Crystal's One Night of Love

Henry left the clinic and got into his car, his head still throbbing from the pain.

He leaned against the backseat and massaged his forehead gently.

Jamie offered him a cold towel to alleviate the pain. She felt bad for him. “Mr. Miller, why don’t we find at neurologist? This hypnotist wasn’t that reliable.”

Hearing that, Henry was stunned for a moment.

“I remembered so much, but it’s like waking up from a drunken stupor as all those memories were gone when I woke up.”

It wasn’t the hypnotist’s problem, as his nerves were destroyed.

Disappointment was evident on his face.

He didn’t mind the regret, but he wanted Crystal to be genuinely happy.

Right then, his phone rang.

It was Crystal. She asked gently. “Henry, are you still outside?”

At once, Henry felt his headache subside.

He sat up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Crystal chuckled softly. “I suddenly feel like cooking meatballs. Would you like some? If you do, I can have some delivered to your office later for lunch.”

Henry felt his nose sting.

It took him a long while to calm down and respond, “I’ll wait for you at noon.”

The call ended.

Maybe our marriage isn’t as fulfilling as I hoped, but it’s not that bad. I love Crystal, and she’s making an effort to be closer to me. To her, I’m someone she wants to be close to. Isn’t that sufficient? It’s better than many marriages out there.

At noon, he finally got to hug his wife and take an afternoon nap as he wished.
