The sun had just set and the street lamps were starting to flicker on when she saw him. He smiled at her, and she felt an instant connection, as if they had known each other for years. She didn't know anything about him, but she felt like she had to find out more.
He asked her to dinner, and she accepted. They talked for hours about life, love, and the afterlife. She felt like she could tell him anything, and he seemed to understand her in a way that no one else ever had.
The night ended, and they said their goodbyes. She wanted to see him again, but he said he had to go. As he walked away, she felt a strange sense of loss, as if she had already said goodbye to a part of her life that she would never get back.
The next day, she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Later that evening, she went for a walk and found herself standing in front of the same street corner where they had met.
She looked around, and finally saw him. He was standing there, in the same spot he had been the night before. She couldn't believe her eyes.
He waved at her and she walked over to him. "What are you doing here?" she asked. He just smiled and said, "I'm here to stay."
They talked for hours, and she soon realized that he wasn't like other people. He was a ghost, and he had been searching for someone to share his eternity with.
She felt a strange feeling of peace, like she had been given a second chance at life. She knew in her heart that she wanted to spend her eternity with him, and he felt the same way.
The two of them walked hand in hand into the night, and they never looked back. They were together forever, in a love that transcended death.
