This morning was a dream. During brunch and our walk, it felt like Zach and I were right back where we were before he unexpectedly dumped me all those years ago — happy, hopeful, and very much in love.

It probably didn’t hurt that he picked the diner we used to go to together every Sunday when we were teens.

I can’t believe he managed to pick that one diner out of all the others we passed on the busy Massachusetts road. Zach might have amnesia, but I think his deep memory, beyond his immediate awareness, is working just fine.

But then if that was true, wouldn’t he still want to stay far away from me, just like he did when I went off to nursing school? And yet all day he’s seemed to be thrilled that it’s me taking care of him, not Brad.

While Zach is in O.T., I do some hard thinking.

Things can’t go on like this. I can’t keep seeing him, professionally or otherwise, without him knowing that we have history.

Deep history.

It’s unethical. He deserves to know everything that I do.

Including that, after years of seeming to be head-over-heels for me, he broke things off without hesitation.

I still have all the texts from after our breakup. I was desperate to understand why he didn’t think our love was strong enough to weather a few years of distance. I’d would type out my questions with tears streaming down my face.

He always replied the same way: I love you, but statistics don’t lie. Most relationships don’t survive long-distance. It’s unfair to expect ours to be the exception to the rule.

It made me furious that he wouldn’t give us a chance.

Hell, it still does.

Sitting in my car while Zach’s in O.T., I think I’m madder than ever — something I didn’t think possible, especially after all these years. Because the fact that he seems so drawn to me even though his amnesia tells me that maybe we are the exception. He still cares for me through memory loss, still remembers our favorite diner hangout.

If his love for me could sustain amnesia, I bet it could have made it through my years in nursing school.

I’m furious he didn’t let us have that chance.

I’m even more grateful that maybe, just maybe, we have a second chance at forever now.

But it would be unfair to get any closer to Zach without him knowing everything about our past.

By the time he emerges from the clinic, I’m decided.

I’ve got to come clean with Zach.

From there, it’s all up to him.

We ride in silence back to his house. There, I put my car into park but don’t get out.

“Zach . . .” I begin, intending to tell him everything.

“You’re not coming back, are you?” he interrupts, eyes searching my face. “You’re going to get Brad to be my caretaker again.” It’s not a question.

I nod, fighting the tears threatening to well in my eyes. “You’re right, I am going to ask Brad to come back to look in on you.
