GHOSTS

“Two riders?” Lu looked at Katie then Abby. “Are you sure?”

“Well, the evidence is anecdotal.” Katie flashed a smile at Abby. “But we heard cheering from the periphery of the glen while we were dealing with the dick in the glen.”

“And the first rider didn’t have a sword. The second that was in the glen with us did,” Abby added. She sipped her wine.

The three of them had ended up in camp chairs in the back yard next to Lu’s outdoor fire pit. The remaining logs glowed and one popped and sent a shower of sparks into the air. The heat radiated off Abby’s legs, and this setting made the events in the glen seem far away. She was so relaxed that she might fall asleep out here.

“That’s very strange.” Lu stretched her hands to the fire. “But I suppose it’s probably happened over the years.”

“Whoever it was, he’d better hope I don’t find out who he is. You should have seen him, racing up and down on a horse. The damn path was barely wide enough for two people to stand next to each other.” Katie took a swallow from her beer bottle.

“There’s always a chance of something going wrong, but that sounds more reckless than it needed to be,” Lu said.

“Exactly. What if we’d had a kid with us or something? Or somebody had a ninety-year-old out there?”

Lu laughed. “Well, I don’t think a ninety-year-old is going to be traipsing around the glen like that at night. But thank you for your concern for children and senior citizens.”

Abby smiled. “So if you have some kind of grapevine to the secret horseman society, Lu, tell them we’re trying to save children and senior citizens from practical jokers who act like assholes in the glen during the annual festival.”

“I’ll see what I can do,” she said, and it sounded like she wasn’t kidding. She stood. “Do either of you want something else to drink?”

Katie held her bottle up in the light from the fire pit, inspecting it. “No. I’m good.”

“I’m fine,” Abby said. “I still have half a glass.”

“All right. Put another log on if you want, Katie.” Lu went back inside.

Light spilled through the windows onto the back porch, which looked like someone had added it on in the last few years. Like the front porch, it was covered, and it held a wrought iron table and chairs.

“This is a great house,” Abby said as she turned her gaze back to Katie. And she’d been right about a historic bungalow as the type of house Lu would live in.

“Yeah. Always feels good here. Speaking of, how are you doing?”

“Better. And you?”

“Same. I feel kind of bad that it happened, though. I hope it didn’t scar you for life.”

Abby laughed. “Not even close.”

“So does that mean that you’ll maybe want to go again at some point?”

“I’ll need a local guide.” Abby stretched her legs out.

“I know someone who is really interested in that position.”

“Then I think we can work something out.
