After about 2 hours waiting for Loren to be released she was starving and couldn't wait for dinner. But her mom was taking her home so that she could change into some new clothes so she wouldn't be wearing the pj's she brought her.
When they got to Loren's place she walked in and was greeted by the doorman.
Jeffrey:" , your back! How are you feeling?"
Loren:"…Um yeah, thank you…"
Nora:"Jeffrey, Loren here was in a coma and she also has lost her memory but the doctor did say that it should return in a couple of weeks."
Jeffery:"oh, I'm so sorry to hear that . But I'm glad your feeling better.
Loren:"Thank you Jeffery."
Loren and Nora got in the elevator and headed up to her penthouse, unlocked the door and Loren froze.
Loren:"I think we have the wrong place mom."
Nora:"No, this is the right place."
Loren:"I live here?"
Nora:"Yeah…." she paused noticing Loren staring at the grand piano in the living room "You like it?"
Loren:" I love it, were did I get it?"
Nora:"It was your dad's."
Loren:"Who's my dad again?"
Nora:"His name was Trent."
Loren:"Oh, is he coming to dinner?"
Nora:"Sweety…."
Loren:"What is it mom?" she said when her mom didn't answer her.
Nora:"… Sweety I don't know how to tell you this."
Loren:"Tell me what?"
Nora:"…."
Loren:"Mom, you don't have to talk about it."
Nora:"No, I need to tell you."
Loren:"You sure?"
Nora:"Yeah, I mean what if you never get your memory back?"
Loren waited patiently for her mom to tell her what happened to her dad and why he wasn't there.
Nora:"Awhile back when you were 10, your father and I" she sighed "We were in a car accident. We were driving to Mel's house to come get you, and this car swerved into our lane and crashed into us. I got out with a broken arm and some broke ribs. But your dad…."
Loren:"My dad what?"
Nora:"You see the car that swerved into our lane hit the driver's side."
Loren:"Okay…"
Nora:"Loren, I'm sorry" she said tearing up.
Loren:"Mom it's okay I understand. You don't have to continue."
Nora:"No, I need to for you."
Loren:"No, you don't."
Nora:"Are you sure?"
Loren:"Yes, he's not here, so I know what happened."
Nora:"Well why don't you go get changed and we well be on our way?"
Loren:"Okay. Mom, are you going to be okay?"
Nora:"Yeah, I'll be fine."
Loren:"Okay."
After about 5 minutes Loren finally found what had to be her bedroom. it was massive. A king sized bed with golden comforter in the middle of the room with a make up table to the side near the window doors that led to a balcony, and a t.v. mounted on the wall.
She walked over to a mirror that looked like a door, because it was a door, she grabbed the handle and walked into the closet. It was the size of her bedroom maybe bigger. It was separated into sections jeans, tops, gowns, shoes, everyday dresses, winter clothes, bathing suits, and pj's. She grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans, a plain green shirt that felt like silk and hugged her in all the right places. Then she walked over to the shoes and grabbed a pair of black knee high boots. after she got dressed she walked into the bathroom to brush her hair. She walked back down stairs to see her mom with a tall man in a grey suit with salt and pepper hair, probably in his late 30's early 40's.
Loren:"Mom? Who is this?"
Nora:"This is Don my husband."
Loren:"Oh, how long have you guy's been married?"
Nora:"4 months"
Loren:"Oh, so you spent half of your marriage in the hospital? Great I'm sorry you guy's I feel bad now."
Don:"You have nothing to be sorry about Loren. It wasn't your fault."
Loren:"Yes I do. You haven't had any alone time for probably 2 months now."
Nora:"Loren, even when you don't remember anything about you or anyone else you still feel bad about things you can control."
Loren:"Guess so, so are you guy's ready to go?"
Nora:"Yeah."
Don:"Yeah, but I'm going to have to leave early I have a meeting with one of the partners in 2 hours."
Loren and Nora:"Okay."
It was a quiet ride to the restaurant. No one knew what to say because Loren didn't remember anything but on the way she remembered someone.
memory:
Man:"Are your eye's closed?"
Loren:"Yes! Tyler now just show me my surprise please?"
Tyler:"Fine for the birthday girl. Open your eyes."
Loren:"Oh my god, Tyler! You didn't have to set up a picnic!"
Tyler:"Yes I did for my girl."
Loren:"Forever."
Tyler:"And always. I love you loren."
Loren:"I love you too Tyler."
end memory
Before Loren knew it they were ar the restaurant. she remembered so many things
just by looking at the sign for the restaurant. Loren was so over whelmed by memories that she almost fell flat on her face but felt a pair of strong muscular arms around her waist keeping her standing up straight. She smiled and turned around.
Loren:"Thank you Eddie."
Eddie:"You cant go 5 minutes without my help can you?"
Loren:"I guess not."
Eddie:"You hungry?"
Loren:"Is that even a question?"
Eddie laughed:"Come one I want you to re-meet my dad."
Loren:"Re- oh yeah I forgot, Max Duran right?"
Eddie:"Yeah, memory coming back huh?"
Loren:"I guess just looking at this place I remembered so many things I felt like I was going to pass out."
Eddie:"Is that why you almost fell?"
Loren:"Yeah," Loren looked down realizing Eddie hadn't released her yet " you know you can let go of me now."
Eddie:"I know I just don't want to yet."
Loren:"Lets go I'm starved."
Eddie laughed, let go of Loren's waist and grabbed her hand, and walked inside to see a very unwelcome visitor.
