All Chapters of Love Remembers: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The next morning, I wake up to find Bryce’s side of the bed empty. I roll my hand over his side of the sheets and find that they are cold, so I know that he has been gone for some time.I climb out of bed and get ready for the day. Once I shower and dress, I make my way to the kitchen, which is on the first floor. Once down there, I run into Rita. “Good morning, Rita.”“Good morning, sweetie. Mr. Bryce is at the table waiting for you. I will be there in a minute to serve you your breakfast.”“Thank you, Rita.”“No problem.”I walk into the dining room and find Bryce sitting at the table reading the morning paper. That’s until I take my seat at the table. Bryce folds the paper up and turns his attention toward me. “How did you sleep?”“Good. When did you leave?”“I left the room about an hour ago. I had a case I needed to look over.”“I understand. Thank you for staying with me.”“Glad to help.”Rita comes in and places my plate of food in front of me. “Thank you, Rita.”Rita nods her

A rattling noise wakes me from my slumber. I look around the room to see where the noise is coming from. Then it dawns on me that my cell phone is rattling against the nightstand. I pick it up without checking it. “Hello.”“Where the hell are you, Bryce?”“Mikey?”“Yes, now that we know who I am, you want to tell me where you are?”“I’m at home. What time is it?”“It’s ten a.m. Why are you not at work?”“I’ve decided to work from home today.”“Well, I need you to come to the hospital.”“For what?”“To look at some footage.”“You found something?”“We found something. You’ll find out what it is when you get your ass down here.”“Fine, I’ll be there in about an hour,” I tell him before hanging up.I make my way to my bedroom and get ready to meet Mikey at the hospital. I step off the elevator and hear the music. I walk around to the kitchen as I follow the music and come to a stop when I see Tanya’s beautiful body standing in front of the sink. I watch as her body sways to the music. It

I wake up in bed by myself. I look around and don’t see Bryce anywhere in sight, so I climb out of bed and put on a robe. I step out of my room and walk around looking for Bryce. As I walk down the hall, I hear his voice as I near his room.I walk until I get to his door. His door is jarred, and I can see that he is standing in front of a mirror trying to tie his tie while on the phone.“I understand what you’re saying, Mom, but Bree can’t come home yet.”“No, she doesn’t remember yet.”“No, I don’t think it’s best.”“I get it, Mom, but Bree coming home is a bad idea. She would tell her who she was, and Tanya isn’t ready to know yet. Tell Bree that Daddy will come and see her today. I have to go.”Bryce hangs up the phone, and I rush to the elevator to go downstairs. When Bryce reaches the kitchen, I am already in there with a cup of coffee in my hand. Bryce kisses the side of my head. “How are you?”“Good, and you?”“Good. Do you have any regrets?”“No, Bryce. I told you that I wante

A week passes, and the same thing happens day in and day out. I watch as Tanya lies in our son’s bed holding on to his teddy bear. She doesn’t get out of bed unless she needs to use the restroom. She doesn’t even bother to take a shower.I had to send Bree back home with my parents because Tanya wouldn’t respond to her whenever she tried to talk to her. I have no idea what to do.I’m downstairs having a beer with Mikey, trying to relieve some stress. “What are you going to do?” Mikey asks me before taking a sip of his beer.“There’s only one choice to make, and that’s to call Katherine and Terrance.”“You know they are going to kill you, right?”“I know, but I did what I thought was best.”“That may be, but you have to think about it from their side of things. I mean, think about if it was Bree. Imagine Bree was in a coma for a year and wakes up, and her husband doesn’t call you to let you know that she’s awake.”“I get it,” I say one more time before slamming my beer down in anger. “

The night approached quickly, and it was time to say goodnight. We all stepped on the elevator together, but Bryce and I got off on the second floor.Bryce walks toward the master suite, and I follow behind him. He stands at the door and looks at me. “You’re coming in here?” Bryce asks me in a shocked voice.“I am your wife. Is there a problem with me sleeping in here with you?”“No. Not at all. I’m just a little shocked, that’s all.”“Well, stop being shocked and open the door to our bedroom.”Bryce wastes no time doing what I ask him. When we entered the room, that’s when I remembered I didn’t have anything in that room. “I’m sorry, I had all your things moved to the guest room. We’ll have them moved back tomorrow.”“That’s fine. I’ll be back.” I walk out of the room and into what has been my room. I open the drawer and pull out a white silk nightgown. I put it on and walk back into the bedroom with Bryce. When I enter, he is already under the covers, so I walk over to the other si
