I watched as Evangeline's eyes grew wide.
"Oh my God!"
She turned to me.
"She is real."
.
I nodded, pouring myself a drink.
"Meet my daughter, Eva."
.
Whisper was now fully visible to Evangeline. She was wearing a long white dress, with stylish shoes. Her hair was over one ear and held in place with a headband.
.
She looked down at herself and then at me. "I love the dress Daddy."
She spun around in front of Evangeline.
.
Evangeline looked at me. I passed her a drink.
"She is amazing."
She sat back on the couch. Her eyes were wide.
"I don't believe this. There is a ghost standing in front of me."
.
"You aren't going to faint again, are you?" I asked her.
.
Evangeline drank her scotch and passed me the glass, shaking her head.
"I can't guarantee anything, at this point."
.
I took the glass, but did not refill it. I knew she would not need it now.
I sipped my drink and watched her.
.
Slowly, she leaned forward and just as slowly, she put her hand to Whispers face.
"I can feel her. At least, I can feel something."
.
"Then you are very lucky. There are only a few that have been even able to see Whisper, let alone ..."
I searched for the right words.
"Let alone, experience her."
.
Evangeline looked at me. "She is so beautiful."
.
Whisper put her hand on Evangeline's face and gently turned it toward her.
"Talk to me Evangeline. I can see you and I can hear you."
.
"You are so beautiful," Evangeline said, putting her hand back to Whisper's face.
The light on Whisper's face got brighter.
"Is she blushing?"
.
I nodded. "I believe she is."
.
Whisper shook her head.
"Its just a little warm in here, Daddy, that's all."
.
I laughed.
"You don't feel the heat or cold, little lady."
.
She simply smiled and looked at Evangeline.
.
"You are such a beautiful young woman. No wonder Will is in love with you."
