My boyfriend, Seth Ellington, suffers from amnesia, and he has forgotten everything about me. His memories are frozen in the year when he was still in love with his first love, Lillian Summerfield. The doctor tells me there's a chance he can recover, so I stay by his side and help him through his treatment. For three years, I take care of him as neither his wife nor a member of his family, becoming the laughingstock of the town. People even place bets on when I'll give up and when Seth'll regain his memories. It all comes to a head when I go to pick him up from the bar and accidentally overhear his conversation with one of his friends. "Seth, I have to say, that little amnesia act of yours is brilliant. You get to be with Ms. Summerfield without having to hide it, and you've still got Calliope, that housekeeper you can't get rid of, taking care of things at home. However, if you marry Ms. Summerfield, what are you going to do about Calliope?" Seth scoffs. "What am I going to do about her? Calliope… can't live without me. When the time comes, I'll tell her that I'm marrying Lily because it'll help me regain my memories. She'll definitely believe me. "Knowing her, she'll wait for me to get divorced. Hell, even if Lily and I have a child, she'd happily raise it for me!" My mind goes blank as I'm rooted to the spot. So, he doesn't have amnesia. He's been pretending all along. Maybe this is for the best. From now on, he's free, and so am I.

Seth opened his mouth, but no words came out.I turned and walked back to the counter. Picking up the scissors, I continued trimming that bouquet of lilies. He stood rooted to the spot for what felt like an eternity. He stood there until the snow outside let up, the lilies were trimmed and arranged, and I eventually had to add water to the vase to keep them alive. "Cali." His voice was barely above a whisper, as if he was afraid of waking up a dream. "Can I ask you one last question?" I didn't look up."If we could turn back time, if I hadn't bailed on you at the altar, if I had gone through with the ceremony with you… would you be with me?" My hand froze in midair. At some point, the snow outside had stopped. Sunlight streamed through a break in the clouds and fell across the windowsill. I lowered my head and continued arranging the flowers. "No."He left. The wind chimes on the door rang for a long, long time. I kept my head down until the sound of his footsteps had co

I wasn't in a rush. I opened the shop every morning and closed it every evening, tending to the flowers and plants. Time seemed to slow down.Dad would drop by every few days to sit with me, helping me water the flowers. He didn't say all that much. When winter arrived, a heavy snowstorm hit. Business at the flower shop was virtually nonexistent, so I sat behind the counter, reading a novel. The door swung open, and the wind chimes rang. Without looking up, I said, "Welcome!" The footsteps came to a halt before me. I raised my head. Seth stood before me, his shoulders dusted with snow. He had lost a lot of weight. His eyes were deeply sunken, his beard was unevenly shaved, and he wore a thin black overcoat with leather shoes soaked through by melted snow. He looked as though he had run all the way from somewhere far away. "…Cali." His voice was so hoarse that I could barely recognize it. I remained silent. He stood at the entrance, as if he didn't dare to take another step

However, Seth hadn't lost his memory. He just didn't want to remember me. I had only two suitcases, just as I'd had when I first arrived. I placed the key on the entryway cabinet, beside the wristwatch. When I shut the door behind me one last time, my mind suddenly flashed back to three years ago. It had been pouring that day. He had been sitting in the car. The car window had rolled down just a crack, revealing half of his exhausted face. "The doctor told me I have amnesia," he explained. "They told me you're my girlfriend. I don't remember you. I'm sorry." I'd told him it was okay. All that mattered was I remembered him. I thought that was our new beginning. Little did I know, it was already the end. …My high-speed train back home was at 8:00 pm. I arrived at the station at 7:00 pm, dragging my two suitcases behind me. I sat on a plastic chair in the waiting hall and zoned out.The announcements kept repeating the train schedules. The station was bustling with people

Mom's caregiver handed me the box and looked as though she had something to tell me, but she didn't know how to word it.I was about to leave when she called after me. "Ms. Rosewood… there's something I don't know if I should tell you." "Go ahead.""While your mother was in the hospital, Ms. Summerfield visited her quite a few times. Sometimes, she came when you weren't around, and sometimes, Mr. Ellington accompanied her…" She looked at me cautiously and added, "She may have said some things in front of your mother. I'm not sure what they were, but every time Ms. Summerfield left, your mother always seemed to be in a bad mood." I hugged the cardboard box to my chest, my fingertips turning cold. "I understand. Thank you." I carried the box downstairs and ran straight into someone at the entrance to the inpatient department—Lillian. She was wearing a hospital gown under a knit cardigan, and her wrist was wrapped in thick gauze. The person supporting her was Seth. The three o
