Chapter 36

Renae and I were in Kileys old study as she tried to finish Kileys self portrait that she started almost seventy years ago. At one point I sat on the couch next to the desk and had drifted off. I was woken up when Rae shook my shoulder. She had pencil marking on her neck from holding herself up.

"I'm done." She smiled at me excited to show me the drawing. I sat up and stretched as she stepped back from the desk. I stood up and looked over to see my late wife staring back at me.

"What do you think?" Rae bit her lip nervous.

"It's perfect!" I sang as I engulfed her in my arms. A few tears escaped my eyes as she hugged me back.

"I'm glad you like it." She whispered in my ear.

"Thank you." I whispered back. Having finally seen the drawing complete, I didn't feel like I needed to keep holding on to her.
