This is not a cogent tale.  In deecription it states this is a short to get rid of someone so that Elizabeth can go on with her life unencumbered with Devlin near.  Then, stating one always ends up where they belong.  Well, not really then - not if one character has to be rid of for the other to be with another.  It felt like the author had the attachment to Devlin, not Elizabeth.  Which allowed more sense to tale overall than the thoughts within.Devlin's monologues were confusing at best in trying to convey the process to Elizabeth.  He never succeeded fully and her decision was not made in full knowledge - even though it brought resolution for her.  Though the resolution was a dissatisfacory conclusion overall.  For, it is unclear he fulfilled his wish.  And, rebirth would not disencumber the soul mate factor (of reincarnation) - rather it merely sets up a new generation of life of searching for missing piece.  Many believing in reincarnatiin will be dissatisfied with the solution given here as sever as the souls are what is connected and reincarnated - not the bodies.  I realize Devlin is a ghost and is found in a dream - however, that connect is as strong as merely feeling a presence (unseen) around a person.I cannot say whether Elizabeth's story outside this short finds resolution or not as I have not read the full the author alludes to.  However, this short is a confusing and implausible resolution to author quandary of Devlin character as it stands for this piece she calls a stand alone.There were a number of errors that should not be found in a piece this short.  It should be scrubbed free of punctuation and grammar errors.Christine
