    “I be so sorry, lass. Howbeit, someone be
‘ere tae see ye. He states tha' he be yer boyfriend? I told 'im tae
await downstairs with me wife. I ken no’ wha' tae do, he seems, in
earnest, gel.”
    Disgusted and put out, she walked behind the
older man to the stairs. A she stomped down them, she saw the
sickening site of her ex-pig.
    “What in the Holy hell are you doing here,
Steven? I made myself crystal clear that you were not welcome. I
have no idea how you found me, but you can take yourself right back
to New York. You are not welcome in my home,” she ended two inches
from his smiling face.
    “Why, Addie, one would think you are not
exactly happy to see me. I am your boyfriend after all.”
    “Ex. Ex-boyfriend, and once again, you are
not welcome here.”
    Addie looked towards the tired looking couple
and saw nothing but awkwardness and uncomfortable silence. She felt
terrible that they were witnessed to Steven crazy ranting’s.
    “Steven, leave. Leave right now and I won’t
call the police. You are trespassing. We are done. Finished. I gave
you my blessing to continue with, Stacy,” she stated, through
clenched teeth.
    “Come on, Addie. That was a mistake. I told
you it was a slip. I thought the time away from one another would
have made that clearer within your mind. We were made for one
another….”
    Addie stopped him with a glare. Once she had
her feelings under control she replied, “I am seeing someone else.
I have zero feelings left for you. As a matter-of-fact, I never had
feelings for you.”
    His face turned a scary shade of red when her
words finally penetrated his thick brain.
    “You are already seeing someone else? It has
only been a week or so!” he yelled.
    Had it only been a week? she asked
herself.
    She had only known Conall for a week yet she
knew she loved him. She was convinced their destiny was to come
together in their current circumstance. Yes, she was sure of
it.
    Feeling confident, she smiled and replied,
“Yes. So leave, now. Do not come back.”
    “But….”
    “Leave, lad. Ye heard the, lass. She doesna’
wan' ye ‘ere. If ye leave quietly, we willna’ call fer someone tae
help ye leave,” Mister King stated.
    Steven first glared at her and then to the
couple and said, “Fine. I'll leave for now, but this is not
over.”
    With that threat hanging in the air, he
walked from the room and exited the home.
    Once he slammed the door shut she turned
toward the couple and said, “I am so sorry. I never knew he would
be crazy enough to follow me here.”
    “'Tis nothin’ tae fre' o’er, Deary. We
understand tha' young people suffer trials….”
    “This was not a trial. I caught him in bed
with my ex-best friend, and I decided that I had no feeling left
for either of them. I came here to get closure and to write my new
novel. I made it clear to him that we were no longer a couple. And
now I…” she stopped, embarrassed.
    “Ye ‘ave another lo’e,” Missus King said,
with a smile.
    “Yes. I know it has only been a week, but I
do. I love him very much,” she sighed, knowing Conall could hear
her declaration.
    “Sometimes lo’e can happen suddenly, lass. Me
wife an’ I married only af'er twa weeks o’ courtin’. We ‘ave been
together happily fer forty years, gel. Ye ken in yer heart yer lo’e
and sometimes there be no explanations. Yer heart decides,” Mister
King finished, with tears within his eyes.
    She watched as Missus King grabbed her
husband’s hand and kissed his lips softly. Feeling like an
interloper she moved away from the couple and walked back to her
room.
    As she walked through her door, she felt a
whisper cross her cheek, and she sighed in delight.
    She meant what she said, and she would not
refute it.
    ****
    Addie decreed her love for him. His heart
felt full and complete, but a pinch came to him within his
breast.
    He did not tell Addie the full truth. He had
yet to tell her, that she was the reincarnated spirit of
