CHAPTER FOURTEEN

AHNOU

To my delight, Mrs. Mabon grabs Fern’s ex by his arm and scolds him all the way back to her car.

He whines and gestures to the house, and I can’t help the smug grin that stretches my face when Fern’s mother all but shoves him into the front seat before speeding off.

Not five minutes later, my favorite redhead appears. Fern parks and gets out as I open the front door.

“Where’s your car?”

“I left it at Francine’s sister’s house that I’m renting and walked. It’s such a nice day, and I love the fall leaves. It’s probably why Chet just waltzed right in.”

“Ugh! I still can’t believe my mother gave him a key, but I’m not surprised.”

“She was just here. She picked up your ex and left.”

“Mom must be making her rounds today. She was also just at the café. I told Seraphina the truth about her not doing my taxes. She’s pretty ticked at me.”

“Your friend?”

“Oh, no, I meant my mom. I told Sera something my mom made me swear to never tell anyone.”

“Did you feel better after telling your friend?”

“Yeah, I did. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. And Sera shared her own secret—she’s a Seraphim.”

“Interesting. I’ve never met one before, only Teraphim. He’s a good friend of mine. We both have dealings in…death.

Listen, I’ve boxed all your tax records. If you’re ok with it, I would like to take everything back to Mrs. Hubble’s house.”

“That’s fine. I’ll help you.”

Together, we pack up her trunk, neither of us mentioning the conversation that nearly made me explode in my pants.

She drives down the street and turns into the driveway just as Francine is walking over. “Hello, Fern! Don’t you look adorable! Isn’t she the cutest?”

“She’s the most stunning woman I’ve ever seen,” I admit, and Francine beams.

“So this is the lucky lady. Well, no one deserves love more than our Fern.”

The woman in question pinkens, and I’m surprised her skin isn’t stained red permanently for as often as she blushes.

“I’m just helping Ahnou with something. I didn’t know he was staying here, but I’ll whip up a batch of snickerdoodles with cream cheese frosting the first chance I get for you!”

“You’re an angel. You two deserve one another. I’ll let you be, but Mr. Napa, please tell Denine to cut the crap or else.”

I chuckle. “And if she asks, ‘or else what’?”

“Then tell her I’m calling a priest!”

It’s a bluff, but I nod solemnly. “Of course. Enjoy your evening, Francine.”

As she hobbles off, Fern leans in. “What is she talking about?”

“Oh, her sister’s ghost haunts this house, but sometimes Denine goes next door and messes with Francine.

Nothing too bad. Denine just flickers the lights and changes the channels on Francine’s TV.”

Fern giggles. “Even in death, those two can’t be separated.”

“Apparently not. Let’s get these boxes inside. I’ve scanned most of the documents, but I would like to get everything saved and uploaded online.”

“Ok.”

She opens her trunk, and we take the boxes inside where Denine floats in the foyer.
