J M Smith

Prelude J M Smith

What happens when what was dead, lives again--when what was lost forever...comes back?Annie was shattered by the loss of her dark angel, Erik--and even though Giles fought valiantly to put her pieces back together, she was never quite whole. But still--she existed. She tried to move on with her life, allowing bright sunlight to envelop her and warm her frozen heart. And even though she knew she would never again be as alive as she had been when she was with Erik, she would survive, none-the-less. In fact, even in her diminished state, she found that life offered more joy than sadness, and more hope than regret. And then the shadows in Box 5 shifted. And the curtain fell once more on her world of light. So what happens when an impossible dream comes true and keeping one promise means breaking another? What happens when one is forced to choose between light and darkness, loving one, but knowing it would be unthinkable to live without the other?
