Version #1:

 

Camille was alone in the house at that time, one of that precious and seldom times she has been missing lately. The lights were off, the scented candles were doing their jobs to keep the bathroom comfortable and cozy. That was her refuge, her safe place, where she could worry about herself only.

 

It has been a tough day at work. Although Bryan and Dr. Miller had not agreed, she has decided to go back to her normal life as fast as she could. The last week has been extremely difficult, forcing herself to recall everything about the clients needs, where they kept the coffee at the office, how to manage the e-mails. Everything seemed to be so new and so old at the same time, since she had been diagnosed with amnesia. Now, every day feels long and painful.

 

The water was perfectly hot inside the bathtub, the cinnamon oil was exhlating a sweet and reinvigorating scent. The Goo Goo Dolls album playing on the bedroom was a good discovery on her CD pile. Indeed she liked them and that made her feel a little bit more as herself.

 

 

 

Version #2:

 

I was alone in the house at that time, this was one of that precious and seldom times I have been missing lately. The lights were off, the scented candles were doing their jobs to keep the bathroom comfortable and cozy. This is the only place were I can hide from everyone else and just be me, were I can worry just about myself.

 

It has been a tough day at work. I know that Bryan and Dr. Miller don’t agree with me getting back to work, but I just want my normal life back! The last week has been extremely difficult, I have to recall everything I used to do: what my clients used to order, where the hell they keep the coffee in the office and how to manage my e-mails. It’s like I knew every of those things, but on the other hand I don’t have a clue how to use them. Since the accident every day seems long and painful.

The water was great, neither scalding hot, nor cold. The cinnamon oil I’ve bougth that day was exhalating a sweet scent, it made me feel like I was able to do anything. I’ve just loved that Goo Goo Dolls CD I’ve found tossed in a pile. Now I know why I really liked that music.
