Summary: It was suppose to be the biggest day of her life and with one kiss it was over. Her relationship, her hopes, her dreams... her life.

In heaven she meets another who believes she is meant for a different path. Will she see and believe in what he has to show her, or will it be too late. 

Dying to Love You

Ignatius wrung his hands with worry.

"I have faith in you, Iggy. Just remember what we spoke about and you'll do just fine," Michael the Archangel said.

It was a big day. Today he may finally earn his wings. Which would be a mighty fine thing to have happen as it's been nearly 100 years since he was made a Guardian and the other angels were beginning to talk.

Today was a big day for his charge, Emma, as well. What a joy it has been watching over her. She has such a kind and loving heart. She made his job a piece of cake. Which was good because he did not have the best track record. In fact, he may just be one of the worst Guardian Angels ever, but Iggy refused to focus on that, for today was about Emma.

She had an important choice to make. One path would lead her to her heart's truest desire, to be loved, but another path meant a life of misery and disappointment. He just had to help her make the right choice, for Emma's sake.

"Please help me, help her," Ignatius, silently prayed.

Emma felt so excited for today was her 8th anniversary with Glenn. Normally she would have to remind him of this, but today he called her from work to tell her he had a big surprise for tonight.

She talked this revelation over with her girlfriends and they all seemed to agree.

Maybe, just maybe... he was going to ask her to marry him.

She dreamed of this moment for eight long years. Her friends all believed she should have given up long ago but she loved Glenn with all her heart.

So, tonight she dressed with extreme care. Putting on her sexiest black dress and matching heels. She fixed her hair to be in soft waves about her face, and with one last look in the mirror she felt satisfied. Tonight would be a night to remember.

"Hey, Baby! You home?"

Upon hearing his voice she nearly ran down the stairs but purposely slowed down so she could make a more dramatic entrance.

"Wow! You're looking hot!"

"Thank you!" she said, shying under his intense gaze.

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. She reveled in that kiss. He looked at her and smiled. "So, where are you going all gussied up?"

Emma blinked, then stammered, "Well, I thought... I mean... um... you said something about a surprise?"

"Oh, that!" he said releasing her and shrugging out of his coat. "I scored tickets to...get this... tonight's Dallas Game. Box seats for me and the boys. Got them half price from my boss, who couldn't go. Can you believe it?"

"No," Emma said. "No, I really can't."

* Iggy stood by her side and rested a hand on her shoulder even though he knew she couldn't feel he was there.*

There was something in her tone of voice. Glenn looked at her, confused. "What's wrong, babe? If it's about the money, don't worry. I'll work overtime this weekend. It's no big deal."
