‘hi,’ she was still unforgettable.
    As he gazed at the moon and stars, Brittany’s lovely face floating in his mind, an idea came to him. First thing in the morning, he was going to set it in motion before he did anything else.

Chapter 4 “Bad Dreams”
    It was impossible for Susan to stay angry at Breezy, especially after everything she’d been through, so the next morning found her walking over to Breezy’s as if they’d never had an argument. She unlocked the door and stepped inside, smugly noting that the roses were all put into vases spread throughout the living room, hall and kitchen. The balloons had all also been gathered up into one big bunch and anchored down with a heavy log beside the fireplace in the living room.
    She watched as Breezy puttered around in the kitchen. One of the things Susan admired most about Breezy was her innate good nature. You might knock her down often and you might knock her down hard, but she never stayed down for long, always bouncing back up stronger than ever. She might need her pain meds as the day wore on but, for now, she looked good and Susan was glad to see it.
    “It’s nice to see you’re feeling better,” Susan greeted her.
    “Hi, Susan. Want some breakfast?” Breezy wasn’t the least bit surprised to hear Susan’s voice.
    “No, thanks. Does this mean I’m forgiven?”
    “What is it I’m supposed to be forgiving you for?”
    “For what I said yesterday.”
    “Oh, that. If anyone should be apologizing, it should be me for exploding yesterday. You were just telling the truth. It’s not your fault if the truth hurts.”
    “Tell ya what, you forgive me and I’ll forgive you and we’ll just forget the whole darn thing.”
    “Forgiven, forgotten, friends as always,” Breezy agreed, handing Susan a cup of coffee and joining her at the kitchen table.
    “As always,” Susan repeated.
    “How about your guardian angel? Is he forgiven too, or are you still mad at him for doing all that stuff for you?” Susan asked, sipping her coffee.
    “No, I’m not mad at him, although I intend to pay him back for every cent he put into my car. I realized last night that he was just trying to show he cared, just like you said. You were right, I have been pushing men away with both hands because of what Frank did to me. I couldn’t strike back at Frank so I’ve been taking my emotional baggage out on any man who came my way. I’ve been acting like a jerk and I’m putting an end to it right now.”
    “This sudden change wouldn’t have anything to do with a certain radio program last night, now would it…Earth Angel?” The mischievous grin on Susan’s face was priceless.
    “You heard that?” Breezy gasped, blushing furiously.
    “Yep, I knew it was him after the first sentence. The SD gave it away, though,” Susan chuckled.
    “It was sweet, but there is one thing that bothers me about it,” Breezy frowned.
    “What’s that?”
    “The words to Earth Angel… You don’t think he actually believes that, do you? I mean, you don’t think he’s some kind of nut who thinks he’s in love with me and that’s why he’s doing it, do you?”
    “I know he’s not, Breezy. When we were waiting at the hospital, he told me that you looked like an angel right here on Earth when he pulled you into his arms, dressed all in white like you were. He probably chose that song for its title. In fact, I’m sure of it.”
    “You’re probably right. When something like that happens, strange things pop into your head…things you wouldn’t normally think of.”
    “Yeah, come to think of it, wasn’t it you who said you thought he was an angel?” Susan asked gently.
    “Touche’, my friend. Point made and well taken,” Breezy replied with a smile.
    “The only difference is that you thought he was in heaven and he thought you were an earthbound angel. Sounds like a couple of angels bound for glory on ‘Some Enchanted Evening,’ if you ask me,” Susan giggled, unable to
