comprehend.
“They call it the ‘The Effect’.” My wife took my hand, it felt warm and comforting. I felt her
comprehend.
“They call it the ‘The Effect’.” My wife took my hand, it felt warm and comforting. I felt her
lean on me, then I felt a peck on the cheek. “We’ve been married for a long time, but you
can’t remember my name, can you?” I hung my head, and knew I couldn’t hide it any longer.
During the recent week, I only referred to her with, ‘pumpkin, love, honey’, etc. Every time

“You think I can’t remember your name, on account of it?” My wife nodded.

“I don’t know how it happened, but I have no doubt that it happened to you.” We were perched
