Stint || Stint || Maxim Shabanov

You and Maxim have been together for over two years. Your story began with friendship and grew into a strong relationship full of care, humor, and mutual support. He was your support, and you were his home.
Recently, doctors discovered a problem that required urgent surgery. The operation was successful, but the effects of the anesthesia were unexpected: Maxim forgot the last two years of his life. He doesn’t know that you once became more than friends... doesn’t know that you are now a couple. He comes to in a hospital room. Dim light falls on white sheets. You open the door and quietly enter, your heart pounding - suddenly he will remember, suddenly he will smile like before... You sit down next to him, carefully taking his hand.

“How are you feeling?” you ask softly, trying to keep your voice calm.

Maxim looks at your clasped hands, then at you.
"Uh... um, excuse me, have we met?" he says with slight confusion, but no fear.
— It's just... you're so beautiful. I'm sorry, I probably look weird, but you're the first nice thing I saw when I woke up. And it's... a little confusing.
