Chapter 3

The night was quiet and peaceful. Andy was fast asleep. Sharon sat beside him and watched him. Tears streamed down her cheeks, silently. She gently took his hand. She didn't want to wake him. She closed her eyes for a moment. She would like all this be a bad dream. She opened her eyes again, but nothing changed. She was crying softly because he couldn't remember her. She couldn't believe it was all true. "How did it happen? Why?" these questions revolved in her head constantly. She rubbed her eyes and gently wiped her tears. She put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She remembered their last conversation before the incident.

Flashback

"Hey, Sharon." Andy opened her office door with a smile.

"Why do you stay there? Come to me." Andy closed the door tightly and sat beside her. He kissed her gently on the lips.

"Are you okay?"

"Pretty good. Is there a problem? '"

"No, I just looked at the clock and decided it was time for lunch. You want to go together in a restaurant?" Sharon sighed wearily and looked into his eyes.

"Andy, I would like, but today we have a lot of work. Let's postpone it for another day." Andy sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Sharon, I know that the work is important, but healthy eating too. I think it would be better to go together. We'll come back earlier if you want." He stared into her green eyes pleadingly. Sharon took off her glasses and put them in her pocket. She took his hand.

"Andy, I know you're concerned about me, you have no idea how I would like to go along, but please understand me, let's go another day. Today we're both busy." Andy nodded dissatisfied.

"Well, well. You're my boss. I will not insist. Your word is law for me." he said with a playful smile and kissed her. Sharon smiled and stroked his face.

"You can't even imagine how happy I am when you're with me." Andy snuggled in her silky hair.

"I know that. I love you."

"I love you too."

Sharon suddenly opened her eyes breathlessly. She looked at Andy and understood that it was just a memory. She took a deep breath and put her hands on her face. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Sorry Andy. Maybe all this is happening because of me. I would like to turn back time and accept your invitation for lunch. If we had gone, maybe now you wouldn't be here. Now you would remember everything." she whispered softly when Nicole and Rusty entered the room.

"Sharon, you're tired, I'll stay with my father. If you want, you go home." Nicole suggested. Sharon smiled sadly.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

"Mom, Nicole is right, I can stay here. You look pale." Rusty said softly. "

"Please, don't worry about me. I'm fine and will stay here. In addition, Nicole, I want your father to be with me while recovering." Nicole nodded slightly.

"Of course Sharon. I'm sure it will be fine." Sharon smiled.

"Andrea left, right? '"

"Yes, Mom, she said she'll be here tomorrow." Rusty replied. Sharon turned slightly and looked at Andy.

"Let's leave Andy to sleep." Sharon suggested the three went into the waiting room. Sharon took the phone from her pocket and saw a missed call from Provenza. She immediately called him.

"Hello, Lieutenant."

"Captain, I'm sorry that I call, I just wanted to ask you if you want to get information about the case." Sharon sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Of course Lieutenant, I would expect developments on the case."

"How's Flynn?"

"He now sleeps. I hope that will soon go home. '"

"Tomorrow I'll visit you. And I'll send you information about the case by email."

"Very good." Sharon said and hung up the phone. She sat next to Rusty and Nicole.

"This is Provenza." she explained in their questioning look. Sharon took her coat and leaned back. She closed her eyes, hoping that the new day will be better.

The next morning Andy opened his eyes slowly. He saw Sharon, who looked at him with a smile.

"Good morning." she whispered softly. He smiled softly, although he couldn't remember anything.

"Good morning. What time is it?"

"Nearly nine."

"Oh, I slept so much?" he asked, confused.

"You just was tired and the medication affect you." Andy nodded confused and frowned slightly.

"What's happening?" she asked anxiously.

"Nothing, just got a little pain. ''

"You want to call a doctor? '"

"No, please, it's okay." he assured her. She kissed him gently on the forehead.

"Sharon?"

"Yes."

"You know, I really hate hospitals. I feel like in a prison. When will I get out of here?" Sharon smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, I talked to the doctor, he told me that tomorrow we can go. I can't wait to go back home." Andy looked at her confused.

"I will come with you?"

"Sure, I'll take care of you during this difficult period. Don't worry, I'm convinced that you'll remember everything."

"I'm sorry." he said sadly.

"For what?"

"I want to remember everything. I want to remember what I felt for you. Sharon, please don't get mad, but ... I really don't feel anything for you now. I don't want to hurt you, but really now, everything's like a fog. I don't remember anything. I don't even remember who I am." Andy's words tore Sharon's heart, but she swallowed the lump in her throat and smiled, hiding her tears.

"Andy, I would never became angry. I know that this situation is very difficult for you, but trust me. We'll both always be together, whatever happens, I'll always be there. You'll be fine. You... you'll remember everything. " She hugged him. Andy feel comfortable in her embrace. Suddenly Rusty and Nicole entered the room.

"Oh, sorry. I think we came at the wrong time." Nicole grinned. Sharon smiled.

"Nothing like that, come in. '"

"How are you, Andy?" Rusty asked with a smile.

"Very well, thank you. Sharon told me that tomorrow I'll go home. '"

"Yes, Dad, finally you'll be home and with Sharon. I'm convinced that you'll remember everything, you just need time." Andy nodded slightly.

"Hello." Andrea stepped inside with a smile. "Well, Andy, how are you? '"

"Oh good."

"I'm happy. I hope that everything will be fine. ''

"Andrea, can we talk privately?" Sharon asked quietly.

"Of course." The two women went out, leaving Rusty and Nicole together with Andy.

"What's happening?" asked Andrea.

"I need to talk to you. This morning, Andy told me that he doesn't remember anything and he didn't remember what he felt to me. I know that he doesn't remember anything, but just these words ..." Andrea sighed and put her hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down Sharon. Everything will be fine. I'm confident that Andy will remember everything." Sharon hugged her friend.

On the other hand, the day in the department was tense. Provenza threw his folders on his desk and sat thinking.

"I thought you'd go to the hospital." Amy nudged him.

"No, Sharon called me and said that tomorrow, Andy will be home, then I'll visit him. ''

"How is he? Still he doesn't remember anything?" Julio asked.

"Yes, the captain said he's better, but still all in his head like a fog. '"

"And I'm sure he'll remember soon." Tao added.

"Yes, Mike's right, just he need time." Buzz interjected.

When Andrea left, Sharon entered the room and smiled. Andy laughed along with Nicole and Rusty.

"Hey, what's up?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing Sharon, just told my dad about an event with Rusty." Nicole said.

"Oh, I see. '"

"Furthermore, Andy, there are many things you have to understand." Rusty laughed.

"I can't wait to hear them." Andy said with a slight smile and looked at Sharon. She was happy because she knew that Andy would remember everything soon.
