Setting: present time; Wolowitzs house...

"So have ya thought bout it?" Bay's voice comes scaring Howard

"..." he glares at the ghost as he pants for breath, "you almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Well?" She asks him flatly

"She still lives in California?" He asks her

"Not too far from ya actually," Bay tells him, "however," she continues, "as part of the supernatural," she tells him, "I ain't supposed ta metal in affairs of the livin..." she says straight faced and stays that way for a few seconds before cracking up, "Yea right!" She laughs, "like I actually give a rat's ass bout the rules of the afterlife."

"They have rules in the afterlife?" He asks in disbelief

"Not everywhere," she admits, "but in my neck of the woods-yea."

"How big is the afterworld exactly?" He asks her

"Y'all ain't need ta worry bout that," she tells him, "ain't yer time yet."

"How did her family die again?" He asks her

"Car crash," she states flats out

"Sorry," he states awkwardly due to knowing how she 'died'

"Ferget it," she tells him, "like I said before, she a nice, sweet girl with backbone, no nonsense," she goes on, "blond hair, brown eyes. She's a Christian like Burn-Odette was, works with a number of charities."

"I-suppose-I could..." he says awkwardly again, "meet her at least."

"Great," Bay tells him as a smirk plays on her face, "ere's er address," she says handing him a place of paper with the information, "fer one of er charities I mean," she corrects herself, "would creepy if y'all just showed up at er house," she laughs, "if ya show up ta some of er events, a few awkward conversations and dates, then it should all go perfectly."

"And the rest of her family?" He asks her

"Father ran off, mother started datin round..." she sums up, "while er and er sister kind slipped through the cracks-went down couple of wrong paths," she finishes up, "but eventually managed ta find the light-or whatever-"

"Aren't you Baptist?" He asks her

"I was raised baptist," she corrects him, "don't mean my siblins and I chose ta stay in that faith," she tells him, "Shelly and Georgie went atheist, Missy I ain't gotta clue what path she went down," she admits, "while I, I opened myself up ta the possibilities of-well, everythin..." she stares off lost in thought for a moment, "after the coma, meetin all of y'all and with the fame n all," she sighs out, "I did some world travels ere n there, gotta participant in and experience various religions and cultures."

"Not many people get to say that," he admits, "sounds amazing."

"Oh it was," she sighs out again, "life changin-eye openin really."

"..." he goes quiet as he eyes the floor

"Just be yerself," she tells him, "and things will eventually just-fall inta place."

"..." he looks down at the address

"Who says y'all can't ave more than one soulmate?" She tells him, "first marry fer love, then money, and lastly fer comfort-Jackie Kennedy."
