questions, but Carrie was the better choice to fill me in.
      Anyway, he left me with my mother. She didn’t have anything helpful to offer me. She knew nothing about my day to day life. She did know that I live with Ethan, though. That didn’t seem fair. She hardly knows anything about me but she still knows more than I do.
      She sat with me for about an hour, until I told her I was okay, and that she should go on home, back to Yakima. I felt a little bad that she had driven all this way, but I got over it when she started talking about her vacation to Orlando last summer. Really, I just didn’t care, especially right now. She wasn’t giving me anything to work with concerning my life. It wasn’t like I was in Orlando with her and would remember something.
      Shortly after she left, Dr. Turner came in and told me that I could go home tomorrow as long as I wasn’t getting dizzy or anything. I was happy and petrified in equal measure. Sure, I wanted to leave the hospital, who wants to stay here? Alas, I wasn’t ready to go home and face—I don’t know what.
      After my freakishly early dinner tray was finished, Carrie showed up. I felt like it had been forever since I had seen her, but it was really just this morning. I needed to be around someone familiar, someone who I recognized as being a part of my life.
      “Hey Juliet,” she sang as she strolled in with a purple duffle bag over her shoulder. “I brought you some pajamas and your toothbrush and stuff.”
      Ah, wonderful Carrie, thinking about things I hadn’t even given a thought to. Now I could brush my teeth and get out of this super thin hospital gown. I smiled as I opened the bag but it quickly faded as I stared at the contents in confusion. I didn’t recognize any of the items in there. I pulled out the toiletry bag and unzipped it. I didn’t even recognize my toothbrush. I was pretty sure that my toothbrush was one of those spin brushes from the grocery store, but this one was some kind of high tech device that I couldn’t see myself buying. There was also a lotion I wasn’t familiar with. I was happy to see that I still used Colgate and Secret, but that was pretty much it.
      I reached in and pulled out my pajamas, a matching set, and a pair of green boy-shorts panties. I looked at her, wondering where she got this from. I usually slept in baggy men’s boxers and a worn oversized tee shirt.
      “They’re yours. I got everything from your house. Ethan even put your purse in here since he forgot to get it last night.” She reached in and pulled out a square bag of orange leather. I couldn’t identify it as mine, but it looked like something I would have.
      “Is Ethan at my house?” I wasn’t sure how I felt about letting him just hang out at my house when I wasn’t there. He might be snooping through the closets or something. What if he found my vibrator?
      “Yeah, he wanted to come back to the hospital but he didn’t want to overwhelm you. I told him I would bring this over for you so that we could have a little girl time.” She sat down on the side of my bed. I needed to know so much, but I didn’t know where to start.
      “So um, what’s been going on the last couple of years?” I felt foolish for asking such an inane question, but I honestly felt like I had been on an extended vacation and had lost touch with everyone back home.
      “Well, where do you want to start? What’s the last thing you remember?”
      “Let’s see, it’s July and I work at Rio Verde, I broke up with John, that two timing douche a few weeks ago, and you and Nigel have just gotten engaged.” I gasped and looked at Carrie’s finger. Yep, there was a wedding band nestled beside her engagement ring.
      “Oh my god, Carrie, I missed your wedding!” I was appalled. “I’m so sorry. Congratulations.” I didn’t know what else to say. She leaned forward and squeezed me into a hug.
      “You didn’t miss it, honey. You were my maid
