Unforgettable by Kimberly Foster Read Free Book Online

chase away the darkness and memory of that dream. Turning on the heat to take away the chill, she retreated to the kitchen to warm up some of Mrs. Princeton’s soup.
    While she ate, she listened to her favorite radio program, “Late Night Love Songs.” People would call in to the station and dedicate songs to their loved ones. Sometimes they were funny, or even stupid, and sometimes they were downright mean, even if they were deserved, and sometimes they touched her heart.
    By the time Breezy was ready for bed, only a few more minutes were left to the program. It had helped keep her mind off things and she decided to listen to the rest of the show. The DJ’s familiar voice returned after the commercial break.
    “Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve saved the best dedication for last. I mean, if you want mystery, intrigue and romance, this guy is the best. If you’re the lucky lady this goes out to, someone out there cares about you and, in today’s world, that’s all that matters.
    “Anyway, this man called in earlier today and gave me a message to send out tonight, along with two song dedications to his special lady. Not one song, but two. He was adamant that I get this right and made me repeat it back to him just to make sure. So, here goes…
    “To the lady in the parking lot…you know who you are, I had hoped we would get to meet properly but, by the time you hear this, I will be on a plane halfway home. Our paths may never cross again but fate was kind enough to let us meet once. Perhaps it will smile on us again someday. At least, that is my dearest hope. Until then, I suppose we will remain strangers.
    “This may be the only chance I will ever have of speaking directly to you. At home, I am known to be cold hearted, some would even say unfeeling and, to a point, they were right. I had no one, nor did I care for anyone. I had no friends, nor did I want any, until that fateful day when I held you in my arms. When you looked at me and smiled, something inside me broke, or perhaps it just came to life again. I do not know. I only know that when I held you, you looked like an angel. An angel right here on Earth in my arms and, for the first time in a long time, I began to live again.
    “Today, I noticed the leaves beginning to change. Today, I drove by the park and stopped to watch the children play. I never noticed things like that before, never took the time and certainly never cared, and then I met you. When I saved your life, you somehow managed to save my life in return and I cannot begin to thank you enough for that. Yes, Dear Angel, YOU saved MY life. Let me show you my gratitude once more by dedicating these two simple songs to you. Thank you again and I hope you are feeling better soon. Farewell, Earth Angel, until we meet again.
    S.D.”
    “Well, there it is,” the DJ continued in a soft voice, “romance, mystery and intrigue in its finest form. Somewhere out there is a beautiful lady, an Earth Angel, and somewhere out there, perhaps flying in the heavens at this moment, is the man who loves her. For whatever reason, these two people, these two souls, are not together tonight and I wish them well, I truly do. I hope, for their sakes, that the fates do smile on them once more. So, for the Earth Angel, whoever you are, wherever you are, these two songs are for you and you alone.”
    Breezy couldn’t stop the tears as she listened to the DJ’s soft voice and the song, “Earth Angel.” She wasn’t even sure why she was crying. She didn’t try to think about it, she just sat on her bed, listened to the song, and cried.
    As the song ended, the DJ switched tapes silently. Breezy knew he did it on purpose to lend a little more intrigue and romance to the dedication.
    Breezy wiped her eyes and walked over to the window. The night sky was clear, stars twinkled brightly overhead, and the Harvest Moon was full. Somehow, just by looking out the window, she knew what the second one would be and, as the music to
