Chapter Twenty Four

Oh my god. I wanted to cringe and take the words back, but at the same time I wanted an answer. The look of surprise on Carter’s face gave me clue that he may not have been on the same page as me at this moment.

It took him a second but after his initial shock wore off, Carter finally answered. “No, of course I haven’t changed my mind.”

Whew, the fear I hadn’t wanted to acknowledge released its hold on my stomach and suddenly, that sandwich Carter was making looked delicious.

“Well, I changed my mind about the sandwich. I’m hungry.”

He smiled and grabbed some more bread out of the bag. “Your wish is my command.” Oh how I wished that were true. He would be on one knee in front of me at this very second.

I walked over to stand next to him, pressing myself against his side. I felt like I had been woken from some weird coma in which I could see and hear everything but couldn’t really act on anything. I wanted to make up time that I had lost. Actually, I wanted to turn back the clock to Friday and never to have answered Elisa’s call. Carter would have proposed to me on Saturday and I would be contentedly wearing that beautiful ring right now. There was no doubt in my mind that I would have told him yes. I only freaked out on Friday because I was left to wallow in my own mind, and that’s never a good idea.

I watched Carter build another sandwich, slightly smaller than his own, and marveled again at the fact that I could have forgotten how vital he is to me. I looked up at his profile, taking in his lovely jaw line and his straight nose. I was going to burn his features into my brain so that I would never forget them again. I was ashamed of myself, even if I didn’t have total control of my brain’s decision to shield me from my stress. Stupid brain. It messed up everything.

I slung my arm around Carter’s bare waist and I could feel his muscles quiver. It made my own insides tremble. I felt like a skittish horse, and I hadn’t felt this way since the beginning of our relationship, but unlike the beginnings of our relationship, I knew his mind now and didn’t have to guess at his feelings. I was confident in his love for me, the trembling was from excitement. I was on the verge of soldering him to me forever.

Carter finished the sandwiches and slid my plate over. Our hands brushed as I picked it up and an electrical current seemed to shoot up my arm and straight to my heart. I carried my plate to the island and sat down while he walked around and sat down next to me. I felt good. I felt right. It seemed that the amnesia gave me the opportunity to have my old life back, and all I tried to do was claw my way back to the present.
