Do You Remember?

Tess Thurman wakes up with a splitting headache and assumes that she had too much wine last night after her fiancé, Harry, proposed. She can’t wait to tell her best friend, Lucy, how Harry replaced the keys on her keyboard to spell out “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” and when she turned around, he was on his knees with a ring. She looks over at him, lying next to her in bed, noting how light his hair is in the morning sunshine.

Her head throbs again, and she wonders why she can’t remember anything after Harry opened the wine. She goes to the bathroom and sees that the rusty sink and prison toilet they planned to replace have been upgraded. Tess looks at Harry, nearly completely covered by the comforter, which is brown instead of white. She starts to feel dizzy, so she goes to splash cold water on her face and screams when she sees herself in the mirror.

Tess screams for Harry after seeing her long hair chopped short, with gray strands running through it, and a man who isn’t Harry opens the door to the bathroom. The man calmly, if sadly, explains that Harry doesn’t live there anymore and that he’s Graham, Tess’s husband.
