"Go to sleep, my darling daughter. Have only god dreams tonight. Go to sleep, my little girl, daddy's here to watch over you."
The man sang his voice very faint and seemingly far away. He brushed a silent tear out of his eye, before fading away to darkness.
Gracia stood by the door to her daughter's room. She heard the soft singing and instantly knew who it was. She smiled a tear of her own making its way down her face. "Maes…" She whispered, and gave a sad sounding sigh. She turned and left the room, and headed toward her own room, the one she formerly shared with her husband.
She lay on the large, empty bed as soon as she'd shut off the lights and locked the door. She rolled over to the empty spot where her husband would have been, and should have been, and began to cry softly to herself and her silent house.
Tears continued to roll down her face, and she felt a soft breeze move through the still air. "Maes…" She whispered again, unconsciously. She felt a soft touch brush away a tear. "Thank you Maes…" She muttered, and soon drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
The faded man stood at the far end of the room, smiling to himself, "I am here to watch over you both…to make sure no one hurts you…" He spoke into the black room, and vanished.
Gracia stirred in her sleep, as though she'd heard his words, and a smile graced her features.
