Ti Moune's head rested peacefully on Daniel's chest, breathing in time with its rise and fall. His eyes fluttered open slightly, but he remained still so not to wake the sleeping girl. He sighed, her warmth filling him with peace and love. Even though he knew he would not be with her forever, he treasured these moments.
Papa Ge sat alone in the sky realm that was the home of the Gods. Even he, the God of Death, couldn't help but find immortality dreadfully boring and lonely. He used to spend all day just watching and waiting for a soul to die so he could leave this god-forsaken cloud for at least a moment. But ever since that night... that night when Agwe crashed the car of a grand homme, things had changed. He had been fixated on life. A life. The life of the wistful peasant girl named Ti Moune.
Erzulie watched Papa Ge from a distance. For days, she had watched him, questioning her own knowledge. Questioning that look that she knew she saw in his eyes as he watched the Mortal world. She beckoned her sister to her. "Asaka, come here for a moment."
"What is it, Erzulie?" she asked.
"Haven't you noticed it? Look how he watches Earth, Asaka."
Asaka just laughed. "I think your intuition is failing you, sister. I fear you are losing your touch!"
"You can laugh," she replied sincerely. "But I know what I see. Our Papa Ge does know the warm touch of love."
