Whisper

73

I watched as Evangeline's eyes grew wide.

"Oh my God!"

She turned to me.

"She is real."

.

I nodded, pouring myself a drink.

"Meet my daughter, Eva."

.

Whisper was now fully visible to Evangeline. She was wearing a long white dress, with stylish shoes. Her hair was over one ear and held in place with a headband.

.

She looked down at herself and then at me. "I love the dress Daddy."

She spun around in front of Evangeline.

.

Evangeline looked at me. I passed her a drink.

"She is amazing."

She sat back on the couch. Her eyes were wide.

"I don't believe this. There is a ghost standing in front of me."

.

"You aren't going to faint again, are you?" I asked her.

.

Evangeline drank her scotch and passed me the glass, shaking her head.

"I can't guarantee anything, at this point."

.

I took the glass, but did not refill it. I knew she would not need it now.

I sipped my drink and watched her.

.

Slowly, she leaned forward and just as slowly, she put her hand to Whispers face.

"I can feel her. At least, I can feel something."

.

"Then you are very lucky. There are only a few that have been even able to see Whisper, let alone ..."

I searched for the right words.

"Let alone, experience her."

.

Evangeline looked at me. "She is so beautiful."

.

Whisper put her hand on Evangeline's face and gently turned it toward her.

"Talk to me Evangeline. I can see you and I can hear you."

.

"You are so beautiful," Evangeline said, putting her hand back to Whisper's face.

The light on Whisper's face got brighter.

"Is she blushing?"

.

I nodded. "I believe she is."

.

Whisper shook her head.

"Its just a little warm in here, Daddy, that's all."

.

I laughed.

"You don't feel the heat or cold, little lady."

.

She simply smiled and looked at Evangeline.

.

"You are such a beautiful young woman. No wonder Will is in love with you."
