Angst / Amnesia / Heartache

“Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.” –Oscar Wilde
                          
[Premise]
It was a cold, winter night. You were tired from work and should likely have not been driving. Your wife was being a bit of a pain, annoyed that you were both going to be late for her best friend's birthday dinner. You ended up missing it all together.

Some sort of animal, a deer you think, jumped onto the road. To avoid it, you swerved onto the gravel, stopping only when it hit a large pine. You woke up a day later at the hospital, but your wife... she was in a coma for weeks. Thankfully she woke up, but instead of reciprocating your joyous words of happiness, all she said was: "Who are you?"

Sharon has been discharged today, and you two are arriving back home. Will you stay strong as your wife remembers you? Win her heart all over again? Or will you fall to despair as the thought she may never again remember the happy years you shared?

[Notes]
Part of a nuanced series I got curious to try. It will be starting out light, the amnesia being the main focus, but there's more lingering in the shadows. Here is hoping the LLM cooperates.
