Her beloved husband feels the shock of her silence, the tremor of the answer she is trying to give. The truth is there, choking her, waiting for him to understand

She is not here to haunt him, but to guide him, drawn back by the truth she can no longer keep to herself. In this fragile glow, she is almost visible and almost ready to speak

He knows she is slipping away, drawn back toward the place where she took her final breath. This is their last moment before the farewell, the final pause before she returns to the place that waits for her
