She opened her eyes, and looked at hi that I am”

She looked into his eyes and tried to remember She was confused

“Who are you?” she asked She felt deep inside her soul that she knew him, but somehow she could not remember

“Don’t you remember?” Benji asked

She tried with everything that she had, but she just could not remember

Suddenly, Benji started slipping away frorab hi away and watched horrified as he went plunging down, disappearing into a cloud

Rachel blinked and found herself standing in front of her grand the doorbell, but saw that it was broken and hanging froht fist and knocked loudly on the stained glass front door, waiting for her to open it She heard the pitter patter of footsteps coe door, which creaked on its hinges, there stood an old lady with long straight gray hair, staring back at her with fierce eyes
