Chapter 22

A Memory

"Aren't they a cute couple?" Asked Marie, a young Parisian nurse. Her fellow coworker and friend Kathleen smiled as she turned her attention away from Theresa and Fox who were soundly asleep. "Yes... they look so peaceful in each other's arms." She responded quietly.

"I did not have the heart to tell him that visitor's hours were over so I let him stay there with her, it's not every day that you see a victim of amnesia let a person get that close to them." "I agree they must have had a really strong connection before this all happened." Said Kathleen as she turned her attention back to the resting couple.

"Poor girl, I hope she gets her memory back soon." Said Marie, taking a peek at them. Kathleen nodded in agreement. "What are you girls doing? Get back to work." Ordered Theresa's doctor, walking up behind them. The two startled nurses sped off at the sound of his voice, immediately getting back to their duties.

The doctor shook his head and gave a small chuckle before peeking into the room himself. He was suppose to check Theresa's vital signs but knew it could wait until they were both fully awake.

Theresa's eyes fluttered open. She had had the most wonderful dream. She had dreamt that she was on a beautiful beach running against the magnificent waves the beautiful sun's rays shone upon the sand making it glitter as if it were gold. She could tell that she was happy by the way she laughed... she remembered that Fox had been with her. The dream had really been more like a slide show with all the sounds attached she hadn't remembered every detail but she did remember one thing and that was the kiss that the two of them had shared.

'That's the disappointing thing about dreams you always have to wake up sooner or later.' Thought Theresa glumly. A small smile broke across her lips as she felt Fox's steady breathing against her back. At that moment she wanted to turn around and watch him as he slept but thought against it when she knew if she did he would wake from his slumber.

She heard him moan a little in his sleep. She could hear him whisper her name. Theresa couldn't contain herself so she moved his hand a little as she slowly turned around praying that he wouldn't wake. She turned and lay successfully without waking him.

Fox gave a small sigh as he slept on. 'I had to be in love with you... cause that's all I feel for you now.' S thought placing her hand gently on his cheek. Fox smiled before slowly opening his eyes. "Hello beautiful." He said quietly. "Morning Fox." Said Theresa with a smile.

"How long have you been awake?" Fox asked. "Just woke up," Said Theresa, "I had this weird dream..." "Oh and did this weird dream involve a gorgeous guy?" "How did... no..." "You can't fool me Theresa, what happened in this dream?" "That's for me to know and for you... well you won't be able to find out."

"I won't be so sure Theresa... I do have my ways." "Oh really and what might these ways be?" She asked giggling. "This for one!" Said Fox as he began to tickle her. "Fox..." Theresa yelped as he began to tickle her. She began to laugh hysterically. "Fox... stop." Theresa said in between laughing. "Not until you tell me about this dream." He said continuing to tickle her.

"Ok, ok, I'll tell you." Theresa said trying to escape his arms. When he let go she took an intake of breath and wiped at a tear of laughter. "Well I was on a beach and... well you were with me it was such a beautiful day..." "Go on..." "And well we kind of..." "Kind of what?" Said Fox giving her one of his smiles. "Kissed." Fox's smile faltered for a minute. "Theresa that wasn't a dream that was a memory."

"A memory?" "Yeah." Fox sighed running his hand through his hair that day had been both the happiest and the worst day of his life. The day he had realized he had fallen in love with her and the day that led to the news of losing her. "What's wrong Fox?" "Nothing, I'm fine." He said giving her a reassuring smile.

"I can't believe I got a memory back! This is so exciting... next thing you know I'll get it all back." "I know I can't wait." He said embracing her. "I'm going to talk to your doctor to see when you can leave." "Great, hurry back." Theresa said with a smile. She lay back down and closed her eyes.

Fox left the room and quickly searched for Theresa's doctor. He found him looking over some documents at the front desk. "Excuse me doc." Called Fox as he walked over to him. "Oui" "I wanted to ask you when Theresa will be able to leave the hospital." The doctor turned and faced Fox. "She will be able to leave today right after a few tests."

"That's great, thank you." The doctor gave a small nod and then walked away looking over the papers in his hands. "Oh Theresa I hope you get your memory back soon."
