"Darling, are you okay?" Luke presses his hand on my forehead. "It's almost time to wake up and get ready for today. Do you want to look at your daily schedule?" He asks, and all I do is watch outside the window... Luke grabs my wrist, feeling my pulse.

I'm feeling numb and I really don't feel like I can't talk... Everything is hazy and my ears feel like they have cotton in them.

Like my body is shutting down-

"We have to wake up and go shower. Which is going to be difficult with your wrapped hand but I think we can manage. Then we need to brush your beautiful teeth and say our daily mantras!" Luke sounds overly enthusiastic about my daily schedule... But when I don't answer, he shines a flashlight in my eyes and then puts it back on the side table.

Luke started doing "Mental Games" with me. Games that people who have dementia play every day to keep their brains active...

Tic Tac Toe, watercolor painting, even the game where I have a minute to take nine colored dots and match them to whatever the card says... It's not as easy as it looks either. It hurts my head.

Oh, and let's not forget fucking flashcards-

Haven't done those since I was a child and now I have to do them twice a fucking day.

Luke pulls out my daily schedule and reads the first two lines. I close my eyes, rolling over so I don't look at him. I don't need him to treat me like a child-

I see the schedule every day... They posted it all over the penthouse. On the fridge, on their side tables, on the elevator doors and even on the bathroom mirror. It's been three days since we wrote it out and I already memorized it.

"So, let's get up and brush your teeth." Luke tries to roll me over to my back but I pull away from his touch. "Okay- We will try again later." He doesn't push me, sighing as he stands up and bends over to kiss me on top of my head.
