At times, there in heaven, the two of them would lie down together. But they did not sleep. On earth, Marguerite said, when you fell asleep, you sometimes dreamed your heaven and those dreams helped to form it. But there was no reason for such dreams now.Instead, Eddie held her shoulders and nuzzled in her hair and took long, deep breaths. At one point, he asked his wife if God knew he was here. She smiled and said, "Of course," even when Eddie admitted that some of his life he'd spent hiding from God, and the rest of the time he thought he went unnoticed.
In heaven, Eddie and Marguerite find solace in each other's presence, lying close but awake, sharing a deep emotional connection. Marguerite reflects on the nature of dreams on earth, suggesting that they shape one's perception of paradise. This connection in heaven contrasts with Eddie's previous life, where he often felt distant from God and uncertain of his presence in his life.
During their intimate moments, Eddie questions whether God is aware of his existence in heaven. Marguerite reassures him with a smile, affirming that God does know he is there. This exchange reveals Eddie's struggle with faith and recognition, highlighting the challenges he faced in life regarding his relationship with the divine. In this serene environment, Eddie begins to reconcile those feelings, finding comfort in the love that transcends even his doubts.
