"Nina, honey how are you feeling?" I asked.

"Ugh my head hurts." She replied.

I glanced at the doctor. "That's perfectly normal." She assured me.

"Where am I?" Nina asked.

"You're in the hospital. You were in a car accident. You suffered some brain injury but you should be fine now." The doctor answered.

"Was anyone else in the accident with me?" She asked.

I glanced at the doctor again. "Don't you know who I am?" I asked.

"Of course." Instant relief. "You're my doctor." Pain.

I slowly crossed to the side of her bed.
"Nina, I'm your husband." I said quietly.

She glanced at my face for a moment before glancing at her left hand. There, where I had placed it during that first hospital visit was her gold wedding band. She looked at me again shocked. I reached out to touch her arm in comfort and she cringed away from me. It was then that I left the room.

"Mr. Rutter. Mr. Rutter!" The doctor called after me.

"You said her tests were fine! You said she'd be fine." I said angrily.

"Brain injuries are tricky-"

"She doesn't even know who I am. She doesn't even know me." I replied walking away. I found a small corner of the hospital, sat down, and cried.
