Chapter 14

We’d been planning the small Halloween party at the library since I’d taken the job a month ago. I’d decided to go with a vintage Halloween theme. That way everyone could dress up in any costume that they wanted. I had just set out cupcakes and cookies. Tammy was setting up the drink station. We’d decorated the library with pumpkins, paper ghosts, skeletons, and witches. Annie thought she made a great addition to the decor. I thought so too, but it was too bad that no one could see her but me. Maybe that was a good thing though. I wanted people to stay for the party, not run away scared.

I hung the last skeleton at the end of the reference desk. Tammy walked up. “I’m all finished over there. It looks like we are ready.”

I placed my hands on my hips and scanned the area. “I think we did a great job. I hope everyone loves it.”

The head of the library hadn’t been keen on the idea of a Halloween party. She’d thought it was too macabre after the recent murder that had happened in the library. I agreed that the murder was tragic, but we were trying to get people to come back.

I’d dressed up as Annie. Though I didn’t think anyone would know who I was supposed to be. Annie seemed to get a kick out of it though. I had on a long white dress and I’d used white makeup to make my skin appear ghostly. I’d used white hair color spray to make my hair all white. My lipstick was white too.

“You look scary. Maybe you should do your tour like this tonight,” Tammy said.

I giggled. “That would probably scare all the tourgoers away forever.”

Tammy had dressed as Jane Austen. Not the author, but the cat. She had on black leggings, a black turtleneck, and black shoes. On her head she wore a black headband with little black ears attached to the top. She’d painted her face with whiskers and a cute little pink nose. She looked adorable.

Brannon was supposed to come to the party too. I’d asked what he was going to wear, but he said it was a surprise. That probably meant that he wouldn’t dress up in a costume at all.

I couldn’t wait to see everyone’s costumes. I just hoped that Tammy and I weren’t the only ones wearing them. I rearranged the cupcakes on the tray again. I was anxious for the guests to arrive and needed something to distract me.

“Maybe we should have skipped the cupcakes?” Tammy said with a frown.

I peered down at the cupcakes and had a flashback of the recent tragedy at the library. “Hmm. You’re probably right. Maybe we should get rid of them.”

Tammy waved her hands. “I love cupcakes, but I’m not eating all of them.”

The library door opened and a group of people wearing costumes headed our way.

“Too late now,” I said.

Tammy and I hurried over to them. They were dressed as everything from a skeleton to a witch.
