Bella, distressed, struggles to recall details about her past, only remembering Leo by his nickname for her, "Bunny." She expresses her love for Leo and feels safe with him, but cannot remember her age or where she is. She remembers a frightening dream about a shadowy figure and believes Leo protected her. Dr. Vance notes Bella's dependence on Leo for comfort and security during the evaluation.

Bella nodded immediately. "I remember."

Dr. Vance smiled. "Can you tell me?"

Bella’s expression softened into a gentle smile. Her eyes became dreamy. "He was waiting for me." She looked up at Leo with eyes full of affection. "I walked toward him... and then we got married."

Dr. Vance nodded thoughtfully as he wrote something in his notes. "I see."

He looked up again. "Do you remember anything before meeting Leo?"

Bella frowned. She thought very hard. Her brow furrowed. She stared at the ceiling, then at her hands, then at the window. Several long seconds passed before she slowly shook her head. "No..."

Dr. Vance asked gently, "What about your childhood? Your parents? Your school? Your friends?"

Again, she slowly shook her head. "I don’t remember."

Leo quietly lowered his gaze. His grip around her hand tightened almost imperceptibly.

Dr. Vance observed both of them before gently changing the subject. "That’s alright. We don’t have to force ourselves to remember. Sometimes memories come back when we least expect them."

Bella visibly relaxed.

Dr. Vance smiled. "Now... I heard you’re very good with computers."

The moment those words left his mouth, Bella’s eyes sparkled. Her entire expression brightened. "Yes!" She nodded enthusiastically. "I like computers very, very much!"

Dr. Vance asked, "What do you enjoy doing on them?"

Bella smiled proudly. "I help Leo."

Dr. Vance looked at her with quiet surprise. "You do?"

Bella nodded earnestly. "I like helping him with work. He gives me things to do and I do them. I like feeling useful."

She leaned a little closer to him before lowering her voice as though she were about to reveal the biggest secret in the world. "And... I have a secret."

Dr. Vance smiled. "A secret?"

Bella nodded repeatedly. "Mhm. I made special software."

Both men looked at her.

Dr. Vance asked curiously, "What kind of software?"

Bella looked unusually proud of herself. "It watches CCTV cameras."

Leo blinked.

Bella continued happily. "When it sees Leo..." She demonstrated with her fingers. "Click! It automatically captures his picture."

Dr. Vance stopped writing.

Bella giggled softly. "I made facial recognition. It knows it’s Leo. So whenever he walks anywhere... It secretly saves his pictures."

Leo slowly turned to look at her in surprise, his heart started flipping and rolling in his chest. He had no idea.

Bella continued speaking innocently, completely unaware of his reaction. "I have lots and lots of photos...So many." She spread her hands wide to show the number. "Walking... Working.. Reading documents..Drinking coffee.. Looking outside the window. Talking during meetings." She smiled dreamily. "He always wears black shirts. And he always looks so serious. But..." Bella looked up at Leo with sparkling eyes. "I think he’s the most handsome."

Leo stared at her in silence. He genuinely hadn’t known. He never realized that somewhere inside her computer, there was an entire collection of candid photographs of him. She had been quietly documenting his life without him ever noticing.

Dr. Vance slowly lowered his pen before looking between the husband and wife. A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "So..." He looked at Leo with quiet amusement. "It appears you have an admirer who also happens to be an excellent programmer."

Bella hugged Leo’s arm without the slightest embarrassment. "He’s my husband. Of course I take pictures of him."

Leo let out the faintest sigh. His hand gently rested on top of Bella’s head. "...Bunny."

Bella looked up. "Yes?"

Leo said, "You could’ve just asked me for a picture."

Bella tilted her head innocently. "But the candid ones are prettier. You look more natural. More like you."

Leo was completely speechless.

Dr. Vance couldn’t help chuckling as he quietly wrote another note.

After leaving Dr. Vance’s clinic, Leo didn’t drive back to the Moretti mansion immediately.

Instead, he stopped outside a small ice cream parlor a few streets away. The shop was quaint with a striped awning and a chalkboard sign listing the day’s flavors.

He remembered something Bella always smiled for—strawberry ice cream.

A few minutes later, he returned to the car holding a strawberry cone. The pink scoop was perfectly round, with tiny bits of strawberry scattered through it.

He opened the passenger door and held it out to her. "For you, Bunny."

Bella’s eyes immediately brightened. "My favorite..."

She accepted it with both hands before taking a tiny lick. The sweetness instantly made her smile. Her eyes closed in contentment.

Leo quietly watched her. Seeing her happily eating the ice cream made the heavy atmosphere inside the car become just a little lighter.

He started the engine but didn’t drive yet. Instead, he rested one arm on the steering wheel before looking at her. "Bunny."

She looked at him while carefully trying not to let the ice cream drip. "Mhm?"

He smiled faintly. "Earlier... You said you had a collection of my pictures."

Bella nodded proudly. "I do."

Leo couldn’t help asking, "So... Where are they?"

Bella blinked. "Oh."

Still holding her strawberry cone in one hand, she reached for her phone with the other. After unlocking it, her fingers moved across the screen with remarkable confidence.

Despite forgetting so many things... She didn’t hesitate even once. She opened her browser, typed a web address from memory, logged in, and entered a password. Navigated through several folders.

Then she handed the phone to Leo. "Here."

Leo accepted it. His brows slowly lifted. "Bunny... You still remember all of this?" He looked at her. "You remembered the website... the password... everything."

Bella nodded naturally. "Yes." Then she took another bite of her ice cream.

Leo fell silent. Why... Why could she no longer remember her childhood? Why did she forget conversations only minutes after they happened? Yet she could still remember something this detailed without the slightest effort.

He quietly pushed those thoughts aside and looked back at the phone.

The moment the gallery loaded... His eyes widened.

Hundreds... No. Thousands of photographs.

Every folder was neatly organized by year, then month, then date. Some folders even had little labels: Working. Meetings. Coffee. Reading. Driving. Thinking. Late Night Office. Smiling<Rare>.

Leo’s lips twitched.

He tapped one folder after another. There he was, standing beside the office window while reading documents. Another showed him adjusting his cufflinks before a meeting. One had captured him quietly drinking coffee while watching the sunrise through the office glass. Another showed him walking through the company lobby, his long black coat moving behind him. Some photos had caught him looking cold and angry while speaking to employees. Others captured him sitting silently with a laptop long after everyone else had gone home.

Not a single picture looked awkward. Each one had somehow captured him from his best angle. The lighting. The composition. The timing. Everything looked surprisingly professional.

Leo slowly looked at Bella. "...You took all of these?"
