It had been only three months since she buried her husband, yet it seemed like only moments since they lowered the coffin into the ground. How she missed him. She missed his smell, his touch. But most of all, she missed making love to him. She missed the hungry look in his eyes when he came to her... feel of him thrusting inside her... the way his tongue entwined with hers.
As she lay in the bed they shared, tossing and turning trying to sleep, a noise made her sit up. At first she thought she was dreaming, but as her eyes adjusted to the light, she saw that there was indeed the figure of a man sitting in the chair across from her bed.
Strangling a scream she jumped out of bed and prepared to run, when a familiar voice spoke up, "Don't be afraid, it's me."
Looking again her eyes got wide, and she saw that it was the love of her life.
"How," she started but he rose and walked to her. Placing his finger to her lip, he then kissed her gently. Her thoughts were going crazy. How could this be? He had died in her arms, she watched them lower him into the ground, but yet there he was, and he was as real as she was.
"I only have this one night my love," he said. "Please, let's make the most of it."
