“This is the funnest time I’ve had all year,” I told Callie Jo, who had convinced me to accompany her on an Alaskan sea cruise around majestic mountains and huge, glistening glaciers that resembled a crystal fairyland. I gulped in cold, crisp, clean air and stood on the deck where I savored nature’s magnificent view when Callie Jo’s cheerful mood switched abruptly to fear.

“There’s a fire in the engine room,” she stated, but then reassured me, “but the captain has it under control. You won’t believe how the fire started, though!”

“How?” I inquired curiously.

“Kev started it.”

Doubt drew my eyes tighter so I squinted as I asked, “Why would he do something dangerous like that?”

Like a clever cat, Callie Jo licked her dry lips before explaining, “He’s becoming restless, tired of being earthbound. It’s time for him to cross over and stay on the other side, but he doesn’t want to leave you. Yet his time on earth is short. The clock is ticking. He doesn’t have much longer until he must go.”

Dread enveloped me like a wool blanket that wrapped snugly around my trembling body and left me feeling too warm. “What can I do so I don’t lose Kev? I can’t bear for his spirit to depart and never return to me again!”

“We can try to summon him in a séance and see if we can persuade his spirit to take over another unsuspecting male body.”

“That’s a crazy idea! And I never liked to dabble into the occult. It’s dangerous!”

Callie Jo eyed me suspiciously. “You’re sure you don’t want to try a séance?”

“I’m sure.”

“What if it means you never see him again, Belle?”

I shrugged. “What will be will be. Long ago, I made a promise to myself to never play with a Ouija board or participate in séances after my friend’s horse threw her and left her paralyzed for life. The accident occurred the next day after we girls held a séance and consulted a Ouija board at a slumber party when we were thirteen.”

“Suit yourself,” Callie Jo responded dryly, adding, “but if I were you, I’d prepare to say goodbye to Kev’s ghost.”

“That’s easier said than done. He was the only guy I could ever really be myself with and he always knew how to make me smile. Smart, funny, talented, kind, sensitive, sexy, popular, sweet, but sassy…there’ll never be another one like Kev!”

Callie Jo laughed as her long, bony fingers clenched the ship’s railing that was painted stark white. “I envy you. All my life I never met a guy like that, let alone knew the joy of receiving his love and adoration.”

“Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all,” I quipped, and then asked, “With your psychic abilities, how is it that you never found the love of your life yet?”

“That’s the one question I always asked myself,” she replied, “and I have no answer. Wish I did.” Somewhere out on the water a deep-sounding boat horn blared as Callie Jo continued, “It’s been really nice getting to know you and Kev, too.
