“WE’VE FOUND EIGHT OTHER GHOSTS,” Olivia announced two hours later, popping into the saloon and causing Cooper to practically fall out of his chair.

Despite being brave, the security guru made an odd screeching sound that caused Hannah to have to cover her mouth to hide her smile. “Who are you?”

“My mother,” Maddie volunteered from behind the counter. She was fascinated with the cappuccino maker and had been futzing with the controls for a good twenty minutes. “Mom, this is Cooper. In addition to being head of security at Casper Creek, he’s also Hannah’s boyfriend.”

“Oh.” Olivia wrinkled her nose and made an adorable face. “You’re just the cutest, huh?”

Nick, who was sitting next to Cooper and going through the submitted biographies of the other psychics, sat up straighter in his chair. When Olivia wanted him to hear, he could hear, which was exactly what was happening now. “Excuse me, but I’m the cutest. Me.” He thumped his chest for emphasis. “You can’t turn on me now.”

“You’re definitely the cutest,” Olivia enthused, floating through the table and landing on Nick’s left side. He couldn’t see his mother-in-law, but he could feel her presence, and it was something he’d grown to rely on. He knew, deep down, that if Maddie were ever really in trouble, Olivia would move Heaven and earth to get to her daughter. So, even though it was weird to share space with a ghost, he was more than happy to do it.

“Oh, you can’t change your mind now,” Cooper admonished, wagging a finger. “You said I was the cutest. Take-backs aren’t allowed.”

Olivia’s grin was indulgent. “Oh, you’re definitely cute. If Maddie and Nick weren’t soulmates, I would totally want you for my daughter.” She flicked her eyes to Hannah, who was watching the exchange with a mixture of amusement and annoyance. “Of course, I think you already found your perfect match.”

“I did,” Cooper agreed, his hand automatically moving to Hannah’s shoulder. “Maddie is lovely, but nobody is lovelier than my Hannah.”

“Now I think you’re the cutest,” Hannah teased, lightly pinching his flank. “This isn’t a mutual admiration society, though. I believe you had legitimate information you wanted to share when you first came in.”

“Right.” Olivia bobbed her head and returned to the matter at hand. “So, Abigail is still out there — I absolutely love her, by the way — and she’s watching the other psychics. We’ve already found eight ghosts, although some are trying to hide.”

Maddie’s forehead wrinkled as she lifted what was probably her fifth cappuccino to her lips and sipped. “Do you think that’s everybody?”

Nick slid his eyes to his wife and frowned. “Mad, don’t you think you’ve had enough caffeine? You’re going to be up all night at this rate.”

Maddie scowled as she regarded him. “I think I’m in charge of how much caffeine I’m allowed to have.”

“That’s all well and good, Mad, but I’m the one sharing a bed with you. What am I supposed to do if you can’t sleep? You know how I get when I don’t get my beauty rest.
