I woke to the sound of my name and beeping machines. Damian, my husband, was hovering over me, tearfully saying, \u201cYou\u2019re awake.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve been in a coma for six months,\u201d he explained, his voice cracking. \u201cWe weren\u2019t sure you\u2019d wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n

I tried to sit up. \u201cWhere\u2019s Zoe?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s fine. With your mom. She\u2019ll be here tomorrow.\u201d He kissed my hand. \u201cI thought I lost you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I struggled to remember the accident, but my mind was blank.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, I was home, watching Zoe play. Damian informed me my next doctor\u2019s appointment was coming up. I felt anxious. \u201cWill they fix Mommy\u2019s memories?\u201d Zoe asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cMemories are tricky,\u201d Damian said. \u201cBut we\u2019ll make new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

I tried to adjust, but one day in the kitchen, as I cut vegetables, a knife slipped and my memories of the crash flooded back. Damian\u2019s cruel words before the crash replayed in my mind: \u201cI\u2019ve met someone else. It\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n

The accident, the pain, the silence. It wasn\u2019t a dream\u2014it was real.<\/p>\n

That night, I confronted Damian. \u201cI remember everything. The fight, Blake\u2026 how you were leaving me.\u201d<\/p>\n

His face went pale. \u201cI never meant for this to happen, Mary. I was wrong. I realized how much I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I asked, \u201cWhere\u2019s Blake now?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s gone. I ended it that night,\u201d Damian said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow convenient,\u201d I replied bitterly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was an idiot,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI almost lost you, and I never wanted that.\u201d<\/p>\n

We talked all night. He begged for a second chance.<\/p>\n

The next day, Zoe came home, sensing the tension. \u201cAre you and Daddy fighting?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

Damian knelt beside us. \u201cWe love you more than anything, sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPromise?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI promise,\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n

Damian looked at me with regret. \u201cWhatever you decide, I\u2019ll respect it.\u201d<\/p>\n

I held Zoe close. \u201cOne day at a time,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day at a time,\u201d Damian agreed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
