Right Person, Wrong Time

Colton looked at the spaced-out Nicole, asking, "Any plans for the day?"

Nicole blinked and turned her attention to him. He was inches away from her, and she quickly said, "Yeah. First, a full body check-up. If you're alright, we'll start with your treatment."

Colton kept staring at her and asked, "Do you know any way to recover my memories?"

Nicole pursed her lips, her eyelashes fluttering. She had no idea how to recover lost memories. The common treatments were hypnosis, medications, or slamming something heavy on the patient's head. But… he lost his memory because of the bug. I'm not even sure hypnosis will be of use.

She blinked again. "Um, we'll start with hypnosis and see if it works." Start with the regular ones. I can't slam something heavy on his head in the name of cognitive recalibration. What if he gets a concussion?

…

Colton nodded. After Nicole fell asleep the night before, he took his jacket off, but that was it. All Nicole had to do was drape her jacket over herself, and they could leave.

Nicole picked up the jacket. Just when she was about to wear it, Colton blurted, "I have a question."

Nicole looked at him and nodded. "Sure. Ask away."

She thought he would ask her about his amnesia, but he asked, "If we're a couple, why aren't we sharing a bed?"

Um… Ever since he lost his memories, Nicole hadn't been sharing a room with him. Even though they might get flirty sometimes, they never did sleep in the same room anymore. How am I supposed to explain this to him? She coughed. A moment of awkward silence later, she said, "I mean, you can share a bed with me if you want."

Colton looked at her for a moment, then he smiled. He said in a teasing manner, "We'll be doing that tonight."

Even though she knew that sharing a bed was common between couples, for some reason, she started blushing crimson after Colton said that. It almost felt like she was embarrassed. She coughed once more, and her ears turned red, but she nodded. "Sure."

Colton's lips curled into a smile. Now he really wanted to recover his memories. He wanted to remember what he and Nicole used to do.

Nicole led Colton to a room. The design was simple. The color was sky-blue, and a couch and recliner sat within.
