Diana put down the coffee and turned back to Brian.
"So, how has life been for you in the past two years?"
"Me?" Brian fell into silence. After a few seconds, he spoke.
"Not so bad. I got familiar with all the strangers around me. It is an odd feeling, though, to be told you are something that you don't remember. For example, everyone told me that I am the CEO of the company and that I am the big, bad boss. And they introduced me to everyone. It is funny to be introduced to your own family."
Brian laughed sadly.
Somehow, without thinking, Diana reached out her hand and touched Brian's frowning face. This gesture had them both stunned.
Brian acted quickly. He held Diana's hands after noticing that she was about to put them down.
"Will you give me the chance to take care of you and Abby?" Brian said earnestly.
"Is that out of guilt or something?"
Brian shook his head. "No, it is out of love. I love you."
