Making Her Whole Again

The day started like any other for Stacey Greenbank. Since starting a relationship with Grant Muster. On waking she'd send him a voice message saying good morning and that she will see him soon. She would then go wash and make them their packed lunch. She wasn't big on breakfast so often skipped it.She loved her job, helping to design and create new learning toys for children with disabilities. That is where she met Grant nearly two years ago now. It had been her second day there when he had literally knocked her to the ground by turning around quickly and knocking into her.He had apologised and held out his hand. It wasn't until she looked up into his clear light blue eyes that she had been struck at how handsome he was. Then she had realised he was holding a white cane and that he was blind or pratically sighted.That was the start of their relationship. Stacey had confessed to him three months later and they'd started to date.Stacey had loved the fact that he had wante

Her mother covers her mouth with her hand and stares at the doctor wide eyed "Amber was the name of her twin sister. She died at the age of two from heart problems" she explains"I see, then that might explain what she said next" the doctor says"I asked her if she knew why she was in hospital? To which she answered that her sister had died in order for her to have her heart" Stacey's mother gasps on hearing this and her hand goes to cover her own heart."Why would she think that?" she asks"We heard that she was very upset when she ran out onto the road from her initial accident. It's my belief that she suffered a traumatic experience mentally before having one physically. We'll have to get a professional over to talk to her, to find out for sure" he tells her.He also recommends not saying to much about it until they've tested her more. Her mother goes back to Stacey’s room and feels like she is walking on eggshells as she doesn't know what is safe to talk about.When the Psychiatr

Over the next few days Amber finds herself thinking about Grant and wondering if he’s okay. Which again surprises her, as she isn’t normally someone that worries about others too much. Near the end of the week, Marcus calls to say he might have a joint project she maybe interested in. It’s a school build for special needs and they want to showcase the new technology now employed that can help learning, development as well as helping in everyday life to aid in final independence of each individual who attend the school.Amber is excited to hear about the project and arranges to meet him and some others that will help in its design. The expected completion time is 2 years, so Amber spends the weekend organising her current projects so, she can finish them quicker in order to focus more on the joint project. Sunday afternoon she gets a call from Grant asking if she is free to meet and have coffee. Thinking it is about the joint project she agrees to meet him at a coffee shop near

Grant answers a few urgent emails and makes a number of calls before telling his assistant that he will see him at the joint meeting later. “If anyone asks, I’m in a meeting and will be for the rest of the day. Take a message or number and I’ll get back to them as soon as I can” he instructs before leaving to meet Amber. Seeing Jane walking towards him he decides to take the stairs quickly. He's sorry he ever agreed to allow her to follow him from the publishing company he worked in with Stacey to his parents company.As he leaves he wonders why his mother seems so against him working on the joint project and how she found out so quickly. His mind throws a hundred possibilities at him, but he's learnt not to jump to conclusions. He'll be more vigilant from now on and also try and talk to his mother once he's got his thoughts in order.When he draws up outside her company, he see’s her waiting outside and gets out to open her door. “Thank you, I hear there is congestion on 6th.

“I had a lovely time thank you” Amber says looking at him brightly. “I did too, can you give me a little time? I think we should take things slow, we have only just started working together and it would be a shame to rush things” Grant says finding it difficult to find the right words to express himself.“Of course, this is all new territory for me too, so slow is good” Amber agrees not seeing the apprehension in his eyes. “Thank you, I’ll talk to you Monday if not before” he says allowing her to walk into her complex.As he gets in his car, he sighs and rubs the ache he has in his chest. He’ll text Amber’s doctor tomorrow and hopefully she will be able to shed some light on how he deals with his conflicting feelings. He drives home with his emotions seesawing from happiness to worry. He really does still love her, but at the end of the day she thinks she is a different person. So wouldn’t that mean he is cheating? He hits the stirring wheel in frustration and tries to push th
