Joshua drove the three of them back to the old Bickham place. It looked like a typical haunted house tonight, its paint dull and peeling, the porch slightly sagging in the middle, the lawn unkept. The only hint of color came from the vivid foliage of the trees beyond the back lawn, and already those leaves were starting to fall. Patches of brown were tiny scars on a rapidly fading masterpiece.

The porch light was on. The rest of the house was dark.

Beth sighed. "It's good to be home." Then she shook her head slowly from side to side. "Hell, I lived in the cottage for a year and never thought of it as home. That's odd, isn't it?"

Josh nodded. "Maude's house is like that."

"Yeah. She said it had a soul."

He nodded, and she opened her door to get out of the car. He got out, as well, and the three of them walked to the porch, up the steps to the door.

"I'm going straight to bed," Beth told him as he unlocked the place, and turned on the lights.

Josh said, "I know you've been through hell today, Beth, but I need to talk to you about something. Can you stay awake a few more minutes?"

"Sure."

"I'm heading up to my room," Bryan said. "Good night."

"Night, Bry. Call if you need us," Beth told him.

He nodded at her and hurried up the stairs.
