"Jim this is my friend, Rick Payne"
"Hi, how are you doing" Rick said , walking up and giving him a hug, Jim looked confused as he did not remember this man.
"Icky" Alexis grinned reaching her arms, she had not perfected the "R" sound yet.
Melinda smiled and walked to Jim and gave him a kiss. "He is an really old friend of ours, but he moved away a while ago but comes back for visits a lot. He was really helpful when Alexis was a newborn."
"Mel, we need to talk alone" he grabbed her hand and lead her out the shop.
"I thought you were going to meet me"
"Sorry, I must of lost track of time."
Jim nodded. "Alright, do you want to all go for dinner now?
"Yea, you aren't jealous are you?"
"No, I just don't like it when you forgot about our plans"
Melinda sighed and want to gather her stuff and Alexis, she said her farewells to Rick and they left. They enjoyed a nice dinner at Chukie Cheese.
"Well, she is out like a light" Melinda said walking into her room later that night. Jim smiled and took her arm and pulled on the bed next to him.
"Mel, can I ask you something"
"Did you ever see my brother Dan?"
"Yea, but he crossed over a while ago"
"Does he blame me for his death?."
"No, but why can you remember that, but not the night we met?'
Jim looked at the ground as for not to see her , "I don't know, Mel. It feels like I have this huge puzzle in my head and half the pieces are missing. Its not fair, I want to understand us and more about you and this gift you have."
"Jim, so you believe that I have a gift now?"
"Yea, I am coming around to the idea, Now, that I had some time to think about it, I think its pretty cool that you can help people so much."
Melinda threw her arms and kissed him, "Thanks, you have no idea how much this means to me. Now, why don't we go downstairs and watch some home movies and look at some pictures?"
"I would really like that" he smiled and followed her out of the room.
