I found it hard to get to sleep that night. I fought the urge to get up and look out my window. I was amazed at how I could miss someone so much, even though I thought he hated me just a day or so ago. I finally grabbed a book and drifted off after a few pages.

We were back at Centennial Park and sitting close to the security booth like we always did. I had promised my mom that’s where we would stay while we watched Gone with the Wind. Ginny got up during her favorite scene and started walking towards someone whose face I couldn’t see. She ignored me when I called her, so I got up to follow her but she was gone. When I looked back at our picnic blanket, someone else was there. It took my eyes a few moments to focus but pretty soon I made out the face. Miles.

My eyes shot open as I felt a surge of panic take over. It took me a moment to catch my breath and calm my heartbeat. I glanced at the clock and it read 3:47 am. I knew there was no way I’d be able to fall back to sleep so I switched my light on and opened my computer. I decided I’d read up on spirit attachment again. I found the name and number of a book store downtown and planned to pay it a visit to see what books I could find on the topic. I hoped that I’d get some answers. I saw a slight movement out of the corner of my eye and when I looked up it was Ginny. I was so relieved I almost forgot myself and said her name out loud. I had so many questions about where she had been.

“I have been worried sick.” As soon as I said it, I realized how parental I sounded. I got up and we both went into the bathroom.

“Something was here the other day, and it kept me from coming in. One minute I was in the window seat, and the next I was outside, but you couldn’t see me.”

“And you could see me?”

“Kissing Brody on the porch? Yes,” she said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at her. Of course she’d see that. “I could hear the house being torn up, but no one was there, Hadley. What could do that? I can’t move anything.” The possibilities were too frightening to name. I felt nauseated just thinking of them.

“I don’t know, Ginny. I don’t know.” And that was the truth. I thought about the bookstore I planned to visit and hoped it would lead me in the right direction. I didn’t want to go into too much detail with her just yet. We sat there in silence before she spoke again.

“So, is he a good kisser?”

“I don’t have much to compare him to, but since he made my knees turn to jelly then yes, I would say so.”

“He’s dark and mysterious.
