Excerpt:
“So you’re warning me away from you?” I was
appalled. “Then why are you doing this…guarding me at all? Why the torment? Why
watch over me when you know that…that we should be more?” I felt on the verge
of tears, which amazed me. How could pain be so sharp in the afterlife? “Answer
me, Eran. Why?”
He sighed. “Because it is my job.”
I gasped, more offended than I’d ever been.
“I’m a job to you?” I stared at him and waited for his head to rise but he
refused to look at me.
“Yes,” he said weakly, defeated. His
beautiful, rugged voice released as a whimper and the pain inside me grew. “You
are just a job.”
I didn’t think it was possible but the
emptiness I’d felt with Eran being gone those many weeks held no comparison to
the magnitude of what I was experiencing right now.
I felt as if I had been gutted.
“No…” I shook my head. “I don’t believe you
because you see, Eran, I can feel your emotions run through me. Whether you
want to admit them or not, I know how you feel about me.”
Stunned, his head jerked up, his brilliant
blue-green eyes drilling into mine. “You feel me too? How can that be?”
“I don’t know. But I do know that I feel in
you the same emotions I have.”
He groaned and turned away. “That’s not
possible…” he muttered, pausing. When he spoke again his voice was strained,
determined. I drew in a breath as the intensity of these emotions ran through
me. “It doesn’t matter. I won’t let this happen. This will not happen…I will
not let us be together.”
“Because you are my guardian? Then let me
make it easy on us…You’re fired.”
“It doesn’t work that way, Magdalene,” he
said, quieter but still resolute.
“I didn’t want you to watch over me, Eran.
I never asked for it.”
As if he’d become an entirely new person,
his reply was flat and detached. “You’re a messenger. You require a guardian.
It’s as simple as that.”
“Then we’ve just solved the issue, didn’t
we?” I said causing him to finally look up. “This will be my last message. It’s
from me to you…goodbye Eran.”
Turning swiftly, I walked away just before
the tears came.
