'Lets play a game'

Stephanie says

We are both home alone.  Its halloween.  Both Bria and Anna along with Jensen are with friends.  We are sitting together in a comfortable chair for one.  

'Ok what are we playing'    I ask

Stephanie is holding two pieces of paper and a pencil


'We will both write on these piece's of paper.  We will guess where the cancer is in my body.  It can't include where they have already found it.   We won't show each other our answers until after the PET scan'

She wants to put each paper in a envolope and seal it.  

'Once we find out we will open the envelopes and see who win's'    She says

In my mind 'I am stunned'  not revealing  my emotions (I feel like crying and I don't want her to know)

Working hard to control my voice I tell her I can't play.  

We sit in the chair made for one,  and hold each other.  All the while the doorbell keeps ringing

'trick or treat'

Stephanie wants to hand out the candy.  I stay in the chair.  As I watch her,  I tell myself how lucky I am.  She is so beautiful.  With a big fake spider in her hair she is laughing and giggling as the kids come to the door.
