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.
