Bevy suddenly stops walking and turns to face me.

"Close your eyes," she tells me.

I close them, but lift one eyelid just enough to peek at her.

"I said close them, Trip Fisher!" she scolds with a laugh, smacking me lightly in the chest.

"Hey, I just had a heart attack, don't hit me in the chest!" I complain with a chuckle, but do as she says.

Bevy grabs both of my hands and gives them a squeeze just as a breeze floats over my face. In seconds, I can clearly see every word contained within her journals floating behind my eyelids. Each pa.s.sage corresponds with a memory from our time together and they play out like scenes in my mind, but it's the words she wrote the day after we got married that stand out the most.

"I knew I'd never make it as a singer in California, but it was never really my dream. My dream was always the man sitting on the couch across from me, reading the morning paper. My dream was always Trip Fisher. I told him I was leaving, hoping that he would chase me. And he did."

I open my eyes to find Bevy looking at me with her head tilted to the side and a soft smile on her face.

"I just wanted you to chase me, Trip Fisher."

"I would chase you anywhere, Beverly Fisher," I reply.

Bevy suddenly lets go of my hands and takes off running down the beach, shouting over her shoulder as she goes.

"Race you to the lighthouse!"

Her hair flies behind her as she runs and I laugh as I follow her.

Keeping my promise, I chase her anywhere, even in Heaven.

The End.
