"I remember everything that you told me and a big part of me believes its really you but then there's this little part that's telling me its too damn good to be true." Looks down at the ground then back up at Julia.
 
She looked up at him and this time didn't hesitate, although her movements were slow.. maybe it wasn't as bad as she thought.  She approached him and took his hands gently in hers, holding them there for a moment. 
 
She realized then that she would probably be feeling the same thing -- dead for this long and suddenly back? She looked down at their hands and then looked up at him, putting his hands together and both of hers on either side of it, making it look almost like he was praying.
 
"It's me, Nick." she told him softly, looking into his eyes and not looking away, willing him to believe it before she put his hands on her face, a stray tear falling onto one of his thumbs "I'm here.. I'm real.  I'm sorry you're hurting Nick.. you know I'd never wish that on you... but I'm not lying and I don't know how... but I'm here."
 
It was all she could say.  Let them run their tests, but she knew the results would show the same thing. 
 
She was Julia Walker.
 
She gave his hands a little squeeze, whispering for him to believe her "Please, Nick."
