Teachings of angels

One day, a boy lost in the world made a phone call to a girl because the moon told him to. The girl that he called must have been shocked by this oddity. Little did she know how shocked he would be to see her face to face shortly there after. The call had been a strange occurrence, a month earlier the boy was a different person, he had a nice home, two sloppy black dogs, a few cars he shared and a woman who he had called a wife for nearly two years. That life was gone now, a legal action that is far too common in our society claimed his marriage, the cost of settling for the wrong girl. But, what a fool he had been! Years ago the girl he was now calling had been right there wanting to be his angel!

For the moment he didn't want to tell her who it was, just for that fear. But, as the messages followed, it appeared her curiosity had the best of the situation and he was excited about them meeting again. They arranged a casual situation to see each other.
The night he came to see her it was a chilly July night, which was odd and that much more uncomfortable. Her beauty broke the ice and there was something she would never know, how instantaneously when he looked at her, he felt the breath pulled from his lungs and a lump in his chest. She was beautiful, long sandy hair, that matched her light brown eyes, her face shined like an angel and he felt warm when she smiled. They sat and talked for hours, catching up on life and the
