“Maybe just a different type of spirit?”
Rishi suggested.
“Not sure but they had a glow about
them,” I answered. I was feeling very
confused.
I felt the same kind of warmth from
earlier sweep the area around me. But
this time it felt different. I not only
felt the warmth, I could feel the
warmth as it moved and even breathed. I
glanced nervously to the side knowing that this feeling would place it directly behind me. I turned my body
around slowly in preparation for the person I knew I’d see. My breath caught at
the sight of the young man leaning against the door frame. He was tall with dark hair cut short and was
wearing jeans with a white t-shirt. He wore combat boots and as my gaze moved
upward, I noticed a set of dog tags resting around his neck. He crossed his broad arms loosely as his dark
brown eyes met mine and a small half smile tugged at the corner of his mouth
showing a small dimple in his right cheek.
“You are right about us not being
spirits. We’re angels,” he offered as he
stood up straight and slowly made his way around the bench.
I turned back around following his
movements until he was standing directly in front of me. He held out his hand.
“I’m Alex. Your guardian angel,” he said.
