Chapter Fourteen

One Week Later

I was getting really sick of nightmares.

No matter how many potions I prepped before bed, meditations I attempted, or prayers I said aloud, the nightmares still came. Not every night, but with enough frequency that I was dragging badly during the day and remaining wakeful at night, dreading the moment when I’d have to close my eyes. Finn was beginning to notice the purple splotches under my eyes after so many nights of restless sleep.

At least he was happy, though.

The sweep of the house Marty, RJ and Henner had done revealed no other spirits in the vicinity. I’d even managed to smuggle the tampon box out of the bathroom during the search of the upper levels. I wasn’t sure if the box would set off the equipment or not.

I had to make Marty promise he wouldn’t help Finn find Darla’s pencil box (though I didn’t tell him that was the object she’d attached herself to) because I was fairly convinced Finn would ask him to do just that. At least, until I could convince Finn that Darla really was just harmless and there was no way she could bring Frank back.

I wasn’t sure if it was owing to the fact that Finn was new in town, without a dad or father figure, or that he was still worried about whether there could be ghosts in the house, but Marty, Henner and RJ had sort of taken him under their proverbial wings. There were many days when one or all three of them would come over to keep Finn company after school, if they didn’t have a ghost-hunting gig, that is.

Marty had happily offered to pick Finn up from school on more than one occasion, which Finn loved because the kids had all sorts of questions about Marty’s hearse. Then the two of them would play video games until it was dinner time, at which point I would make dinner for all three of us.

Henner, meanwhile, had drawn up a schematic worthy of MacGyver, vowing to create the ultimate drone for Finn, who was only too excited to help. RJ had even mentioned taking Finn camping in order to spot Big Foot, who supposedly lurked in the woods surrounding Haven Hollow. Like me, Finn seemed to think RJ’s obsession with Sasquatch was hilarious, but it didn’t stop him from keeping RJ company during his Big Foot expeditions.

So, yes, I was beyond grateful to the three men in our life for taking such an active interest in my son and, really, being the father figures he didn’t have. Of course, they were more like friends than father figures, each one completely boyish in his own way.
