“Yes. A whole bowl.”
He closed his eyes.
“Oh, God… I never thought this day would come.”
“Robert, what’s going on?”
He stared at me for a long moment.
Then he said something that still echoes in my ears.
“If you start remembering things tomorrow morning that you believe never happened, please… don’t trust your memories.”
I thought my husband was losing his mind.
But the following morning, everything changed.
I woke up with an unusual headache.
When I looked out the window, a strange memory suddenly flashed through my mind.
A little girl.
She was about five years old, with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was sitting in our kitchen, calling me Mommy.
The memory was so vivid that I could almost hear her laughter. But Robert and I had never had children.
I rushed to find him.
“Robert, did we ever have a daughter?”
