On the morning of the procedure, the nurses guided me onto a gurney in the operating room. Nigel squeezed my hand.
“You still have time to back out,” he said softly.
“I won’t,” I replied. “If this works, I want you to be the first thing I see.”
His breath caught. He kissed my forehead.
“I love you,” he whispered.
“I love you too.”

My breath caught. That scar.
I could see the world for the first time.
The memory slammed into me!

I clapped my hands over my mouth in shock and froze. “How… How is it possible that it’s YOU? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“Let me explain, my love,” Nigel said, his voice trembling.
