Authors Note: I cried as I wrote this chapter, Tony finally comes to terms with Kate's death.
Until We Meet Again
At home Tony lied in bed thinking about the events of the day and how it did help to talk to someone. Tony slowly drifted off to sleep; his last thought was of Kate. The next thing he knew he was awake only to be greeted by Kate's familiar face. "Kate, it can't be you're dead." Tony said a bit shocked. "Yes Tony I am, but there was something I needed to tell you." Kate said as she sat down on the bed next to him. "I love you too. And if things would have turned out different and I would have lived we would be together." Kate said. "If only I would have told you how I felt all those times I had the chance." Tony said. "What would you have said?" Kate asked. "That I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, that I didn't want anyone but you, and that I love you." Tony said. "I always knew Tony." Kate said and then she kissed him. "Where do I go from here Kate?" Tony asked. "You get on with your life. In time even this wound will heal just promise you won't ever forget me." Kate said. "I promise." Tony replied. "I have to go now. I love you Tony." Kate said. "I love you too Kate, but I don't want to say good-bye." Tony said. "Then let's not, let's just say until we meet again." Kate said and then faded away. Tony then cried himself back to sleep. In the morning when he awoke his first thought was of Kate and seeing her last night. 'Was it just a dream?' he thought to himself. He then decided it wasn't and remembered what she said about him moving on. He would get on with his life; he would do it for Kate. "Until we meet again, Kate, until we meet again."
