Later that evening, I headed out to my favorite haunt, Look Out Park.
I often came here for some down time from my crazy life.
Being an Officer in the Department of Paranormal meant coming in touch with the darkest side of life, witnessing how crude beings, human and otherwise can be to each other. Glarn Curious did my sister and I a huge favor by walking out of our lives.
One of my first cases was a birth father who actually killed his alien baby right after it was born. His reasons? The baby was demon and needed to die.
"All such creatures should die!" He spit in my face. From the hatred in his eyes, I knew he would kill me if given the case.
At least Glarn left us with a loving woman who lived us as if Chloe and I were very own daughters.
Though it was a warm June evening, I suddenly felt chilled.
And alone.
Yes, I was afraid of being left alone, of being abandon as my fathers had done. Rejected because of the colour of my skin, because of the alien blood that flowed through my veins.
"But who says every man will reject you, Lola. Your quite unfair. Not every man is Glarn Curious."
True. Elanna and Mingha were both very happy with their husbands and children, I loved watching Elanna and her husband Yoel together; all almost twelve years of marriage, still so very much in love.

My step-mother shut herself from the world after Glarn died. Not bitter or angry, just sad. How would have it been if she had also remarried and maybe even have children with a new husband?
I guess will never know.
But at that moment I decided I didn't wish to grow old and alone. I wanted my day dreams as well as the dreams I was having at night to be true. I wanted to share my life with another.
With the man I was dreaming of.
It was then that I saw him. Just a few feet away from me, laying upon his back, glazing into the night sky.

I couldn't believe it! There he was, in flesh and blood.
I took a step.....
And he was gone.
