Adam walked up to the Girardis' front door and rang the doorbell.
"I'll get it!" Joan yelled as she ran down the stairs.
"Hey," he said quietly when she opened the door.
"Adam, what are you doing here?" she asked, not knowing whether to be mad or happy.
"Can we talk?" he asked, stepping closer.
"Sure, yeah, come on in," she said as she headed to the living room and sat down on the couch.
Adam sat down next to her but didn't say anything.
"What did you want to talk about?" she asked after a long silence.
"Will we ever be us again?" was all he said.
"You mean like a couple?" she replied.
Adam nodded.
"No," she said firmly.
"Oh, uh, look Jane, I'm really, really sorry," he said, looking very disappointed.
"I know Adam," was all she could say.
"Remember when you said you talk to God and I didn't believe you?" he questioned, catching her off guard.
"Yeah," she said skeptically.
"I believe you now," he said, looking straight at her.
"Is this some weird way to try to win me back after all you did?" she said angrily, standing up.
"No, no Jane, that's not what I meant," he said, standing up and placing his hands on her arms trying to calm her down.
"Then what do you mean?" she asked, pulling away from him.
"I talk to angels," Adam said flat out.
"I know that. You've told me before," she replied, trying not to cry.
"No, I really do. Real angels," he said, trying to convince Joan.
"What?" Joan was getting angry again.
"Just today, twice. I was going to Grace's this morning when I saw her for the first time. She told me to talk to you but I got scared and then this afternoon in my shed the angel was an old guy and he said I should have come over and told me to go back and so I did, but I don't know why or what to do," Adam was surprised how it all just came out.
Joan sat back down still staring at him.
"I loved you, wasn't that enough?" she said after a long pause.
He remained silent, angry with himself.
"Wasn't it?" she yelled, almost crying.
"Just go," she said before he could reply.
Adam brushed her tears away and silently walked out.
