It was true - seeing her suddenly break into tears wasn't the most reassuring thing she could have done, but he'd understand in a minute, and of course she couldn't control it. What she said wasn't entirely clear, but he couldn't help the way his shaking hands moved around her back as she hugged him, saying, "I love you, Summer - I loved you ten minutes ago when I couldn't remember a thing, but... I know why I loved you before, too." It was still just so overwhelming, he couldn't help the way he slumped a little, though he tried to hide it by curling around her a little more. It was confusing, like he didn't know what to remember first, and scary - what if it went away again, what if he could only remember when he was terrified for his life? But all he knew was that the past months had been hard on them both - and maybe harder on her than on him - and he was so sorry she'd had to go through it, but so glad she'd done it with him. "Are you okay?"
