“THEY’RE LEAVING,” ZANDER COMPLAINED AS he stood at the window that faced Harper’s house and watched Jared’s vehicle navigate the dark roadway.

“What?” Shawn looked up from the book he was reading and frowned at his fiancé. He hadn’t even noticed Zander migrating in that direction. “Who is leaving?”

Zander shot him a withering look. “Who do you think?”

“Um, let me take a wild guess. Harper and Jared?”

Zander nodded. “They both got in his truck and took off.”

Shawn was used to listening to Zander complain about Jared stealing too much of Harper’s time and settled in for what he thought would be an extended diatribe. “I believe they’re allowed to go out whenever they want because they’re adults. It’s not even nine.”

“Yes, but Jared was feeling romantic when we saw them at dinner,” Zander pointed out.

“How do you know that?”

“Because he leads with his pelvis when he’s feeling romantic.”

Shawn stilled. “I was just going to say that I’ve never noticed that and yet you’re right. He does lead with his pelvis when he’s feeling romantic.”

“I’m the most observant man in the world.” Zander tapped the side of his head for emphasis.

“Maybe Harper needed something from the store or something.”

“They would’ve come over here first if they ran out of something.”

“Maybe she needed tampons or something only girls need.”

“She won’t need tampons for another two weeks.”

Shawn lowered the book and pinned Zander with a dark glare. “The fact that you know that is distressing.”

“We lived together for years. I learned to track that stuff. That’s not it.”

“Well, if you’re worried, text her and see what the problem is.”

“I already know what the problem is.”

“Oh, yeah? What’s the problem then?”

“They’re going to the cemetery. Harper saw Morton’s ghost today. He took off before she could talk to him, though. Jared was feeling romantic, which means Harper is the one who decided they should leave. She would only do that if it was something important because she likes playing their Scooby games as much as he does.”

“So, what’s bothering you?” Shawn found he was genuinely curious. “I thought you hated talking to ghosts in the middle of the night.”

“Yes, but I hate being left out more.”

Sensing trouble, Shawn readjusted himself. “You’re not thinking of following them, are you?”

“Of course not.”

Shawn was relieved. “That’s good.”

“It’s too late to follow them. They’re already gone. We are going to meet them there and voice our concerns about being cut out of the action, though.”

Shawn’s heart sank. “We are?”

“Yup. You’d better change into dark clothes. You’ll stand out in that outfit you’re wearing.”

Shawn’s lip curled as he took in Zander’s pink shirt and baby blue shorts. “Look who is talking.”

“I’m going to change, too.”

Shawn still wasn’t convinced. “Are you sure about this?”

“Harper might need backup.”

“She has Jared.”

“What if he needs backup?”

Shawn exhaled heavily. He knew it was a losing argument. Why he persisted in making it was beyond him. “Give me five minutes.”

“Three. We need to get moving.”

“Fine, but if they’re angry, I’m letting them yell at you until they go hoarse.
