The kids POVAva walked ahead of everyone as they made their way down the hallway, her little hand firmly wrapped around Eli’s. She was walking faster than she usually did, almost as though she was afraid that if she slowed down for even a second, someone might tell her that they had made a mistake and that their mother wasn’t actually awake.Behind them, Dave was trying to keep up while also making sure neither of them wandered too far ahead.“Ava, Eli, slow down,” he called.Neither of them listened at first.They had just watched Auntie Anna disappear in the opposite direction toward the doctor’s office, and now the only thing occupying their minds was the ward at the end of this hallway.Mom.Their mom was there.Awake.Waiting.Or at least, that was what they thought.Ava squeezed Eli’s hand a little tighter as they walked.“Do you think she’s going to be sitting up?” she whispered.“I don’t know.”“Do you think she’ll smile when she sees us?”“Obviously.”“Do you think she misse

The moment Anna stepped into the room, Ava and Eli ran toward her.“Auntie Anna!”Anna barely had time to steady herself before Eli grabbed her hand and Ava wrapped both hands around her other arm.“Auntie Anna, Mummy said she doesn’t know us!”“Is this a prank?”“Because you and Mummy prank each other all the time!”“You guys literally do things like this!”“But this one isn’t funny!”“Auntie Anna, please!”They were both talking at once, their voices overlapping so badly that Anna couldn’t even tell which question to answer first.Eli’s eyes were already red from crying.Ava looked even worse. She was trying so hard to hold herself together, but the tears kept gathering in her eyes no matter how many times she blinked them away.“Auntie Anna, tell us this is a prank,” Eli pleaded.Anna stared at him.“Please.”“Auntie Anna, Mummy can’t actually remember us.”“She doesn’t remember Daddy either,” Ava added quietly.“She doesn’t remember you.”“She said she doesn’t know who we are.”El

Anna POVSo I stepped closer.“Lydia?”She looked at me for another few seconds.Then she frowned.“Wait.”My heart jumped.“Yes?”“Are you one of the people who came earlier?”I blinked.“What?”She pointed vaguely toward the door.“I saw you dragging those two children outside.”“Oh.”Right.Of course.She didn’t remember me.She remembered seeing me.That was all.“I’m sorry,” she continued, looking genuinely confused. “I don’t mean to sound rude. I’m just trying to understand what’s happening.”“No, no, it’s okay.”“Are you friends with them?”I opened my mouth.“I…”Lydia looked at me carefully.“Because I’m honestly not pranking you guys.”I almost laughed.Not because it was funny.Because I didn’t know what else to do.“I know.”“I really don’t know those kids.”“I know.”“Even those pictures you showed me…”Her eyes drifted toward the phone Dave had left on the side.“I don’t know. They feel fake.”“Fake?”“Yeah. Maybe they’re edited. Photoshopped or something.”I stared at h

Dave POVHonestly, the last twenty-four hours had been so crazy for me, for real.Like, I didn’t even know how my brain was still functioning.My Lydia had forgotten us.My kids had fainted from all the stress.And now Anna had arranged for Dr. Sana to come in for a psychological evaluation because apparently, after everything that had happened, we had reached the point where we couldn’t just keep telling the kids to be strong and hope they would magically be okay.There was too much happening at once.I remember sitting beside their beds, watching the slow drip of the IVs, telling myself I wasn’t going to sleep.I was going to stay awake.I was going to watch them.I was going to make sure they were okay.At some point, though, my eyes started getting heavy.I blinked.Then blinked again.And somehow, without even realizing it, I dozed off.I didn’t even remember falling asleep.The next thing I knew, warm rays of sunlight were slipping through the hospital window panes and landing a

Third person pov“Honestly, Auntie Anna outdid herself with this breakfast platter,” Ava said, staring down at the table with a smile that had slowly grown wider the longer she looked at it.Eli nodded enthusiastically, already halfway through his dinosaur-shaped pancake.“Obviously. Like, a lot of consideration went into this.”Ava laughed.“Consideration?”“Yes. Look at it.”He pointed his fork toward the different plates as though he were presenting evidence in court.“There’s a T-rex. There’s a triceratops. There are stars. There’s a whole solar system. She even made the fruits look like planets.”Ava picked up one of the little pieces of fruit.“She remembered I like strawberries.”“And she remembered I like pancakes.”“You like everything.”“That is not true.”Ava raised an eyebrow.“You ate vegetables on your plate just because Mom said you couldn’t have dessert until you finished them.”“That doesn’t mean I like everything.”“It means you were hungry.”Eli laughed.“She really
