Jazz didn’t think anything unusual when she heard the faint sound of voices coming from the carriage house as she crossed the back lawn. Since she didn’t require sleep, Irma spent many a night watching television, and Jazz kept her well supplied with DVDs. Except… she picked up the pace and used the door at the side of the building. Two heads swiveled to face her. One was gray-haired, the other dark. It was the dark-haired one that captured her attention.

“What are you doing here?” Okay, her less than polite greeting would boot her right out of Miss Manners’ class, but she had come out here to comfort Irma, since she figured the woman was still upset over the day’s events. Considering this was pretty much the worst magickal situation Irma had ever had to deal with, Jazz felt she should come out to make sure she was all right. Except right now, she felt something that suspiciously felt like jealousy.

Nick rose from the chair he’d set next to the car’s passenger door. “I thought I would come by and see Irma. I wanted to make sure she was all right.”

Jazz shot a quick glance in Irma’s direction. When she last saw the ghost, Irma had been a weepy mess. Now, obviously thanks to Nick’s attention, she was downright perky.

“Wasn’t that nice of Nicky to stop by?” Irma chirped. Now that Jazz had cleansed vehicle and ghost, Irma’s gray curls were back in beauty shop order and her white-gloved hands rested lightly on her navy handbag. There was lingering sorrow in her blue eyes, but she looked loads better than she had a few hours earlier.

“Oh yeah, he’s a prince.” She held up a DVD, a large bucket of buttered popcorn, and a jumbo cup of Diet Coke. A box of Milk Duds was tucked in her jeans pocket. Irma couldn’t eat the junk food that went with the movie watching experience, but that didn’t stop Jazz from imbibing. “I thought you might like a movie.”

Jazz set her booty down on the nearby workbench, walked over to the television, and popped the DVD in.

“It’s probably not your style of film,” she warned Nick.

He smiled. “I’m sure I would like anything you’d choose.” He leaned back in the chair with his arms crossed across his chest, the gesture of a man prepared to stay for the duration.

She really wished she’d chosen a really good and soppy chick flick instead of a comedy. She and Nick had taken in their share of movies over the years. Judging by the expression in his dark eyes, he was recalling the old days when theaters offered nice, dark, and sometimes deserted, balconies.

Irma’s face lit up and she clapped her hands in delight as the screen lit up. “Arsenic and Old Lace!” she uttered with a soft sigh. “Cary Grant is one of my favorite actors. Harold never liked him. He always said John Wayne was the only actor worth watching.”

Jazz opened the driver’s door and slid inside.
