“I spent many years trying to exist with the guilt of having murdered my family and I was desperate to buy the family home, which had gone up for sale and been acquired by the Gilbert family by auction.”

“Gilbert? That was the surname of the veterinarian who would have been around the day everyone died. Did you drain him too? John Gilbert?” Edward asked.

“I don’t know,” Theo answered. “I only knew who was around at the time before I was turned, so I know I drained my aunt and uncle, two cousins, and some farmhands, but after that I don’t know. I was in a frenzy.” Theo looked determined. “I’m big on research but I’ve always avoided looking into the news from that period. It’s now time for me to do so. To find out exactly what was reported and who I drained. It’s possible that the Gilberts who bought the house did so because I killed their relative. I can’t not know the answers to this. It’s time I properly confronted my past and then maybe I can accept what happened.”

“How did you get the house back?” Edward asked Theo.

“Shelley helped me. Jim sold it back to us.”

I noticed Theo didn’t impart the fact that Shelley had put a glamour on him so that Jim Gilbert thought he’d sold the place to Simon Cowell. Seemed like Theo had had enough of complete honesty for one day.

“Why don’t you go get some sleep now, son?” I didn’t so much as suggest to Theo, as order him. “I need to speak to your father about my life since I’ve become a ghost.”

Theo didn’t need any more encouragement to leave, given he knew what would be coming up in conversation. It wasn’t until he got to the door that he stopped and turned to me.

“Are you sure you don’t need me by your side, Mum? Maybe it’s time I supported you for a change.”

“I appreciate the offer, and another time I might take you up on it, but your face turned sallow at the words juicy breasts and I’m about to say a lot worse, so I think it’s better you sleep.”

Theo nodded, and then told his father he’d hopefully see him later. I guessed at this stage we didn’t know if Edward was going to be around for good. Then he left and it was just the two of us.

“How do you want me to deliver my update? Very carefully like a ewe delivering her calf, or quick like a ewe in distress and the vet just yanking that fucker out?” I asked Edward.

“I’m going to choose carefully if that’s okay. I’m a little apprehensive of what you’re going to say and so I’d like a gradual build up.”

“Gotcha.”

I sat quietly for a moment as I thought of the best way I could possibly start this conversation.

Edward squirmed in his chair.

“Right, okay. When I realised I was a ghost, I had no idea you were there with me at all. None. I believed you had moved onto Heaven.
