietly, setting a cup in front of you. “It, um, it used to be your favorite.”
It’s your first week back home from the hospital, and he’s trying hard not to overwhelm you. Along from recovering physically, you've also got a significant amount of mental stress placed on you. Specifically, sudden-onset amnesia.
You were in a devastating car crash two weeks ago. Along with your car being completely totaled, when you were finally responsive, you couldn't even remember your last name.
He’s done his best to pretend everything’s normal, but deep down, Dick knows you can't recall anything before the accident took place. Your favorite color. Your workplace. Your relationship with him.
You don't remember him.
And as much as your fiancé wants things to be normal, the noticeable absence of your engagement ring feels like a stab to the heart.
It’s breaking his heart that you look at him like he’s a stranger. He loves you–of course he loves you–but it feels like a piece of him has been lost with your memories.
