“You must be very pleased,” Onyx said when Noah told her about the unexpected song royalties. “I would think $40,000 is quite a bit of money to be paid for writing a song.”

“Two songs actually,” Noah said. “But I. And I’m not sure I feel right about cashing the check.”

“And why would that be?”

“Because I didn’t write them. My grandfather did.”

“Oh, I see,” Onyx said. “In any case, not cashing the check would be ridiculous. Use the money for the restaurant. It’s what Alistar would have wanted. And, speaking of the restaurant, I saw the changes you’ve made.”

“You did? When?”

“Last night,” Onyx said. “I was out late.”

“Oh,” Noah said. Being out late was Onyx’s way of telling Noah she’d taken someone the night before. “I thought you looked particularly healthy this morning.”

Onyx was an exceptionally beautiful woman—so much so that sometimes Noah felt like she was from another world. Which, of course, she was.

But after Onyx had taken someone, it was like God had sprinkled her with an extra touch of perfection that made her literally glow.

Noah found it interesting that Onyx felt compelled to tell him when she’d been out late—her explanation being that because Noah witnessed the fight between her and Claudia, there was no need to hide it. Besides, she said, she didn’t want him to hear about it in the local paper.

Noah thought it went deeper than that.

As if telling him her deepest, darkest secrets made their relationship more normal somehow. Which, of course, it wasn’t.

Onyx was dead.

Onyx was a ghost.

Noah had gotten used to being around Onyx, but to think that their relationship was normal? How could it be?

“Come with me,” Onyx said walking toward the front door. “I want to take you somewhere.”
