worst pain there is, and it’s not that bad when you know what’s on the other side.
     
    This.
     
    Her.   These moments are forever… it’s pain that’s temporary and alone.
     
    If I’ve learned one thing from Giddeon, it’s that reality isn’t real unless you have someone to help make it real.   You see, that’s when reality truly gains permanence… when someone is with you.   Observation makes the electron go through one slit or the other.   Love makes the heart also choose a path.   And, I’ve found that the path with her is everywhere the same…  
     
    Together.  
     
    She and I flow in concert like a wave, hand in hand, and the universe opens softly around us.   And, always, there is eternal beauty and symmetry as far as the eye can see… as far as the eye can see, and, beyond.   To the ends of space and time and on out into forever.  
     
    It’s amazing, and I can perceive it all because I focus through the immortal lens of her essence.

Chapter 7
     

     
    We were at the beach because Kevin Ho wasn’t available to meet with us until the next day.   He thought that we would be getting together for a lunch interview, and that my wife and I were hopeful founders for a soon-to-be published astronomy magazine.   Using information provided by Giddeon, Melody had arranged everything by telephone, and Dr. Ho had no idea that the Mr. and Mrs. ‘Knox’ he was to meet with were not who they were supposed to be.
     
    I admit, listening to my wife spin such a convincing fabrication over the telephone to the astronomer gave me a bit of a pause, but when I thought about what was at stake, I was very proud of her acting ability.   Besides, I had always known she had that capability within her.   When she would look at me with loving eyes, after outfitting me in a new suit or casual wardrobe, and would tell me how handsome I was and how she was such a lucky girl to have ended up with me… well, it didn’t take an Einstein to figure out she could have won an award or two at the Golden Globes if she had put her mind to it.
     
    On the other hand… maybe she just has a problem with her vision.   Kind of like being color-blind, except her impairment obscures gentle shades of ugly.   I’m not gonna change optometrists, though… let her see what she sees.   I don’t mind.

    We were already seated at the outdoor table of the restaurant when Dr. Ho arrived.   The pool, complete with a waterfall and a swim-up bar, was adjacent to us, and the sound of the cascading liquid provided a white noise backdrop that would keep our conversation private.   I later learned that the area also had no surveillance camera coverage, as they were on the blink that day… Giddeon could be very thorough with such details.
     
    Melody waved and Dr. Ho came over, dapper in his white, open collared shirt, navy blazer and dress pants.   He was a young-looking forty, trim, with jet black hair and intelligent eyes.   His Asian ancestry was evident, and he appeared to be a mix of Japanese and Polynesian heritages.   Little Gid, who was sitting in his high chair, lit up like a Christmas tree when Kevin came in our direction.   He began smiling, giggling and banging a hand on his tray… all the while pointing at the astronomer with his other hand.   Or maybe, he was pointing at what was ‘around’ the astronomer.   It was hard to tell since Gid was so animated.   Dr. Ho, my wife and I laughed at the reaction.   A waiter came and took our drink orders.
     
    Introductions were made all around.   Kevin even shook little Gid’s hand.   I could have sworn I saw filaments of light connect those two appendages before they touched.   On closer inspection, I could see an aura of blue radiating out from around the head and shoulders of the scientist as he had himself a seat between my son and my wife.   I was seated across from the doctor at the table for four, and the beach and
