  “Did you really expect him to show up, Ser? I mean he is a guy. They are known for being thoughtless douche bags.”

  “Gabe was different. He's not the typical guy remember?”

  “Of course! How could I forget? He's the angelic voice inside your head. How could I be so thoughtless and forget that?”

  “Wow Ems, tell me how you really feel.”

  “Well since you asked so nicely, fine. I will. I think you're being extremely hard on the guy. Just a voice in your head or not, you have no idea what he has going on when he's not with you. Maybe he was in the middle of something he couldn't get away from right when you happened to call.”

  “Is this more of your guardian angel theory? Because you know how I feel about that.”

  “Yeah, yeah I know. You think it’s a bunch of bullshit. Which I think is crazy really. I mean, you can talk to dead people and somehow I'm the crazy one for thinking one of your voices might be an angel?”

  Emma has a point. I have this ability that everyone seems to think is some kind of gift, yet I did think what she’s saying is too farfetched to be real.

  “Fine, you're right. He could be an angel, but that still doesn't explain why he would lie to me.”

  “You're going to make me spell it out for you, aren't you?”

  “Of course, you know how much I love doing that. Your ability to spell things out is sexy.”

  Rolling her eyes in response she continued. “Even the best person on the planet, living or dead, can't be with someone every second. It's just not possible. So instead of beating yourself and him up over this, why not accept him for being who or what he is. Someone that makes mistakes, kind of like someone else I know.”
