So I actually finished this chapter, it only took me forever(!). I would really like to know what you think bout this one :)
"Amelia" Owen covered his eyes with his hand, the light from the corridor blinded him, and he couldn't see what she was holding in her hand "what is it?"
"It's a ring, engagement ring with a huge rock if to be exact. Why nobody told me that we were about to get married?" Amelia's head spanned and she sat on the bed, feeling as if she about to lose her consciousness.
"Amelia" Owen whispered and came closer to her, he put a hand on her shoulder, "I didn't want to make you feel more confused then you already are, and I didn't want to force you in to this before you are ready. I know you will remember us, it may take time but I am ready to wait as long as needed".
Amelia looked at him hypnotized, she stood up and walked out of the room leaving Owen behind. When she got to her room she whipped her tears, only then she realized she was crying.
The next day Amelia was determined to forget about the ring that felt like she was burning a hole in her pocket. She decided to check every possible place in the house in search of something that will recover her memory and keep the awkward silence between her and Owen to a minimum. She went through her cloth first, her style like everything else in her life change. Her cloth become longer and more adult. But this wasn't what caught her eye, the other side of the closet did. His side. She moved her hand through the fabric of the shirts, her hands moved and she felt like she isn't controlling them, she just had to. A nock on the door awaked her from her daydreaming.
"Hey, Amelia I was thinking of going for a walk, the doctors recommended it so…" Amelia heard Owen's voice behind the door. Then she heard his steps walking away.
"Wait a second" she called and followed him, she couldn't breathe "I could use some fresh air".
"Oh, really?" Owen was more than surprised "I mean sure, we could go drink some coffee on our way home".
"So we came here often?" Amelia asked as they sat next to the corner table in the cozy coffee place.
"As often as we could" Owen smiled behind the menu "with our schedule it was a bit difficult to find the time, but you really liked it here".
"Yes it's nice here" Amelia looked around her, it was nice and so different from the places she was used to hang in.
"What are you ordering?" Owen asked.
"I am not sure what is good, what I usually order?" Amelia wondered.
"Coffee" they both answered with a smile to Amelia's question.
"Yeah" Owen smiled "you like their chocolate cake".
"Ok, then I will take it" Amelia decided "it's nice, you know… Sitting here with you and drinking coffee, it is so different from what I am used to, but it's nice" Amelia said.
"Then what are you thinking about the weather?" Owen asked after a few moments of awkward silence while they were waiting for their orders.
"Seriously?" Amelia laughed, "You really want to talk about the weather? Cause' not talking is better. Come on Owen, you can do better".
"Is that a dare?" He smirked "what do you want to talk about? I can tell you about your life here if you want".
"I would love that, everyone always talk about anything but work which makes me feel like I am only here because of Derek" Amelia sounded as if she was joking but Owen knew her better. She told him, years ago about her fear to become the wrong Shepherd and he felt he had to hug her and banish that feeling of her, but in the current situation he knew he can't do it, so he did the second best thing.
"You can be sure no one thinks you are here because of that, you proved yourself already. You had this big surgery…" while Owen was telling her all about Dr Harman's surgery he watched her, how her eyes shined as she listened, she smiled even without realizing it. It proved him that never mind what, she is still there, his Amelia, the woman he loves, the woman he was waiting to wake up next to for the rest of his life, the one he was planning to get old with, she was still here and he was ready to wait for her until she will want it all too.
