bed. She tried to reach for it but he
got it for her.
“I’m
sorry I can’t hear you. You’ll have to write your answers on the pad.”
She
saw a look flash across his features that she didn’t really understand. Before
she could even study it, it was gone. For an instant, she thought she saw a
glimmer of pain.
Tony
took that moment to stretch out in his chair. When he saw she was awake, he
grinned, and she returned it.
“I’m
sorry, Tony. I was just about to explain to your friend here about my memory
loss and the fact I can’t hear.”
He
came over to stand on the other side of the bed. He motioned to the man for the
pad, who handed it to Tony.
Tony
wrote. ‘Do you recognize him?’
Jasmine
turned back to the man with the compelling eyes. She shook her head. “No. I’m
sorry. Do we know each other?”
His
mouth opened, then he shut it, taking the notebook from Tony. He wrote. ‘My name is, Baron Munro.’
She
frowned at Baron. His name was not familiar. She looked at him then back at
Tony again. “I’m sorry, Baron, but I don’t remember you. Are you two friends?”
He
shook his head, yes and wrote, ‘Yes, as
well as business partners.’
“Oh,
you work together.” She nodded. That’s probably why his eyes looked familiar.
He had pretty eyes, but after all he was a gorgeous man. Clearly, if he and
Tony were partners, she’d met him before.
“I’m
glad Tony has such a good friend to be with him right now.” She beamed at Tony,
who was gazing uneasily at Baron. “Is…is something wrong?”
Baron
shook his head, no, and smiled but it seemed strained, forced.
How
would she know that if she didn’t recognize Baron? But she did. She frowned
trying to concentrate harder on a memory that eluded her. The more she chased
it, the farther it drifted, and the ache in her head grew worse. She raised her
hand to her scalp just as the Doctor Kilgore entered.
The
physician nodded at both men then rested his gaze again on her. Another nurse,
her nametag revealing her name as Gladys, came in behind him with a wheelchair.
Baron got up and moved out of the way to make room for the doc and the other
woman. The man reached for the pad Baron had laid on the bed. After the doctor
wrote on it he turned it around so she could read it. She noticed he also spoke
to the others in the room. Jasmine read, ‘ We’re
going to take you down to imaging to run a few more tests and have an ENT take
a look at you.’
“Oh,
okay.” She said. “Will you be here when I get back?” she addressed Tony.
He
glanced over at his friend quickly then Doctor Kilgore before returning his
attention to her. The physician handed him the notebook.
‘Yes. I’ll be here. Baron and I will both be
here. He’ll keep me company.’ She looked at him then at Baron. “Thank you.”
Gladys
moved the wheel chair into place and helped her sit up on the bed. She shifted
to sit into a standing position. At that point, a moment of vertigo hit her.
She noticed Baron move forward to help her, but the nurse and the doctor both
supported her on each side. They got her in the wheelchair and wheeled her
toward the door. She twisted in the chair to glance behind her. Both men stood
beside the bed watching her leave. One wore an expression of worry on his face.
The other had a look of such sadness that made her touch her chest. The nurse
wheeled her out of the room and down the corridor where she couldn’t see either
man anymore. Something wasn’t quite right here. She stared at her ring again and
rubbed her finger over it. The action brought a rush of emotion she could only
call love. She did love her fiancé. If only she could remember him.
“You
okay?” Tony asked as soon as the nurse had left with Jasmine. Doctor Kilgore
had remained behind to speak with them for a moment.
Baron
brushed his hand through his hair. “No, man. I’m not.”
“I
take it she didn’t remember you?” the doctor asked.
Baron

“I’m
sorry I can’t hear you. You’ll have to write your answers on the pad.”
