He Missed Me When I Was Gone

Hector Tyler keeps asking the same question: will she come back? The woman he loves is his wife Edna's second personality, a vibrant self who appeared after an accident and vanished when the primary personality returned. Edna pursued Hector for four years and stayed with him for five, yet he never spent a full birthday with her, always telling her to be sensible.

Now Hector barely looks at Edna. He calls her Edna, never Eds, and searches for the woman who is gone. Edna tries to imitate her other self, learning piano, forcing herself to eat spicy food, even landing in the hospital, hoping to win back the man who only ever wanted someone else. But the doctor's words echo: the secondary personality will not return unless the primary one disappears or gives up.

Hector's eyes hold a hope Edna cannot ignore, and she begins to wonder what he is truly waiting for.
