Ever thought, and, in his own moment, he hoped it would be a lifetime. Outside, the osprey’s whistled notes could just be heard, but only recognised by Ever. The welcome was just beginning.

‘Water, Dada? Please? Carry me. Now.’

Clarissa, Jacob and Ever in the same room; but all in a different place.

Chapter Thirty-six

The epilogue or the afterword.

*

The pale blue hand finally has reason for Ever.

It has become an understandable reality to Ever after all these years.

While he sleeps, the pale blue hand, now welcomed, comes to guide his astral body, shrouding the soul, into a higher realm.

There on the astral plane, Ever and Lomita come together in a non-corporeal world where time and space are of no consequence, in endless process.

Lomita, a true ethereal beauty, united with Ever through the depth of their love, his soul now filled with contentment.

In death there is no judgement.

At last he has become a soulful human being.

Ever’s journey through life will always hold confusion.

But now, at least, he is not alone, his soul travels with him.

*

The final word.

*

John Everett Millen’s paintings, The Wave and The People on a Bright Day, sold at Christie’s for $450,000 and $500,000 respectively.

Ever’s father’s work was finally celebrated. The money was put into Jacob’s bank account.

Minus twenty per cent, of course, transportation fees and a little bit of commission for Señor Gonzales.

There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever, in any way shape or form like any other, there is nothing like some fame.

There is nothing you can name that is anything like some fame.
