The house was so empty it was practically silent Evelyn had sent her son to stay with Barbara for a week after the funeral. She couldn't stand to see his face and it's so hard on an 8 year old to know your mother didn't even want see you. Little Daniel had been at Barbara's for three days already and Evelyn still hadn't left her bedroom. A picture of Rafe sat lonely on the end table his face held is magnetic smile and Evelyn's tears fell faster and harder every time she looked at it.
"Rafe are you there? Honey if you're out here answer me. Just give me a sign I'm not alone here. I don't do alone real well." Evelyn turned over and buried her face in her pillow continuing to weep.
"She's crying again." Rafe exhaled hard put his head in his hands
Danny leaned over and turned off the radio
"You've got ears like a dog man I didn't hear that."
"When can I go see her?"
"Right now if you want to. but do you think she can handle it?"
"Probably not I think I'll just visit." With that the two were miraculously transported to the doorway of Evelyn's room. They watched as her as she cried into Rafe's old sweater her hair a mess and her eyes puffy. Still to both of them she was still the most beautiful creature on the face of the planet. Danny got a tight feeling in the pit of his stomach as he stood there watching the love of his life and mother of his only child sob over his best friend.
"She didn't cry like that over me." He stated and Rafe avoided the comment
"How does this work?" Rafe twisted his neck to face Danny
"What do you want? Do you want her to see you, hear you?" Danny questioned
"Neither you won't be able to take that I just want her to know I'm here for her."
"Okay well that's easy go over there and close the window."
Rafe did as he was told and when the panes touched Evelyn's head whipped around in the direction of the window.
"Rafe? Oh god Evelyn now you're suffering from delusions at grander." Evelyn wiped her eyes with the back of her hand
"Danny it's not working" Rafe looked at Danny panicked
"See that candle on the end table go light it."
"Sorry Danny I seem to be out of matches." Rafe answered sarcastically
"You don't need em Rafe you're an angel."
Despite his skepticism he walked over to the candle waved his hand over it and watched as the flame began to flicker.
"Rafe honey is that you?" Evelyn walked to the table and was standing face to face with her husband though staring right threw him.
"Rafe Danny your time is up." That same unfamiliar voice Rafe had heard in the church warned as the candle went out and the guys were brought back to the little pool hall in heaven.
