Abigail's Reawakening J A Melville

This is the conclusion to Abigail's Angel. It is important that it not be read until you've read Abigail's Angel first.

Abigail
It was two years since the event.
When an angel had come to save me.
Not all angels have wings.
Some were school teachers. . .
Like Drew.
In those two years we'd stayed in contact via email.
Jackson Primary needed a new school counsellor.
And that was me.
I wanted to surprise him because Drew didn't know.
What I hadn't counted on, was my reaction to him.

Drew
Jackson Primary was getting a new school counsellor.
I couldn't believe it. It was her. Abigail.
Two years on and the haunted look was gone.
She looked healthy. Happy. So beautiful.
I wanted to be there to protect her.
To slay those dragons for her.
But she was so much stronger now.
The line between protecting her and smothering her, was a fine one.
I had to be careful I didn't cross it.
Abigail deserved to fly free and live her life.
I just wanted to be there to catch her if she fell.
