Just Forgotten

I have been working on the draft of my latest book and I am currently about halfway through the primary writing. I would like to share a small excerpt from one of the chapters.

"What are you thinking?" she finally asked.

He sighed. "What if… what if I wake up in the morning and I'm the old Rob? What if I wake up and have to start this all over?"

She tilted her head to the side and pursed her lips. "If you wake up and have forgotten all about today, I would give you another chance. We would do the day over again. If you wake up as the old Rob and you do one thing out of line, I'm calling the police and having them take you in for psychological evaluation."

He smiled and looked at her, catching a glimpse of those gray hazel eyes that draw him in. "That's what I thought you'd say."

"Why do you ask? You're not planning on undoing all this are you?"

He shook his head. "Heavens no. I don't ever want to go through this again. This day sucked." He quickly looked at Jil. "I mean other than you and the kids of course. I'm talking about what happened to me."

She looked at him and frowned.

Now he was backpedaling. "What I mean is the amnesia thing. Not that getting rid of the old Rob was bad, but--"

She smiled and saved him from his rambling. "I agree. It sucked. But now we have this amazing opportunity. Let's not waste it."

They sat in silence as the shadows lengthened and merged into dusk. He was still unsure where all this was going. More importantly to him, why it ever happened in the first place.
