“You believe her?”

It was the only question Hoyt had asked during the fifteen or twenty minutes it had taken Cade to lay the whole thing out for him. And after all, it was the only one that mattered.

“I don’t know. If you were telling me this same stuff, I would have told you no without any hesitation. But listening to her…All I can tell you is that she believes it.”

“Lord protect us from ghoulies and ghosties and things that go bump in the night. My grandmamma used to say that.”

“Did you believe her?”

“I was a kid. Hell, when I was a kid, I believed anything.”

“And now?”

“Now I’m an old man. And I ain’t half so sure of all the things I thought I knew when I was a young one.”

“You think Sarah Comstock’s ghost is trying to use Blythe Wyndham’s daughter to reveal who murdered her?”

Cade could hear the sarcasm in his question. There seemed to be only one interpretation for what Hoyt had just said, which made the comment about being sure of things when he was young feel like a slap at Cade’s disbelief.

“I think if ever a spirit had reason to be restless,” Hoyt said, “it’s that little girl’s. Maybe she thinks I let her down, although, as God is my witness, I swear I tried.”

“Then why isn’t she haunting you?”

“Same reason she ain’t haunting you. Neither one of us would ’a listened if she tried. Maybe a four-year-old would. Especially one who’s sensitive right now to loss and grief. One that’s also living in your grandmamma’s house. Maybe Sarah finally found a receptive audience.”

“You’re telling me you believe there’s something to what Blythe Wyndham claims is happening.”

“I’m telling you that I’d like to go with you when you take that little girl out to Smoke Hollow. I’d be real interested in hearing whatever she has to tell you.”
