“I’ll call Tom and see if he can drive the boys.” Zeke excused himself and went to the other room.

Allie waited until Cameron left to get dressed for soccer before saying, “Speaking of the boys, why didn’t you warn me that Henry was coming over last night?”

“I didn’t tell you?” Mimi asked innocently.

“You know you didn’t.”

“He’s a cute kid, huh?”

“Very cute.”

“Just like his dad.”

“Yeah, just like his dad, who as I said before, I have no interest in, so if you’re thinking of playing matchmaker, I already told you, that’s never going to happen.”

“Never is a long time.”

“True, but in this case it’s an eternity. We’re partners, nothing more.”

“Partners?” Mimi said perking with interest.

“As in, we both have a common goal. As soon as I get this ghost story, I’m out of Tom Donalan’s hair for good. Other than an occasional rare sighting, I predict with my biannual visit back home, odds are I’ll only run into him every fourth or fifth year, at best.”

“Already figured out the odds, have you?”

“In the interest of ruining your Fiddler on the Roof moment here, can I change the subject? Did you hear Roger Van Cleave admitted to being Concerned Citizen?”

“Yeah, pretty dramatic timing, huh?” Allie didn’t say anything. “What? You don’t think he wrote it?” Mimi asked.

“Let’s just say, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he made it up. Plus, it makes no sense really. Why write me an anonymous letter when he could have gotten his sister, the ghost hunter to investigate?”

Allie couldn’t put her finger on it, but there was something decidedly feminine about that letter. She’d wanted to ask Roger about it this morning, but by the time she and Tom had locked up the senior center, Roger had disappeared. She tried calling him, but there was no answer, so she left a message on his machine, but he still hadn’t returned her call. It didn’t take a genius to figure out Roger Van Cleave was avoiding her.

“Well, eventually, the truth will come out.”

“It usually does,” Allie agreed. She just wished it would come out sooner than later. She watched as her sister-in-law made a pot of coffee. It occurred to Allie that she’d never really questioned what Mimi did or didn’t know about the ghost. “You sure you never heard the ghost rumors before? I mean, before I came to town to investigate?”

“I think I would have remembered anything about a ghost,” Mimi said. She narrowed her eyes at Allie. “What are you thinking?”

“I just find it strange that I get this anonymous letter but there isn’t one person who’s come forward to say that they’ve seen anything, before today’s sighting, that is. Even Phoebe, who’s supposedly on top of all the paranormal activity in the area, was surprised to hear about this ghost.”

“And?”

“And I have no idea what I’m doing. I just hope this séance makes a good enough story to trump a piece on illegal immigration.”

“I’m just bummed that the séance has to be on the same night as Bunco.
