Part of Harper was put out that Jared wanted to leave her at the main house to check the woods. The other part was glad because she had a hunt of her own she wanted to participate in … and she felt it was better to conduct it away from his watchful gaze.

Unfortunately for her, Zander wasn’t the type to entertain himself and he followed her out of the parlor when she tried to slip out unnoticed.

“Where do you think you’re going?” he questioned her back, causing her to cringe.

“I didn’t think you were watching,” she grumbled.

“I’m always watching. I’m the Great Zander … or Zandini. What do you think sounds better?”

Harper wasn’t expecting the question. “I have no idea. Whichever one floats your boat is fine with me.”

“I’m going with Zandini. I think it’s more festive. Anyway, I’m the Great Zandini and I know all and see all. You can’t put one over on me no matter how hard you try. I knew you were going to sneak out before Shawn and Jared left. By the way, you’re not fooling anyone with that ‘stiff upper lip’ thing you’re trying to pull off. You’re going to give Jared grief about treating you like a girl before the night is out.”

Harper thought she should argue – she was a feminist at heart, after all – but she didn’t have the energy. “I’m heading upstairs.”

“Why?”

“Because … I just am.”

“Yeah, that’s not going to work on me. I need more of an explanation than that.”

Harper let loose a sigh, the sound long and drawn out. “Fine.” She held up her hands. “If you must know, I want to look around the house … and I want to do it at a time when no one is looking over my shoulder.”

Zander was fine breaking the rules. He’d been that way since he was three and his mother told him his face would freeze that way if he wasn’t careful. He risked it all the same because he figured it was worth it. He had no problem searching the Jessup house without invitation. He simply wanted to know why first.

“Harp, I think it would be better for both of us if you just told me what you were looking for. You’re not good at the subterfuge. You never have been. Can’t you just tell me? We’re wasting time.”

He was right. Harper hated to admit it, but she had no choice. “I have a feeling,” she started, searching for the right words. “I’ve had it since we arrived. I feel like someone is watching me.”

Zander didn’t as much as blink. “I’m sure half the people here are watching you. Some think you’re a kook because you can see ghosts and others think you’re awesome because you can see ghosts. It’s pretty much a mixed crowd.”

“Not a human someone.”

“Oh.” Realization dawned on him. “You think a ghost is here. Have you seen it? Is it Jennifer?”

“I haven’t seen it. I’ve just felt eyes a few times. The
