Daniel tried not to cry when she reached over for his hand. He swallowed back his tears. "Thank you. It's okay. They are all in a better place." He went back to reading the text, then closed it when he was finished. "It's been a long time since I have touched something this ancient." He smiled warmly at her.
"I don't really remember any of it. I woke up nude in a village of alien people. They took me in. And, then my own people came to find me and told me what happened. I apparently could travel in a light and I appeared to them many times. But, first I had to die. I do remember that experience. I don't wish to go through something as painful again."
"That's good, because you shouldn't. But, I am slightly jealous of you because you have lived through it all." Daniel finished and looked over at her.
There was a moment of silence as he took in her beauty. She was simply stunning. He wondered if she knew how beautiful she was. He caught his breath, and licked his lips nervously. "Sorry. I didn't mean to stare. You are just so beautiful, Diana." Daniel finally admitted.
