“Beer?”

Nico was at my shoulder holding two crisp light beers in each hand.

“I shouldn’t,” I told him. I already wasn’t a fan of ghost tours. But then I reminded myself of who was coming on this tour, and I reached for the offered glass.

“You okay, Tally dearest?” He arched an eyebrow at me and I quickly nodded, catching a few of the other artists glancing at me in my periphery.

For all the detriment it had done to me internally, that kiss at the mine had completely burned away the framework of fabrication Carlos had been insisting on. And it showed. He was sulkier and snippier than before and grew more annoyed with Kendall and her attachment to social media and her phone by the moment.

“Yeah. It’s just a long week.”

“It’s only Wednesday,” Nico drawled, a grin poking a dimple into one round cheek.

I glared at him and took a long sip of the beer, resting my elbow on the bar.

We sat inside the Old Bisbee Brewing Company. The brick-covered beer company was a must-see on the famous Brewery Gulch, a short alley lined with nostalgic architecture that housed modern microbreweries. Western facades dripped with bright signs for new businesses, but the inside air was heavy with hops and history. The quaint atmosphere dimly lit and the bar seating and few plain booths filled with our group of artists.

More than the rest of Bisbee, Brewery Gulch felt like a twilight zone. Modern day amenities in the trappings of the past.

Kind of like me.

I woke up every day, going through the motions of my new life. But I couldn’t shed the past. It clung to me like a tall, dark, Native American shadow.

Taunting me.

Tempting me.

Since I’d turned down Sam’s pizza offering at the gallery, things had been tense. I rode with Mee-Maw to the gallery Monday and Tuesday since she was teaching two early jewelry-making classes at her new job, but Sam still showed up to drop off coffee and a kiss on top of my head. A reminder that I couldn’t run forever.

But it was my fault. I’d trapped myself in this cage of my own making.

Mee-Maw invited him over for chili Monday night. She said it was to celebrate opening night of the gallery, but let’s be real… the fact that it was Monday was enough to justify her famous chili. Thankfully, she’d asked me to invite Nico.

At first, I thought having him there would break up the ramparts that hit too close to the past. Until Nico and Mee-Maw returned into their instantaneous paranormal conversation, chatting about lost spirits and bridges to another world, leaving Sam and me to our own devices.

Mee-Maw knew something was going on. She always did. It was why she invited me to take a jewelry class with her last night. She really wanted to show me the place where she worked, insisting I would love to see all the Bisbee Blue. I turned her down, settling instead for some take-out pizza eaten in my room.
