She sits up quickly to scan her surroundings. White walls, machines, white curtain.Her eyes drop to scan over her own body, but no discernible injury could be found.
Legs, fine. Torso, fine. Arms are…her eyes catch the metal on her finger.That’s not her ring.
OR
Lisa has amnesia and forgets the last four years (including having ever met Carla).
