Chapter Twenty-Four

OLEANDER - DANI 2023

Dani woke to the sounds of an argument. This time the voices came from her ensuite. She threw back the sheet and got out of bed. Before she reached the bathroom, Brett took her arm. He’d stayed with her during the night.

Bonnie barked but wouldn’t go near the door.

‘I’ll go,’ Brett whispered, as something crashed and shattered on the tiled floor. He hurried into the room. ‘There’s no one here,’ he called out to Dani.

‘You heard the voices too though, didn’t you?’ she asked, as she joined him. A perfume bottle had been broken and its liquid spilled all over the bathroom floor.

‘I didn’t hear them but who smashed your perfume bottle?’ Brett frowned. ‘At least, this room is going to smell beautiful for days.’

‘It had to be Eloise and the other ghost,’ Dani said.

‘Do you really believe that?’

‘A month ago, I probably wouldn’t have but now… I don’t have any other explanation.’

‘Was the bottle near the edge of the cabinet?’

‘Nowhere near the edge,’ Dani assured him.

‘I don’t know what we’re going to do if two ghosts start smashing things. Anyway, I’ll get a bucket and mop and a dustpan to put the glass in.’

When Brett had gone, Dani looked around her. She couldn’t see a ghost, but she could sense something. ‘Is that you Eloise?’ she asked, thinking she must be stupid. ‘Who are you arguing with?’

No reply came. Of course, no reply would be given. Dani spoke to thin air.

She went back into the bedroom, waiting for Brett to return. Then she halted. Dani stared at the photo of Eloise and Emily on the bottom of the bed. Dani hadn’t put it there.

‘Is it Emily you argued with?’

The door opened and Brett came in. ‘What’s that?’ he asked, indicating what she held in her hands.

Dani showed him the photo. ‘It’s of Eloise and Emily. I found it on the end of the bed when I walked back in here. It wasn’t there before.’

‘Bloody hell,’ Brett muttered. ‘Do you think Eloise put it there?’

‘I can’t explain it any other way,’ Dani said.
