Miranda’s amazement and astonishment grew as the figure emerged from the shadows in front of her; the guy was tied to the voice—a clear resemblance to her late spouse. “But it cannot be. You died. Miranda shouted incredulously, “I was at your funeral.” However, when her husband’s face got closer to her, the stark reality of the situation became evident. He was there before her in person. Miranda couldn’t have predicted how this remarkable reunion and the riddles surrounding her husband’s apparent homecoming would unfold.

Miranda was taken aback by the depth of the reality behind his actions, as the web of falsehoods unraveled and the implications of her choices became clear.
