Chapter Nine

She hadn’t seen Brendan for the last three days. She’d said she had seen a ghost. He thought she was crazy. No way would he ever call her again. It bothered her more than it should have, considering how little time they’d spent together.

It was probably that amazing kiss. She couldn’t remember a kiss affecting her so strongly, turning her knees to jelly and setting her body on fire. She’d wanted to tear off his clothes and drag him into the bedroom. She’d wanted to make love with him all night long and start again in the morning.

It wasn’t like her. She hadn’t thought about sex for nearly a year, not since she had ended things with Adam. Now Brendan was gone and there was no way he was coming back. It made her heart hurt a little.

She was working at the clinic when her cell phone rang, just finished stitching up a little white schnauzer that had cuts its paw on a barbed wire fence.

“I’ll finish up,” Dr. Reynolds said. He was mid-forties, a little too thin and a really nice guy. “Go ahead and take the call.”

Callie hurried over and picked up the phone. “This is Callie.”

“It’s Brendan. Have you got a minute?”

Her stomach clenched. For him, she had all the time in the world. “I’m not busy at the moment.” She walked into the back room for a little privacy, the phone pressed against her ear.

“I can’t stop thinking about you, Callie. I really want to see you.”

A warm feeling spread through her. She’d begun to accept that she wouldn’t be seeing him again. “I’d like that, too.”

“Good. That’s great. Has the...ahh...ghost been back?”

Her fingers tightened around the phone. She didn’t want to talk about ghosts. She didn’t to ruin things again. “No, not since...not since the night of the murder.”

“I’m glad to hear it,” he said firmly. Something in his voice. Impossible as it seemed, it sounded a lot like jealousy.

“I know someone who...ahh...thinks she can help,” he said. “Any chance the two of us could come over tonight?”

He wanted to see her. He wanted to help her. He wanted to come over to the house. The warm feelings expanded. “Tonight would work.”

“Say eight o’clock?”

“All right. I’ll see you then.” She ended the call but still held onto the phone. Brendan was coming over. She glanced at the clock. It was almost six. If nothing last-minute came up, she could go home and figure out what to wear. She wanted to look good for him.

She just hoped all this talk about ghosts wasn’t going to send him running again.
