He was perfect.
Handsome, strong, patient, understanding.
Too bad he wasn’t real.
She’d dreamed him up.
And even though she could see him, hear him, feel him…
He wasn’t real.
But it didn’t matter.
She went to dinner with him.
She went to the movies with him.
She did everything with him.
And when she introduced him to her parents, and he got down on one knee, she said yes.
Two days later, he sat by her hospital bed, holding her hand, smiling.
