I Forget Every Day, but He Has Two Extra Years of Secrets

Every morning, Julian Hayes tells me that my mother is coming to see me tomorrow.

But my mother has been dead for 100 days.

Since the car accident, I wake up each day having forgotten the day before, yet I still remember the version of me who loved him before the crash.

Every morning at dawn, Julian comes home from another woman, washes off her perfume, puts his wedding ring back on, and sits down beside my bed.
