Hypothetically speaking, what would you do if the person you were in love with literally forgot you existed? Or, what if you remember having a life with this person except it technically never happened for them?

Would you try to build a connection with them? Would it even be fair to do that? Would you simply try to move on?

You could say my memories of this person come from a different reality from the one we live in back home.

[ The truth is the memories are from the same reality prior to the time-line getting manipulated. Being stuck outside of time had allowed him to see all that he had lost. ]

How is your friend handling it?

But the person seems exactly the same except they don't remember certain things from your reality?

[Why does that thought make Alec extremely uncomfortable?]

For awhile we accepted it. Magic was involved. We couldn't interfere unless certain conditions were met.

Once they were, she started trying to get him back. It's rough but she was honest with him. They were both trying to work it out.

It's a little more complex than that, but, yeah, that's about it.

[ It's the closest explanation he could give without explaining the bizarre things that make up his life. ]

Good for them. I know it's hard to be patient when you know how good things should be.

That sounds like something some of my family is going through. Some of us don't remember things that we should.

I'm not sure if it is or not. They're both hurt by it, but they both chose to try again. Kind of. It's complicated. She isn't the best at dealing with emotions or relationships.

[But that had changed a few months ago and Alec's not sure why.]
