I saw her grave and it felt like knives in my heart. She's dead, she is really dead. A corpse underground in a coffin. How disgusting that my Winnie is surrounded by that. Worms and bugs, but all the flowers are up top none underneth. How my heart yearns to her her say my name. How I alw-- There's something in the tree's, moving towards me closer and closer. It's fast and lean. I have to hide, bushes, to small. Trees, to far, but I'm going to have to try! No one can see me. No one. I run over to the tree, the creature is moving fast almost to the clearing, say 10 feet. As I'm about to jump words catch my ear.

"Please, wait Jesse. No need to be afraid. Jesse?" I look at the girl whose the voice is coming from and my whole world shatters there she is, in shorts and a tank-top, but she's here. WAIT! She cant be, it's hallutionations. No more, no less.

"You're no real."

"What?"

"You're not here."

"Jesse, I'm right here." She took a step closer to me.

"Please, my heart can't take it. My mind is betraing me."

"Jesse Tuck! I am here and very much alive. I've been here for 99 years waiting for you. Do not tell me it was for nothing!"

"Nothing! Nothing! I love you with all my heart, I said I'd come back when it was safe-"

"And it took 99 years! I've been alone, Jesse! Only here with my fake grave, I had to change my name 9 times!"

"Well what's you name now, Winnie?"

"Suzanne Foster Tuck"

"Tuck?"

"I love you be with me, all 1652 steps to the top. My flight is not for two days."

"Two da-- Winnie! You're dead."

"My god! I'm not! I ran away at 18. Didn't come back till about. . . . 14 years ago. By then I'd been claimed dead and here is my grave. I'm real, I can prove it!" With that she took the final step and kissed me! Lips on mine, passion in passion, love with love,. anger, frightness, delicacy, exotic-ness all mingling together, all in one kiss. It's Winnie, my Winnie alive and whole. She's here.

"Two days?"

"Be there."

"I'm not leaving your side."

"Nor I yours."

"You still talk like that?"

"Sometimes. . . ."

"I will love you until the day I die"

"And I you, my love"
