Emma's funeral took place one week later. Sean managed to give his speech about Emma without
dissolving into tears. At the end of the ceremony people kept congratulating him on his performance.
Sean had spent a lot of time on it; more time than he would ever put into schoolwork. He had wanted it to be perfect for Emma.
"She would have really loved it." Spike said to Sean, "Thank you so much."
"Of course." Sean said. Spike gave him a hug before moving onto another person.
Manny spotted Sean and came over to talk to him. "Great speech, Sean. Emma would have really loved it." If Sean had a dime for everytime someone had said that to him...
"Yeah, well I wanted it to be perfect for her. But I would much rather have not made the speech.
I would rather have her here with me now." He said, trying to keep his coldness to a minimal.
"I know, Sean. But...she is here, watching over us. She's your angel." Manny said simply.
"Yeah...you're right." Sean looked up at the sky and smiled. He was sure that he saw Emma's face in the clouds.
"Sean?" Manny asked, confused, "You alright."
Sean looked down at Manny. "Yeah...yeah, now I am. As long as I've got my angel watching me,
I will be." He looked up at the sky again.
"Wha...what?" Manny asked. She too looked up at the sky. Sean just laughed and shook his head.
"Nothing." he said, still laughing. He pulled Manny into a hug.
After the funeral, Sean was finally able to make peace with Emma's death. He walked alone on the sidewalk, hands in his pockets. Sean would always miss Emma even though she was with him wherever he went; she was in his heart. That would never change.
Apart from being a part of him, Emma surrounded him. She was in the wind, the trees, everywhere.
She would always be by his side until he met her in heaven. Sean felt a little gust of wind blow by him. He smiled and said, "I love you."
Sean walked back to Joey's with a little breeze following him close behind the whole way.
