opened my door and grabbed my hand, and that was all it took.
     
    We sat still with our hands together, looking upon the ocean. I didn’t want to be anywhere except here. I loved being with him. He made me feel young and adored. Even after all these years of marriage. Everyday felt like the first.
    “Elsi e, I think we need to have kids,” he said out of nowhere.
    “Adam , I do believe we talked about this already. I do not want to have kids now. It’s too late in life for us.” He looked disappointed. We were in our forties so how would we be good parents? I knew lots of women who did it, but for me it wasn’t in the cards. I was pushing 45. It was too late. I found him too late in life.
    “We could adopt, right?” he asked.
    “No, Adam. I don’t want them. I want it just to be you and me. Kids are not in the cards for us, I am sorry.” He dropped my hands and left me standing on the balcony by myself.
     
    Wow. It was the first vision I’d had with Landon for a very long time. And it wasn’t a very pleasant one at that. He dropped my hand and turned away from me just like in my vision. I found that odd.
    “Wait up,” I called to him.
    “Come on, slow poke. I am starved,” he called back. I wobbled slightly, still stuck within the memory of our past. He seemed completely unfazed by what I had seen, which assured me he hadn’t seen it. I followed him inside the Denny’s and wondered why I was here at all. I had a hard enough time letting go of my past with him, now I was reliving it. We sat at a booth in the back of the restaurant and Landon ordered two coffees for us.
    “So how was work?” he asked nonchalantly, as if our being together was no big deal.
    “Why are we here? I mean , why are we here together?” I kept my coat on and grabbed my purse, ready to bolt.
    “Why not?” he asked. “I don’t see a problem since we are friends, right?”
    There was that word again. I didn’t think we were. I only dated his cousin and that didn’t make me a friend.
    “I’m tired , Landon. I’m gonna go.” I stood up and he reached out for me. I instantly shrugged away, not wanting another vision.
    “Please stay, I need relationship advice,” he begged.
    “You need my advice?” I was in awe. How the heck was I going to do this? I sat back down and took off my coat , telling myself the whole time that there was nothing strange about this.
    “Okay, let’s hear it.”
    “Well, you know that I have been dating on and off.” I nodded. I knew all about his revolving door of girlfriends. Basically he was telling me he was a man-whore. Maybe he just needed me to make him feel better about what he was doing.
    “I don’t think you call that dating,” I told him.
    “Oh no, well what is it then?”
    I rolled my eyes at him as he laughed. “Playing the field, Landon.”
    He stopped laughing and sipped his coffee. “That’s the thing. I’m not looking to play any fields or anything like that. I want to settle down.”
    My heart fell. It pained me to hear this from him. It was hard to watch him date, but hearing this killed me. I had to try to shake it. These were not real feelings that I had for him. That is what I had to tell myself every time I longed for him. I merely longed for his soul and the old him. My soul knew him so well, that was all it was. Nothing more.
    “So are you saying none of the girls you’ve met are the one for you?” I took a large drink and set the cup down , all without looking at him in the eye.
    “No. Honestly , they aren’t my type at all. I mean, they are hot but that’s it. There’s no substance to them you know?” I nodded, understanding completely. “I want what you and Dallas have. You know, a relationship that actually involves two people who love each other. Right now I can’t have that with them.”
    It was like a dagger in my heart. I had to endure this among visions of us together. I had to try to hold it together.
    “My advice is to keep looking and not
