Experience

Why wouldn't this be real? "I know." Mike gave Erin a quick kiss. "I'll love you forever, Erin."

Oh, so basically bikers gloves?

"I love you too, Erin." Mike managed to reply through his tears. ... Mike found himself walking alongside his father. He was a magnificent man, though many thought crazy was a more accurate description. They were in a narrow cavern. The walls were metallic and reflected the soft yellow glow caused by lanterns placed intermittently along the path. Michael's father was taller than Mike by a few inches, though Mike was sure he'd catch up within a year. His father had always claimed he never would never see a day when he was shorter than Mike. Michael's father looked down at his son, a proud smile lighting his face. "I have been waiting for this day for a very long time, Michael." Mike looked up at his father quizzically. "What do you mean, father? What's so special about today?" "Today you wi-" No. Something isn't right. Michael's father looks to the place where Mike is. Not his past self, but where his consciousness was being projected. "Hello, Michael. I see you have come to visit me again." He smiles. "...Father?" Michael replies. "Is this... real?" "Yes, Michael. As real as the day it happened. You jus-" No. Michael shakes his head, eyes closed. I can't see this. Not again. Michael imagines a brick wall forming in between him and the rest of the scene laid out before him. The pain begins to fade. ... Michael breathed out slowly. He had returned back to reality, and...Erin was in his arms. That felt right. He glances around and saw canyon walls around them. How did we get here? He considered asking Erin, but decided against it. He simply held them in a tight embrace, enjoying the moment he had found himself in.

But aren't fingerless gloves just...arm wraps?

... How do you have fingerless gloves???

They still exist, they just aren't visible out side of PMs. The mods are planning on fixing that I believe.

Mike broke down. "I don't know. But I can't keep losing you. I've already lost you three times in one day..." His voice broke again.

"I-I can't lose you again Erin." Mike started to cry. "What if my mind is just too broken to accept it?"

"I-" Mike slowly let out a breath, trying to calm his nerves. "What if...this isn't real? What if this is just my mind coping with losing you?"

"Yeah. That was in a dream. Somehow." Tears tried to escape once more but Mike pushed them away.

"I-I thought I'd lost you." Mike whispers, his voice breaking.

Not this again. Mike mentally rolled his eyes "No Erin. It's because I healed you. The demon was able to control you because I trapped it inside. It's my fault, not yours."

"Almost." Mike chuckled. "I still don't know how you're back."

"I'm still not quite sure. There was some sort of demon that possessed you. It's gone now." Mike stooped down and quickly kissed Erin on the forehead. "I'm just....I'm relieved you're okay."

Mike laughed, pure relief heard in his voice. "You're okay." He sounded like he didn't quite believe it.

Personal Messages have started to be marked as read without me clicking on them, and so I don't get the notif and I miss the message. I am not the only one this has happened to. (I'm currently on mobile with chrome).

Tears sprang into Mike's eyes, though a hopeful smile appeared on his face. He found it hard to breath. "I- Erin? Are you really there?"

Mike didn't stop this time. "You didn't leave me Erin. I'm right here."

Mike shook his head. I'm just making things up now. He once again began to heal away the magical energy.
