What? (George)
One second he was talking to George and trying to comfort her about his own death, and the next he's in his own apartment, staring at the ceiling of his bedroom, as alive as he'd ever remembered being.

He could actually feel his own heart beating hard enough that it might have broken out of his chest at any moment.

Through the strangeness of it all, he couldn't help but feel concern for how George might be taking this. She had been worried that he was going to move on, and his sudden disappearance must have looked like just that.

Dexter fumbled on his bedside table without looking at it, finding his phone and dialing George.

He listened to it ring.

George sat in the middle of her room, her eyes exhausted and red. Her initial response when she heard the phone ring was to stare at it until it stopped. They were all gone. Not moved on. Just gone.

The phone continued to ring. George reached out for the phone which fell from the receiver, not quite making it to the ground where it dangled from a chord instead. The reaper stared at it for a good five seconds before reaching for it. It hadn't crossed her mind who might call her.

"What?"

	"That's a lovely way to answer your phone." Dexter joked. He really didn't expect anything else from George. She wasn't what he would have classified as a particularly social kind of person. She was a sweetheart once you broke through her shell, but it wasn't easy. "Are you doing alright?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"JESUS FUCK. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE. MOTHER FUCKER." George paused. Just not for very long. "You're not trapped in my phone line or something weird like are you? Fuck! You could have warned me. You just disappeared on me. I mean, don't fucking do that ever! At least say something!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dexter held his phone away from his ear while she yelled. He even waited a couple of beats to make sure she wasn't still doing it, and got back in time to hear her talking again.

"No, not trapped in your phone line. At my apartment. And quite alive from what I can feel. I do remember being dead though."

He felt his chest for his heartbeat to confirm.

"Yep. Alive."

	George paused. On one hand it was real tempted to go back to a stream of yelling and curse worse about how fucked the whole situation was. Instead: "Are you okay?" The reaper sounded genuinely concerned. She was close to leaving the apartment and just heading over to his place. Just to make sure this wasn't some sort of sick joke. Or maybe just to get a hug.

	Dexter opened his door with a very confused face. He looked at George. "What, were you just standing there already?" She'd gotten there a little too quickly. But he stepped aside and let her into the apartment, not quite sure why she'd wanted to come over. Maybe she'd just wanted to make sure he was alive. "Something to drink?"

	There was a beer in his hand, and then there was a knife against his skin. Instinct tried to kick in, Dex's muscles tensed to whip her around into a headlock. In his day to day life, it was only people he was trying to kill that did things like pull knives on him. He stopped himself, and stared at his arm where the cut was. "What the hell, George?"

	"I had to make sure you weren't like me!" George's petulance faded and left a frowning girl in its place. The expression was nearly identical to the picture in her obituary. George had always hated pictures. "You were dead and then all of a sudden not! That shit doesn't happen. I'm glad you're alive but ... I didn't want you to be stuck here either."
