He can't sleep he doesn't know what time it is all he knows is he can't sleep not without his wife's warm body cuddled up next to him the bed feels cold.
Rick feels something against him he sees Kate laying again his chest.
" you came back?," his voice is full of hope and he has a big grin on his face
She shakes her head and his face drops.
" why aren't you sleeping, babe?,"
" I can't I miss you and I can't sleep without you I've tried falling asleep cuddling your pillow and your clothes but it doesn't work I need you my heart aches for you,"
" I didn't want to die babe I wanted to live I kept my eye open as long as I could for you but by the time help arrived it was too late,"
" i should have been with you not in a meeting about a book tour I should have never left your side," his voice is angry his never going to forgive himself.
" please Rick don't blame this on yourself,"
" but you were the love of my life and I let you go,"
" it's been nearly two years, maybe you should talk to a therapist get it off your chest,"
" no, no therapist they will only make me move on,"
" I want you to be happy,"
" but I couldn't be happy with another women and I couldn't bring another women into our loft,her sleep in our bed on your side I just couldn't,"
" but your not happy,"
" I won't be happy with another women, please Kate there must be someway you can come back to life,"
" I wish I could come back to life but I'm always watching over you and I'm always with you in here," her hand covers his heart.
" always," she reassures him
Her thumb wipes away the tears on his cheek. She also pushes the hair off his forehead and press a light kiss to his forehead.
" get some sleep Rick,"
" will I ever see you again?,"
" yea you will, I'll be in your dreams and when you close your eyes I will be there,"
" I love you," he croaks out
" I love you too," she answers back
He closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep the next morning he reaches out for her but she's not there.
