Corbin didn’t want him to suffer.
In his head, he said one thing.
“He did,” Tori answered. “I promise.”
Corbin knew what he asked. He asked if Will had put Alex in his path, and now, he had the truth.
Tori continued to speak for the man, channeling him.
“It’s why you’re attracted to him, Corby. It’s your soul recognizing the one that will complete yours. Let me go, so you can live, and I can have peace. I love you, Corbin Price. You were, and always will be my one true love. Now, go get yours.”
He watched as Will kissed his fingers, and touched Corbin’s face in the mirror. It looked like they were standing side by side, staring at each other.
“Goodbye, Will. I love you.”
The image in the mirror began backing up, and Corbin saw him disappearing into a light.
“He’s crossed,” Tori said, sounding incredibly tired. “Will has gone home.”
Elizabeth picked up the phone.
“Thanks, Tori. Go rest. Love you and Jules. Kiss the kids for me. I’ll see you soon. Oracle is calling.”
Tori laughed.
“Tell me about it. Peace out, bestie. Trey, get your ass home,” she said.
Elizabeth’s phone chirped.
“I. DON’T. GET. TO. HAVE. ANY. FUN. SHE. HAS. A. HOUSE. FULL. OF. DEAD. PEOPLE. SO. WHY. CAN’T. I. GO. TO. THE. PARTY?”
Tori sighed.
“Don’t make me call your wife, Trey.”
The phone chirped, but it went dead as the call was disconnected.
That’s when Elizabeth headed his way. She hugged him, and the weight of so much pain and guilt came out in the tears. The whole time, she just held him, patting his back.
“It’s all good, Corbin. That was a gift. You got to see him and say goodbye.”
He held on.
“I didn’t know I was holding him here.”
She soothed him.
“The dead, from what I’ve learned, are different than when they were alive. They are normally peace and goodness. I’ve talked to my father and my other family. They change, and that shows us that one day, we’ll be just like them—light and peace. Will must have really loved you a lot to hang on for all these years.”
He sniffled and sat on the side of the bed.
“He did.”
Elizabeth sat beside him and patted his leg.
“Then, you are a lucky man. Not only did you have love with a great person, but they literally found you the person you’re meant to be with. You were directed here, and now, you get another chance.”
Corbin thought about Alex.
