HADRIAN LOOKED HIS usual gorgeous self when he strode inside St. Michael the Archangel Church.

The bad news: he was still dressed in black from top to bottom, which totally didn't help his case.

The good news: he didn't catch fire upon stepping on holy ground, and he didn't even flinch the slightest bit when, upon reaching me, I "accidentally" splashed a whole bottle of holy water on his face.

There were a couple of loud gasps from the other churchgoers, but I didn't dare take my eyes off Hadrian's face, which remained beautiful...and unblemished.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I felt weak with relief, and I couldn't keep myself from grinning like a fool. "I'm so, so sorry about that."

"You sound very much like it, too." Hadrian's tone, albeit dry, was also underscored with amusement.

A total gentleman through and through, which was the very opposite of the D-word that every dead person in Portland seemed to think he was.

"I'm really very sorry..." I finally managed to find the pack of tissues in my bag and pulled out a sheet. "Here..." I only meant to hand it to him, but then I saw Hadrian raise his brow at me.

Oh.

I found myself biting my lip even as I slowly reached up to wipe one side of his face with slightly trembling fingers. His skin was hard and smooth under my touch, and I was so badly tempted to have another "accident" just so I could reacquaint myself with the texture of his lips..

"Sorry about this again," I said softly.

"Hm."

"It really was an accident."

"Of course."

The dryness of his tone had me fighting back a smile. "You think I did it deliberately?" I glanced up as I spoke, wanting to see his face when he answered me.

"We both know you did." His voice was calm, and his silvery gaze only reflected curiosity. "I'm just waiting for you to tell me why."

And that was that.

He wasn't angry at all, and that could only mean one thing. Hadrian was not the Man in Black. He was just too nice to be the D-word, and I simply needed to find a way to prove this to the other ghosts.

But first—-

Three tissues later, and I could finally take a small step back to observe my handiwork. "All done," I assured him.

"Thanks."

I ignored the sardonic note in Hadrian's voice and instead pointed to the small garden at the back of the church. "Can we go there and talk?"

Hadrian took my hand as we walked, and he led us to one of the stone benches scattered around the garden. I waited until we were both seated before clearing my throat. "So..."

"Is this about me leaving in the middle of the night?"

"Uh..." So much had happened that it actually took me a second to understand what he was talking about. "No, it's, um, not that. It's...something else."

Hadrian's gaze narrowed. "Is this about the...stray?"

"Err...no." I was genuinely taken aback. Where did that even come from?

"You're certain?"

"It really was just a stray, you know." I saw the hardened edges of his jaw relax, and my confusion grew.
