looked away.
         “But ignoring your wife’s death won’t
change that it’s happened. What was her name?”
         “Charlotte,” he whispered.
         “Denying Charlotte’s death won’t make
things better. You have to face it for yourself and for your little girls. They
need you, Neil.”    
         He fidgeted.
         “You gotta be strong for them. You’re their
daddy, yet they’re worrying about you .”
         “They’re worried about me?”
         “You think just because they’re kids, they
don’t notice what you’re doing? They’re not stupid. I remember all the pain I
suffered as a child. I might not have known why it was happening, but I knew
what it was. Don’t you wanna be here for your girls?”
         “Of course. Other than them, I have no life
without Charlotte. She was my whole world.”
         Trina pointed toward the door. “Those
little girls are your whole world now.”
         Winter walked in. “I’m hungry. Trina, are
you gonna cook now?”
         “Cook?”
         “You do know how to cook, right?” Neil
asked.
         “Of course I know how to cook.”
         It’s just been so long since I had to.
         Trina grimaced. “But I
can’t cook in that kitchen with the sink the way it is.”
         The doorbell rang.
         Neil smiled. “That should be the plumber.”
         He and Winter left the room.
         The door closed before Trina could follow.
         She jumped back. “What the heck?”
         “Surprise.” Lorraine appeared.
         “Hey, Trina.” Roxy appeared on the bed with
his legs crossed. “You seem to be fitting in well.”
         “It’s my job to make sure you’re not
fitting in too well.” Lorraine
winked. “If you get my drift.”
         “What are you guys doing here?” Trina moved
from the door. “What if they see you?”
         “They can’t see us.” Roxy bounced his leg.
“Lorraine was concerned, so she wanted to be around to help.”
         “You were concerned about me?” Trina raised
an eyebrow.
         “Don’t get it twisted.” Lorraine maneuvered
her wide hips around the room. “I just didn’t want you to fall flat on your
face. I know how much it means for you to get into Heaven. Daniela sent me to
look after you.”
         “I don’t think I need your help.”
         “You never know when you need an angel.”
Lorraine smiled. “Did I tell you I was one?”
         “You’re an angel?” Trina scoffed. “How come
you can’t fly?”
         “You see how big she is?” Roxy laughed under
his hand. “Even Heaven doesn’t have wings strong enough to hold her up.”
         Lorraine glared at him. “I don’t need
wings.”
         “Yeah, the only wings you want are those on
a chicken.” Roxy laughed.
         “Anyway…” Lorraine rolled her eyes. “Trina,
you’re doing well with Neil. You two seem to be hitting it off.”
         “He’s so fine.” She fanned her face. “He
has the most beautiful blue eyes and dimples. I hadn’t noticed the dimples
before.”
         “Ooh, child.” Roxy leaned back. “Love me a
man with some dimples. I’m getting all hot in places I don’t need to be getting
hot in.”
         “Looks like we came in time, then.”
Lorraine cleared her throat. “Daniela forgot to inform you of a big rule. See,
it’s against the rules for you to get involved with Neil.”
         “Come again?” Trina put her hand on her
hip.
         “You cannot fraternize with Neil,” Lorraine
said. “Nothing romantic or sexual can happen between you, or you automatically
fail the task.”
         “ What ?” Trina yelled.
“That’s ridiculous.”
         “It’s the rules.”
         “But that makes no sense.” Trina walked
around the room. “What difference does it make?”
         “Spirits cannot mix with mortals that way,”
Lorraine said.
