JARED BARELY HAD TIME TO SET up the search on Lucas Olsen before Mel tapped him to leave.

“What?” Jared found he was grouchy. He had no doubt it was due to nerves over Harper, but he had no way of tamping down his agitation, so he didn’t even bother trying.

“You’re in a lovely mood, huh?” Mel gave his partner a once-over. “What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.”

“Right. You’re always this grumpy lately. Oh, wait, you’re not. No, you’re the guy who has little hearts floating over his head because he’s so in love with a certain blonde.”

Jared’s lips curved into a reluctant smile. “I am in love with her.”

“So, I ask again, what’s wrong?”

“She just didn’t sleep well. She had a nightmare.”

Mel waited for him to expand. When he didn’t, an exasperated sigh escaped the older detective’s lips. “You’re going to have to get it together. I mean ... seriously. You’re getting married. If you let the fact that your significant other doesn’t get a full night’s sleep affect you, you’re going to be a sad individual moving forward.”

“Are you saying you’re fine if your wife has a bad night?”

“I don’t even notice.”

“Well, that’s not the type of husband I want to be. Besides, it wasn’t a normal bad dream. It was more ... in-depth.”

Mel arched an eyebrow. “I’m probably going to be afraid I asked, but do you want to expand on that?”

Jared shrugged, noncommittal. When he first joined the department, Mel was the one who insisted he give Harper’s abilities a chance. When he first stumbled across a woman poking her nose into his case, a beautiful siren who claimed she could talk to ghosts and had insight from beyond the grave, he thought there was a legitimate chance she was a kook. Mel argued otherwise, which made him question his new partner.

Within a few days, though, he began to realize that Harper was the real deal. Beneath that sunny flaxen hair and those big blue eyes, she was special ... and he was a goner from that moment on. Despite all that, Mel was still antsy when the topic of Harper’s abilities sprouted up. He didn’t like talking about it. Jared had come to the conclusion that it was his Catholic upbringing, but he didn’t care enough to delve deep. Instead, he told him about the dream. When he was finished, Mel looked genuinely perplexed.

“I don’t recognize that name,” he said. “I think I would remember that story, too, even if it were older.”

“I don’t think he’s an old ghost. Harper said he was wearing a hoodie. I just ... she’s bothered by it, and if this guy is coming into our bedroom — a place she should be safe — I want to come up with some answers. It will be better for the both of us over the long haul.”

“I can’t disagree with you there.” Mel rolled his neck. “Well, have you run a search?”

“I just started it. Then you interrupted me. What do you have?”

“Artie Fletcher called.
