After a devastating car accident, the protagonist wakes up in a hospital with partial amnesia. She remembers her family, her dog, and fragments of her life—but not the man who claims to be her fiancé. Derek, the supposed fiancé, insists they were deeply in love and preparing for marriage. He brings photos, gifts, and stories to help her remember, and though she feels uneasy, she tries to trust him.
But everything shifts when her dog, usually affectionate and loyal, reacts with fear and aggression toward Derek. That instinctive response sparks doubt. If her dog—who never forgets a scent or a feeling—doesn’t trust him, should she?
As she begins to investigate, subtle inconsistencies emerge. Derek’s stories don’t align with her remaining memories. Her mother’s quiet skepticism adds to the tension. Eventually, she uncovers the truth: Derek is not her fiancé. He’s a stranger who took advantage of her vulnerable state, weaving a false narrative to manipulate her.
The story crescendos into a confrontation where she reclaims her autonomy, guided not by memory but by intuition, instinct, and the unwavering loyalty of her dog. It’s a tale of resilience, the power of gut feeling, and the quiet heroism of a pet who refused to forget the truth.
