Naturally, she got up from bed and went to the mirror at the dresser to see if perhaps someone was there. Anyone. OK, just Kale. Really, she might scream if someone else showed up. But nothing. Yeah, she was crazy. Crazy to think she could somehow still find Kale in any motel room on the other side..that is.

So she went and took a shower. But it was a hot shower because she hated cold showers. And she stayed under the heat until it went cold. Then she started to shiver and practically shook until she could wrap a towel around her, but then she soon found herself sweating again while she was brushing her teeth. She looked up at the steamed mirror. Thinking nothing significantly was there, but when she wiped away the residue, there was Kale looking at her.

"What the fuck," But she didn't say it too loudly.

"Do you know how many motel rooms I've been to in the last week?" He shrugged.

"How am I supposed to believe that? You are in a coma." Ellie was very certain of this. She had after all held his hand.

"Maybe there, but not here," He shrugged again.

"What could be worse? The coma or being there?"

"It's not that bad." He nodded.

"Really?" She looked at him as if were a sign. "Then I'm coming back."

"I don't think so."

"But, why not?"

"Want to try?"

Of course, the mirror was not like water when she touched it.

"You better stay where you are."

"And Evan?"

"His days are numbered like the rest of us."

"He says you're the bad guy," Ellie said. "Tell me is that true?"

"Does it look like I'm gonna kill him?"

"I don't know."

"Look, you better get back to bed," Kale said.

"Don't tell me what to do," Ellie couldn't help but scowl a bit.

"Well, thank you for your consideration, it was nice chatting with you too." Kale started to walk away.

"When can I see you again," Ellie said. "Since I won't be seeing you at the hospital anytime soon."

"Don't worry, we'll keep in touch." Kale nodded. "You're still gonna move into that old woman's trailer, aren't you?"

"How'd you know that," Ellie had never told him her plan.

"I can read your mind now," Kale grinned.

"Oh, yeah, what am I thinking now?"

"That you want to fuck me," He winked, "Or maybe that's the thought I'm sending you."

"Really, you can do that?" She hadn't noticed such a thing.

"Its really kind of hard to figure it out, but I believe it to be true." He nodded.

"Mean while," Kale grinned brightly. "Sweet dreams."

Ellie wasn't sure if her hair was still wet from the shower or if it was just sweat.
