It was their last day in Chicago. They were done with their appointments and they had to go back to New York, in the evening. They had just finished their last business appointment; they were free until they catch their plane in the evening. They were at the restaurant.


- Our afternoon is free, said Terry


- I wanted to take a walk in Chicago's street


- You want some company? Asked Terry


- You don't want to rest in the suite before we leave?


- All alone? I'm going to be bored...I'm coming with you


- All right she said smiling


They walked in the streets of Chicago and Candy had a feeling of knowing the city. They arrived in front of a theatre and Candy felt a little dizzy and Terry too.


Terry saw himself on stage playing the king of France in "King Lear" and Candy saw herself watching the play from the third class row. They looked at each other intensely.


- Are you ok, Candice-Blanche? Asked Terry


- I'm fine, she said with a little voice, about you?


- I'm fine... the theatre...


- You're remembering that you gave up your dream of becoming an actor?


- Yes, said Terry knowing that wasn't the reason of his dizziness


- Well, you should take some days off and go on stage, just for fun...


- That's was my mother says ...


- She's right, it's relaxing to do what you love


- I'm going to seriously think about it


- I would like to see you on stage, said Candy, who had images of Terry on stage: as the King of France and as Romeo...


"I've seen you on stage... Oh my God! Would it really be possible that I had a former life with Terrence?" She asked herself


Terry on his part saw himself as the King of France in "King Lear"... he felt good on stage. The dream was so beautiful...


- Terry, one of the employee found this handkerchief on the third class row, said Susanna's voice, it's got you initials on it


Terry took the handkerchief and he recognise the handkerchief he used to put on Candy's scratch in Scotland
