“What do you mean?”
“Are you living life? Are you going to the store, cleaning, cooking, hanging out with your family?”
“No.”
“Okay.” She nodded her head. “What happened to you, happened, and there is nothing you can do to change that, Charlotte. You can either let the situation consume you or move on with your life. It’s very important that you get back to a daily routine and get back to your life. You can spend eternity searching for your lost memories, and they may never come back. I learned from my experience that life goes on, regardless of what happened.”
“I’m going to my office after I leave here,” I said.
“Good. That’s a start. Did you drive here?”
“No. I don’t have a car yet. Conner dropped me off, and I told him I’d take an Uber to the medical center after our appointment.”
“Did he fight you on that?”
“Yeah.” I smiled. “He said he’d wait, and I told him to go to work. His life needs to go back to normal.”
“Is that important to you? That his life goes back to normal?”
“Yeah, it is.”
“Tell me how you feel about him.”
“He seems like a great guy. He’s attentive, supportive, funny.” I smiled.
“That’s the second time you’ve smiled when you’ve talked about him.”
“It’s weird because even though I don’t remember him or our time together, I feel something in my heart for him.”
“That’s the love you have for him. Your heart wasn’t damaged in the accident, Charlotte. Only your brain was. That love you felt for him is still there inside you. I like to think of it as a soul mate situation. You can meet a total stranger and feel something deeply without even knowing why.” She glanced at her watch. “Our time is up for today. Your exercise for the week is to get back into a normal routine.”
“Okay. I will definitely try to do that.”
“I’ll see you at the end of the week.” She smiled as she walked me out of her office.
Sitting in the back of the car while heading to the medical center, I pulled up the photos on my phone and scrolled through them. There were countless photos of Conner and me, the girls and me, and of the family. Videos of our time on the beach, the bonfires, the music, and all the good times I apparently had. Dr. Bancroft was right. I needed to get back to my life, and I’d figure out everything else along the way.
The driver pulled up to the medical center, and I climbed out of the car. Walking up the stairs, I first stopped at Conner’s practice.
“Charlotte. Oh my god.” A woman from behind the desk got up, walked over to me, and hugged me tightly. “You look wonderful.” She smiled. “I’m June. I’m the boy’s receptionist, assistant, and sometimes their mother.”
I laughed. “It’s great to meet you once again, June. Is Conner in his office?”
“He is.”
“Thanks. Can you point me in which direction?”
“Down the hall and the second door on the right. It’s good to see you again, Charlotte.”
I walked down the hall and lightly knocked on his office door.
“Come in.”
Opening the door, I stepped inside.
“Charlotte.” He stood up, walked over, and kissed my forehead. “How was your appointment with Dr. Bancroft?”
“It was good. I need to get a new car.”
