Chapter 21

Grace and Archie found themselves in the reception area of the hotel. Grace studied the scene in front of her. She said to Archie, “I think we’ve gone back to your wedding day. Look, I can see you coming through the main doors.”

Archie grimaced. “Well, this is the weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced. Can we talk to anyone? Can we touch anyone? Are you sure they can’t see us? I feel like I could reach out and touch Sylvia on the elbow.”

Grace shook her head. “It’s like we’ve stepped into a TV show. We can see and hear everything, but they can’t see us. Watch out!”

Archie flinched as the wedding day version of himself walked through his body.

Ghost Archie said, “What are we doing here? Why are we in this vision?” He looked around. “Is there some clue that we’ve missed? Was there a person at the wedding that we forgot about?”

Grace pressed her lips together and frowned. She took a step back and watched the activity around her. Wedding Archie was chatting away to the maids, asking them to take presents in to the ballroom. Grace could see the admiration in their eyes. Beth was amongst the maids, she was almost salivating as she gazed at Archie.

Grace pointed towards the main doors. “Gordon’s coming in now.” She paused. “That is definitely a face like thunder. But does he have murder on his mind?”

Archie looked behind Gordon and out into the car park. “I think I can see Rob, he’s smiling. That evil, slimy smile of his! What’s he up to? Has he just said something to Gordon? Been bad-mouthing me again. Can we go outside and follow him?”

“We can try.”

Grace and Archie walked towards the main doors. Grace walked straight in to something.

“Ouch!” she rubbed her head. “That hurt. It felt like we walked in to an invisible force field. Well, I guess we know the answer to your question.”

Archie moved closer to Grace. “Sorry about that. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. There must be something we have to see at this time, and in this place. But what is it?”

Grace and Archie moved back to the reception area. Ms Berry was on duty. Grace studied her face, the woman didn’t crack a smile at all.

Grace suddenly felt a tightening in her stomach. Was that what they were meant to see? She recalled the events on the CCTV footage and then looked at her watch. This would be about the right time.

Before Grace could warn Archie, Ms Berry did the thing that Grace was waiting for. She smiled. Not an ordinary smile, it was a smile that you gave to someone you loved. It transformed Ms Berry’s face and took years off her.

Grace’s head seemed to move in slow motion as she turned it to see who Ms Berry was smiling at. She saw Wedding Archie chatting to Sylvia and Gordon, and she saw a group of maids picking up various pieces of luggage. Grace saw Beth, and another maid that seemed familiar.
