The doctor ran up to Gil with a smile on his face.
"I was looking all over for you" he smiled " she's awake!" he turned and led Gil back to
Catherine's room.
Gil slowly walked inside, and calmly sat down beside her bed. Her eyes were closed and
he did not want to startle her.
"Catherine" he whispered.
She did not respond
"Catherine" he paused " it's me, its Gil" still no response
Gil reached over with one hand and softly stroked her face.
"Catherine" he called again
Catherine's eyes quickly opened and her head snapped to the side.
"Hey" Gil whispered to her "welcome back" he smiled
Catherine did not respond to him.
Gil watched her as her eyes widened with fear.
"Who are you?" she whispered to him. Catherine tried to get up from her bed.
Gil tried to calm her.
"Catherine stay in your bed." Gil put a hand out for her.
Catherine backed away
"What do you want? Where am I?"
"Catherine" Gil stood up " It's me Gil"
After trying to stand on her broken leg and fractured ankle Catherine screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Gil ran to her side to help her up.
"Catherine?" she sat up in the bed "that's my name?"
"Do I know you" she looked at him awkwardly as he helped her to her bed.
"Yes for twenty years, were best friends, we work together, were in love, you have a daughter, Lindsey, you were in a car accident you just don't remember right now, but I am telling the truth."
She starred at him in confusion.
