Tabula Rasa

“This is true,” the doctor affirmed. “However. The answers he was giving to questions did not seem like merely a case of him being confused about what had happened. He seems to have no recall of tonight’s events or the preceding weeks.”

Teagan opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again. The doctor couldn’t be saying what Teagan was trying to understand. That was the kind of thing you heard on medical shows and Loribeth’s soap operas.

“What?” he finally asked, knowing he sounded like an idiot.

“More tests are needed,” the doctor said gently. “He’ll receive neuropsychological testing to confirm, as well as another MRI. He had one tonight already. A full personal history will be taken by a mental health professional tomorrow.”

“You mean amnesia,” Teagan said, fixing his eyes on Cash. God, the word even sounded like a soap opera.

“Possibly,” the doctor said. “It seems there has been some memory loss, yes. But we don’t know. It’s impossible to tell tonight, especially with the concussion. Tomorrow will tell us more.”

“Tomorrow,” Teagan repeated, moving closer to Cash’s side. “Yeah, okay. He goes up to a room tonight?”

“Right now,” the doctor confirmed. “If you’ll go out to the waiting room, they’ll call down and let you know when you can come up.”

The next half hour moved by too quickly for Teagan to separate events. He was ushered to the waiting room, then just as efficiently ushered up to Cash’s hospital room where he planted himself in a chair and watched nurses come and go, watched as Cash’s doctor wrote more things on his chart, and watched Cash lie unmoving through it all. Cash wasn’t unconscious; they’d told him that downstairs, so he was either asleep or pretending to be.

One nurse turned the lights down very low and then there was sudden, blessed quiet as Teagan found himself the only one left in the room. He glanced around, noting in his exhaustion that it was a private room, then dragged his chair to the side of Cash’s bed and rested an arm on the sheets next to Cash’s still body.

Teagan fell asleep at two in the morning, head on Cash’s bed, listening to his shallow breaths.
