Irma wasn’t wrong. She was no longer a young woman. I don’t know how long it had been since she sang anything. But when she smiled at Martin’s spirit, and closed her eyes, and opened her mouth, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything quite that beautiful come out of anyone ever before.
As she sang a long, high note of joy and longing and reunion, and of unmistakable love, Martin smiled and closed his eyes. He tilted his face up and listened for only a moment longer before he grew so bright that I couldn’t look directly at him. And then, gradually, his light dimmed as though receding far into a distance that we couldn’t see into. By the time Irma finished her song, he was at peace.
