Chapter Four
"Hello?" Landon said after picking up the phone.
"Hello, um, is Landon Carter home?"
"This is he."
"Landon. Dear Landon. It's you."
"Is this Reverend Sullivan?"
"Well do you hear my voice every Sunday and did you marry my daughter?"
"Yes."
"Then yes it is."
"Okay. What's up? Is something wrong?"
"No indeed Landon, no indeed."
"What's going on then?"
"I think you should go to the beach. Get some, fresh air?"
"Um, okay. Are you going to jump me or something?"
"Mr. Carter.."
"Can you at least tell me why?"
"No. You'll see." The reverend sounded like he had something up his sleeve. They said goodbye and hung up the phone. Landon stood there for a moment, puzzled. He still decided to go to the beach, but you know, watch his back. 'Who knows, maybe the Reverend is up to no good. It's not likely, but it's possible. Even though he is the pastor.' He thought.
"Mom, I'm going to the beach. Be back later!" Landon said to his mom.
"Okay, Hon!" she said back. She seemed like she had something up her sleeve too. 'Oh no! Maybe they're in it together!' He thought.
He left the house, locking the door on his way out, and hopped into his car.
When he finally got to the beach, he turned off his car. He looked around suspiciously as he got out. 'Nothing too peculiar.' He thought, as he got out.
He said out loud, but very quietly, like a mumble, 'What the h**l am I supposed to do here? I'm alone.'
He heard a voice behind him "You shouldn't use that language." It sounded like Jamie.
He felt a tap on the shoulder. He turned around. "J-J-Jamie?"
"Yes. It's me Landon." She smiled slightly.
Landon just stood there in complete shock. He couldn't smile. He couldn't even keep his mouth closed. His jaw was just hanging there. He was amazed, and he didn't think it was possible. 'This is unbelievable.' He thought. 'Am I dreaming?'
Almost as though Jamie could read his mind while he was standing there, silent and still, she said, "Landon, this is no dream. I'm really here."
"I..You..we.You're..I love you." That was all Landon could say, but after all this time, that was good enough. Landon couldn't move, so Jamie gave him a warm hug. He tried to hug back, but he was really stiff and shakey.
"Loosen up," She giggled. "I'll always be here for you. I love you! Do you still have your wedding ring?"
Landon was able to speak a bit. "Yes, I do. I don't wear it though. I don't think my girlfriend would." He stopped. "SO, how'd you get here? I thought.."
"You don't think your girlfriend would feel comfortable if you wore it? It's okay Landon, I understand. Katie seems like a very special girl."
Landon didn't care how the hek Jamie knew about Katie. He didn't care (at the moment) how she was here, and alive. "Oh Jamie. Not as special as you. No one could replace you. Not even Katie. Please baby, I need to hold you in my arms again." He pulled Jamie in closer to him and put his lips to hers gently. She backed away.
"Landon, I love you. But you have Katie. How could you do this to her?"
"I love you more than Katie. I'll break up with her. Anything for you."
Jamie couldn't say anything. She just looked at him. She wanted him, but she didn't want him to hurt Katie. She didn't know what to do.
Landon still didn't know how she was alive. It was either some sort of miracle, or he was crazy. He didn't know. But he was determined to find out.
