Serendipity - Finding something good, without looking for it.
After waking up from an accident, Katy finds herself looking at the world in a different light. With diagnosed Post Traumatic Amnesia, Katy sets out on a mission, along with some trusted...
I looked at Zak as he explained his reasons but I couldn't shift one thing from my mind.
"You're not a mistake. You wouldn't ever be a mistake." I frowned rolling my hand over to take his.
"Maybe not, or not yet. What's to say we will have a happy ever after?" He asked.
I swallowed down my own anxiety about that question "Surely we of all people are allowed to have one. Or even hope for one? We can have hope.. Can't we?"
He smiled slightly and nodded "Of course. I'm just saying, he's seen the ugly side of a breakup with me.. He might not want that for you. So his response may not be to give his seal of approval."

Billy arrived over at Zak's to give him the last of the camera equipment when his eyes landed on me sitting on the RV step.
"What's up?" He asked sliding over with his shades on.
"Not much. You?" I replied squinting to look up at him enjoying the sun.
"I'm good.. I've got a burning question to ask you..." Billy spoke trailing off.
"Well, fire away."
He lifted his glasses to give me the serious conversation look, one that made my back stiffen slightly and I had taken a small breath ready to prepare myself. "Nothing, it's nothing important." He waved it off and looked away.
Chewing my lip, I decided that now would be as good as time as any, to find out if I'm in that ivory tower.
"Billy.."
"Hmm?" He hummed looking back over to me from staring at the concrete of Zak's driveway.
"Am I..." My mind paused trying to find the right words. "Am I loveable?"
His eyebrows rose slightly "What ever makes you think that you're not?"
I shrugged slightly "I dunno, my scars and amne-"
"Your scars are survival marks.. And you're amnesia? You're doing great with that. Things are going well, you're attending your appointments, right?"
I nodded remembering yesterday that Zak kicked me from the bed to attend it.
"Then I can't see there being a problem, you're a beautiful, smart woman."
I smiled slightly, trusting Billy to make me feel better, but an ego pat isn't what I wanted.
"Why do you ask?" He queried.
"I've had... I've had a chance, to get close to someone. Only now I'm not thinking that I'm so much of a catch, you know? Battered and forgetful." I replied tapping my forehead.
"Oh yeah?" He asked smiling with a little excitement, I followed his reaction, knowing how much of a gossip he was and revelled in knowing something others didn't. "Anyone I kno-"
