Now those very same cufflinks were in a box in her living room. Apart of the jewelry and such that was removed from his body to have him cremated. She remembered how they cut the light that shone through the window as he laid in his casket. Almost as if they were calling out to her, she thought.
………………………….
Since her procedure was scheduled for two days later, Alice figured she still had enough time to talk some sense into Tina. She’d made her visit early the next day and had just sat there in silence while Tina slept. She was so wrapped up in what she’d prepared herself to say that she was jolted form her thoughts by Tina’s voice.
“Why are you here Alice?” she asked with her eyes still closed but knowing that Alice was there because of the soft perfume that she wore, and the sound of her biting her thumb nail didn’t help.
“I-” her mouth hung open with hesitation, “I came to check on you.”
“I’m fine.”
“Tina I really think tha…”
“Don’t. Ok, just- don’t. It’s to goddamn early to have this conversation with you Alice.” she sat up now frustrated that she wouldn’t be able to get back to sleep now that Alice had prepared herself to lay some self righteous guilt trip on her. “Just go home. Go home to your wife.” she spat the last word into existence with disdain and an eye roll that cut Alice deeply.
“Tina, there’s apart of Rick left that could live on with you. I’m trying to understand why you wouldn’t that, but nothing comes to me at all.”
“Correction Al, there’s apart of Rick and Me that is growing inside of me. But there is no more Rick and me, it’s dead. And if he were here I’m sure this conversation wouldn’t be an issue.”
“But he isn’t and it is a major issue. My family has a chance to hold onto him a little longer than planned and you want to destroy it.”
“Yes!” she shouted now frustrated. “He’s gone Alice. My life is destroyed, there is no since in dragging out something that has died long since. I don’t want this life, I never did!” she broke with tears.

Wow talk about heartbreak
Been a a silent fan of your work. I wait for an update for this story everyday…it’s a favorite of mine…I know what it’s like to grieve…hope you post soon.
I have always loved your writing. The emotions are so tangible in this story! I can’t wait for more. PPS
Wow, Tina has been through the ringer. My thought process is more inline with Alice’s. Maybe now Tina has come to realize that she is still tied to Rick through this unborn child.
5Poor baby she has been thru so much but maybe now she sees that she still has a part of Rick with her and will always see his smile, hear his laughter and all the little nuances of him in the little one she is carrying. She will see so much of him when this child is born and while the child grows to maturity. She will see his eyes, his hands, his nose, a turn of his head, just a myriad of things about him that only she will recognize.Thanks for posting.
Poor Tina.Thank you for the update.PPS
Thank you for this story – you have written such a moving depiction of Tina’s grief. I’m sure with Rick’s baby and Alice’s help she will get through this terrible period, and in time can meet Dr Porter again.
This is so sad and heartbreak for Tina. Yay Dr.Porter is here and hope she will help Tina and keep the baby. Please post more, thanks!

It has verysubconsciousintellectual undertones and I feel like I get what you’re trying to reach for….. so thank you and by all means follow thru….:D
