“Stop being such a nerd, Jane. This is why Connor ditched you.” She held her forefinger and thumb up to her forehead and made the letter L. “You’re lame and boring. And sure, he has a thing for saving damsels in distress, but I’ve got you beat in that category every time.”

“You do realize you’re dead, right?”

“You do realize he’s never going to call, right?”

I refused to answer that question.

“I may be dead, but I have his full attention. When he’s awake or asleep. When he’s drawing or painting. When he’s alone, he’s mine. I don’t care if he goes to jail or back to the hospital. Even if I can’t have him, no one else can.”

“You’d rather him be locked up than not yours.”

“It’s all only a matter of time. He’s unwell.” She frowned but it didn’t meet her eyes. “Poor Connor. I admit you’re good for him, in that you know what is really going on. So he doesn’t feel so lost. But that was before, when I wasn’t around to help take care of him. Now I can be there regardless of where he is.”

“Not if he’s medicated. If he’s in prison or a hospital, he’s going to be on medication. Maybe you can follow him there, but he can’t talk to you or see you.”

She raised an eyebrow. “No? He’s doped up right now and we’re communicating just fine. If he wasn’t so worried about you, I think we could break down a couple other barriers.” She gave me a leering grin. “He really is very handsome. Hard to resist.”

Again, I ignored her taunting. “So the dreams and stuff, that’s you?”

“Dreams? A whisper in the ear? A suggestion? Whatever. It’s like with me and you here. I’m in the room with him, and he should be able to see me, but the medication blocks me visually. We had a couple of weeks when he could see me. I suggested he didn’t need those pills, and he agreed. I suppose though, I pushed him too far and his mother swooped in. Stupid moms. Why does he have one that pays attention?” She looked genuinely annoyed. “So, he’s cheating and only taking the bare minimum of the medication so they don’t notice. It’s enough for him to hear me if not see me. I just talk to him. All the time. I may like it better.”

Her tone had a disconnect. Like she was here, but not. The fact she could touch me freaked me out enough not to push her. I decided to turn this into a fact-finding mission instead. “Why him?”

It was an easy enough question, but she flipped it back on me. “Why did you pick him?”

“I... well, I think we kind of picked each other. The ghost-seeing thing was one reason, but at first I didn’t want to date him. He was pretty persistent.” I smiled at the memory of how hard I fought him off, and how he wouldn’t let me run from this connection between us.
