her amnesia. Ben is upset and lets it be known. Ben told Maria she

Maria meanwhile is outside reading her dossier. She is beginning to sound like she is trying to convince herself about wanting Ben and Meg together.
Ben follows Meg upstairs. She comes out of the bathroom and he is lighting candles. He expresses his love for her. He told her that her love inspires and that every moment with her is a joy to him. He explains that she takes away his fear and that he will never let anyone come between them. He told her that she made him want to love again.
