With a touch of her fingers on his skin, she looked helpless.
"Was there any bleeding at the time?"
The man laughed, "Almost as much as when you bled!"
"You big meanie!" Her face turned red. "It... it must have hurt, didn't it?"
"Not as much as you!"
"Stop joking, I'm being serious here!" Irritated, she playfully bit his scar, took a deep breath, and buried her face in his shoulders, murmuring, "It's a shame, I don't remember any of it!"
He laughed. "No worries… we can always… run through it again!"
"Honey!" Vera laid her arms across his chest, resting her chin on the back of her hand. "Do you really not mind?"
How they started, how they fell in love, how they stayed together, the places they went, the sights they saw…
She remembered none of it. Did he truly not care?
He gently brushed a loose strand of hair from her face. Kris Cooper tenderly cupped her face in his hands.
"As long as you're with me... I don't care about anything else."
