Grim Reapers could still visit the dead in heaven. They just couldn't enter heaven itself. A lot of the time family would come to the Gate to see their loved ones.

Jane looked at the Gate, a few reapers were talking to some family on the far right, but Jane couldn't see anyone she would know. Amelia tugged her along to the Gate, Jane clasped the gold bars and looked around, but the person she wanted to see wasn't there.

"Neither of them, are here," Jane said. "Let's just…"

"Peter! Hey! Peter!" Amelia shouted waving her hands in the air. A man turned toward them and came toward them.

"Yes, Lia?" Peter asked.

Amelia sighed and put a hand on her charges shoulder. "She's feeling sad, can you please find her family and bring them here? I was hoping they might cheer her up a little."

Peter looked at Jane. Jane looked down.

"I can do that," Peter said.

Jane smiled a little. Peter reached a hand through the Gate and clasped Jane's shoulder. Then he turned and walked away.

Heaven was rumoured to be huge. It was said you could fit the entire universe into it, and it would still have room left over.

Jane had no idea if that was true or not. Still, it always surprised Jane when the longest she had to wait for her family was a few minutes at most.

Jane saw them approach and she waved to get their attention.

A man who looked to be around 17 smiled when he saw her. His eyes sparkled and his lips curled in that crooked grin she had loved when she was alive.

"Jane," He said his hand came through the gate, Jane clasped it tightly. "How are you doing?"

"Thomas," Jane said.

Thomas frowned and tilted his head. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Jane looked away.

Amelia placed a hand on Jane's shoulder. "She misses her brother."

"So do I," the older man said. He reached his hand through the gate and Jane clasped it tightly.

"He doesn't remember us," Jane said.

"I know sweetie," The older man said. "I know."

"I see our daughter on occasion," Jane said with a glance at Thomas, he smiled sadly. "She knows who I am, knows who you are, mom talks about us all the time. I fear the day, Emily becomes old enough to ask questions."

Neither Thomas nor her father said anything. A part of her was grateful that they were refraining, yet she also hated the pity.

She looked at Thomas. Her husband, and best friend.

"I'm sorry," She said to Thomas. "I'm so sorry."

"I know," Thomas said. "I'm sorry I didn' t try harder."

Jane shook her head. "You did," She said looking at him. "You tried so hard. You were so kind to me, so gentle, so patient. I'm sorry I married you.

Thomas shook his head. "I chose you, Jane."

"And I knew I was not ready to marry, I was too broken, but I, as a foolish girl, I thought I might be happier if I married. So I chose the first boy, who showed me kindness since my brother died."

Thomas shook his head. "Jane…"

"Please," Jane said shaking her head.

Thomas smiled once they were gone. "I do love you," He said.

"And I, you," Jane said.

"I know," Thomas said. "And no matter what, I always will. No matter what. I loved the girl who was terrified to skate again, I loved the girl whose smile could light up the sky, even if showing it was a rarity. The smile being rare made it all the more precious when you showed it again. I loved you when you woke from nightmares and I loved you when you rested on my chest after a long day. I loved you then, and I love you now."

Tears ran down Jane's face. "I love you too," she said. "I miss you."

"Do you remember the rides you and I would take?" Thomas asked. Jane nodded. One of those rides had been when she had kissed him for the first time."

"They always made you happy,"

Jane looked down. "I tried after you died, but…"

"Did you try with family? With friends?" Thomas asked.

Jane looked away.

Her father stepped in."Grief needs company, Jane. So does Sorrow. It stops you from falling too deep."

Jane nodded. "Ok," She said with a nod. "I'll try."

Thomas smiled he also kissed his fingers and reached through the gate and touched Jane's lips. Jane also kissed her own lips and reached through the gate and touched Thomas's lips.
