Mmm-hmm.

It's abstract, but,

I mean, I don't know,

I kind of think

it's already powerful.

What?

You totally love me.

Yeah, I do.

Yeah.

I know because

this is my piece,

and that's the scrap pile,

which I'm now saving.

Hmm.

A moment of total physical,

mental, and every other kind of love.

Don't crowd her.

She's gonna be a little groggy,

so let's just

give her some space.

Hey.

It's so good to see you.

Paige?

It's okay.

You're in the hospital.

You were in a car accident.

You hit your head,

but you're okay.

We just kept you asleep

for a little while.

How do you feel?

My head hurts.

Yeah, well,

that's perfectly normal.

I'll get you

something for that.

Was anyone else hurt, Doctor?

Uh...

Paige,

you know who I am, right?

Yeah. You're my doctor.

Um...

I'm your husband.

Paige?

Mr. Collins?

You said things were very good.

A brain injury isn't like a

broken bone or a laceration.

Brains are

much less predictable.

Sometimes, due to the way the swelling

tissue presses against the skull,

it can cause some impairment.

Some impairment?

She doesn't remember me.

Even though she's awake,

the swelling

can cause confusion

or memory loss,

erratic mood swings.

What?

But that's normal.

So, that's my theory.

That these moments of impact

define who we are.

But what I never considered

was what if, one day, you could

no longer remember any of them?

Hi.

What are you up to?

Sleeping.

Right.

I brought you some clothes.

Thank you.

I'm kind of hungry.

Okay.

Come on.

So, I just wanted to verify a

few things with you about me,

about us.

Great.

So, we're married?

Yes.

Yeah.

And I have weird hair.

I think that's

taking a narrow view.

You said it takes

too long to straighten

and you'd rather use that

time to work in your studio.

My studio?

Why do I have a studio?

You're an artist.

Sculptor.

A really good one.

Right now, you're

working on four pieces

for the Tribune Tower lobby,

which is huge.

Everyone in town

wanted that commission.

But your show at the MCA's

so you won it.

What about my law degree?

I don't have a law degree?

I think you were

a few credits shy.

Last time I wanted

to be an artist,

I was in high school.

I think you need to

look at it like a win.

Traumatic brain injury is a win?

You're an idiot.

If she doesn't

remember who you are,

then she doesn't remember all

the stupid sh*t you ever did.

You can start over,

wipe the slate clean.

I'm just worried if

she doesn't remember you,

how's she going to remember

she's in love with you? What?

I was frankly a little stunned

she went for you

the first time.

If anything, you've

become less attractive.

You guys are
