Chapter 8
A month had gone by since Tamara had visited the home but only twenty-five days since Katie had said her first words in sixteen years and she had said nothing since but Mary had taken note of this in a book encase it happened again and she decided to keep but she still thought of the girl who had come a month ago and hadn't come back but Mary knew Tamara had said at least a year before she would come back and it would help Katie but Mary thought in what kind of way would it help her Mary thought that she would take test of some sort but really she didn't understand it.
Katie still looked distant and still sat close to the window Mary always watched Katie from kitchen doorway well she mainly watched the other people who couldn't remember their lives those with no memory of who they were none of them remembered and some died in the home of loneliness but it was Katie who Mary mostly watched Mary was surprised that something hadn't happened to Katie yet because she being the longest person around sixteen years stuck without no memory Mary had thought of looking up Katie and her family in records but she thought less of it after a few days because she knew everything from Jack.
As Mary watched Katie today though Mary noticed that Katie had her eyes closed she was sleeping but Mary still watched her as cars went by on the road outside and kids played in the park across the street but nothing made Katie open her eyes as Mary watched her a man and a woman walked across the window outside they were coming to the home and Mary knew who they were, they were a visitor for another person in the home so Mary moved from her spot and stepped into the hallway to open the door the man and the woman smiled at her.
"Hi," Mary said with a smile and let them in "He's in his room"
Mary watched as both man and woman went up to visit their son she wished that it could be like this with Katie that someone would visit her but she also wished that Katie remembered who she was she wished that Katie had all of her memories instead of none. Mary moved back to the kitchen doorway to re-watch the few that were in the room she noticed that Katie's eyes were open now and were looking out of the window.
"You know it's a beautiful day outside we could take them into the back garden," A voice said from behind her making Mary turn around
"Yes it is isn't it" Mary replied and looked back at Katie
"Mary dinner is ready this is Katie's"
"Thank you, Mark" Mary replied as she took the plate of food from Mark and walked over to Katie.
"Hey Katie time to eat you should see what we've got you today," Mary said Katie as she looked from Katie to the food on the plate Katie just sat there "Perhaps you should eat it smells lovely" But as Mary began to pick up the fork Katie spoke
"Doctor," she said with a whisper making Mary look at her
"What did you say"
"Doctor" Katie said again but I bit more loudly this time making Mark who was near another table look at her
"You want a Doctor?" Mary asked Katie as she looked at Mark
"Heart and soul, Body and Mind, Heart and soul, Body and mind Meet me on the river of time" Katie then said or rather sang quietly both Mary and Mark both heard her Mary stepped away and walked over to Mark
"What do you think this is Mark?"
"I don't know"
"Perhaps she's remembering something," Mary said to him
"But it doesn't make sense how can this help?"
"Perhaps she's remembering the Doctor who treated her in the hospital"
"River of time though?"
"You know your right it doesn't make sense I'm going to call Jack" Mary then walked out of the room
