Shawn
Harper was already waiting for me in the living room. I stood in front of the bathroom mirror putting some wax from Kevin Murthy in my hair. I wore a basic outfit, a white t-shirt with black skinny jeans and black boots.

"So, are you ready for a little bit of sightsing?" I called my hands together. "Yeah" she nodded and pushed herself up from the couch.

I held the door open to her and then closed it behind us. "So which one is my favorite boutique?" she asked and jumped in the passenger seat. "Well, you have a few. But your absolutely favorite boutique is ZARA or Another Story. We have the whole day on us so we can go into as many stores as you want. And then of course I'm gonna show you around a little" I started the engine and I could feel the awkward silence starting to build up. I tried to save it with a little bit of music.

Usually, when she is looking at clothes she always holds my hand or I have my arms wrapped around her from behind while she is trying to find her size or asking me if she can have it or not.

She walked around in the store and I miss to hold her. I want my arms wrapped around her or that she is walking in front of me and stretching her arm back to reach my hand.

She looked so cute while looking at the clothes, taking them down from the hanger and putting them against her body, looking in the mirror before hanging them back or throwing them over her folded arm.

"I'm gonna go and try these on" she showed me the clothes and walked to the fitting room. I followed her and sat down in one of the knitted chairs outside the booths. She disappeared in one of the booths and closed the door behind her.

I scrolled through my phone when I heard frustrated grunting coming from the other side of the closed door. I put my phone in my pocket and walked to the door and knocked slightly. "Are you okay in there?"
"Yes" it sounded like she was muffling. "Are you sure?" I raised one eyebrow.

"No, I am kinda stuck actually" she muffled once again and let out a frustrated sigh. "Should I call for help so one of the workers can help you?"

It was silent for a little while before she started to speak up. "No. I don't want them to see me destroying one of their dresses. You can help me. But promise to not look. Have your eyes closed all the time" I tried to open the door but it was looked from the inside.

I then went down on all four and crawled on the floor, trying to fit in the gap between the door and the floor.

When I was in the booth I saw her with her folded arms in the air and her dress was stuck over her face and upper arms. She tore her body side to side, trying to reach the back of the dress with her hands.

"Do you have your eyes closed?" "Yes. Were you going to take it off or put it on?" "I was going to take it off" "Okay, it can take a while since I have my eyes closed" I lied.

"Okay, so if you don't have your arms folded and have them straight up in the air it will get easier"

She did as she was told. I tugged my fingers on the edge of her dress and peeled it over her body. As quick it was under her chin I closed my eyes and peeled the dress over her head and arm.

"Thanks" she said and I could hear the smile on her lips. "No problem" I said and walked out of the door. When I closed the door I opened my eyes and heard a yelp from the other side of the door which made me jump. "What happened?"

"Shit shit shit. When the fuck did I get this tattoo?"

It took me a few seconds before I realized which tattoo she meant.

"You got that when I did this butterfly tattoo. And it was a few years ago" She opened the door on ajar and poked out her head. "My mum is going to kill me!" she raised her voice and I saw the panic in her eyes.

"Hey, calm down. Your mum won't even see it. Like I don't even see it. Only when you have your hair up in a messy bun. But you only have that when you paint. And I guess that she won't be so active to meet you. Because she never has"

She gave me a disappointed look before she walked back into the booth.

Oh no, did I make her sad now?

A few minutes later she came out from the booth and started to walk to the pay desk.
"Let me buy that for you" I said and was quick to pull out my wallet "No you don't need to, it's just one dress Shawn" "It will be 64,9 dollar" the chaser said and Harper just nodded and was just going to put in her card in the card machine but I was quicker than her and started to type in my pin code.

"Shawn, I said that I could pay for it" "Yeah I know. But I wanted to pay it for you-" "Do you want a bag?" the girl behind the pay desk interrupted me "Yes please" I looked at her and gave her a smile before I looked back at Harper. "You wanted that dress and I bought it for you"

Harper took the bad and walked out of the store.

A few hours later we were walking towards our door. And I couldn't stop smiling. Thinking of what's behind the door.

"I'm so tired I could literally-" she said when I opened the door and she got interrupted by all of our mutual friends and her friends from work yelling "Surprise!"

Harper looked back at me with wide eyes and I couldn't stop smiling. Almost everyone walked towards her and hugged her "Hi, it's so good to see you again. How are you?" one of her friends said when she pulled away from Harper.

Harper

I have no idea what's happening right now. A lot of strangers coming up to me and hugging me, asking if I am okay and says that they have missed me.

I looked back at Shawn and he just had this stupid smile on his lips. What is he even thinking he's doing? Does he think that this will help me?

I couldn't make it. All of these people that are my friends are total strangers for me, except Casey and a few more that are from high school. I can't remember them. Not a single one.

Tears formed in my eyes and I quickly ran into the bedroom and closed the door behind me. I don't care if they all are talking about that I just ran away. But I can't handle it.

I sat on the bed crying. I don't want this. I want everything to be normal again.

Someone was knocking on my door and it opened on ajar. Shawn poked in his head and his facial expression changed when he saw the tears rolling down my face.

"Hey, I'm sorry" he said while entering the room and closed the door behind him. "Go away Shawn" I buried my face in my knees and hugged my legs. I felt the mattress sunk down as he sat down where my feet were.

"No, I won't. I am sorry about all of this. I thought-" "You thought what Shawn?" I shoot up my head and looked at him. "You thought that all of this was going to help me remember?"

"Y-yes. I thought that if you see all of your friends may be some pieces will fall to the right places" "Well you're wrong Shawn. This is just confusing me even more. I don't even remember my own husband. How the fuck will I remember all of these people" I pointed at the door and even more tears rolled down my cheeks. "They are strangers for me Shawn and so are you"
