“Not if he’s medicated. If he’s in prison or a hospital, he’s going to be on medication. Maybe you can follow him there, but he can’t talk to you or see you.”

She raised an eyebrow. “No? He’s doped up right now and we’re communicating just fine. If he wasn’t so worried about you, I think we could break down a couple other barriers.” She gave me a leering grin. “He really is very handsome. Hard to resist.”

Again, I ignored her taunting. “So the dreams and stuff, that’s you?”

“Dreams? A whisper in the ear? A suggestion? Whatever. It’s like with me and you here. I’m in the room with him, and he should be able to see me, but the medication blocks me visually. We had a couple of weeks when he could see me. I suggested he didn’t need those pills, and he agreed. I suppose though, I pushed him too far and his mother swooped in. Stupid moms. Why does he have one that pays attention?” She looked genuinely annoyed. “So, he’s cheating and only taking the bare minimum of the medication so they don’t notice. It’s enough for him to hear me if not see me. I just talk to him. All the time. I may like it better.”

Her tone had a disconnect. Like she was here, but not. The fact she could touch me freaked me out enough not to push her. I decided to turn this into a fact-finding mission instead. “Why him?”

It was an easy enough question, but she flipped it back on me. “Why did you pick him?”

“I... well, I think we kind of picked each other. The ghost-seeing thing was one reason, but at first I didn’t want to date him. He was pretty persistent.” I smiled at the memory of how hard I fought him off, and how he wouldn’t let me run from this connection between us. “Sometimes things are right.”

“Sometimes things seem right when really the better choice is unavailable at that time.” There was an edge to her words. It was more than obvious that Connor pursued me in a way he hadn’t her. No matter what the reason.

“You had your chance with him,” I shot back. “You didn’t answer me. Why him?”

“Why him? Because he loves me despite everything... despite all the crap I’ve been through. No matter whose hands had been there before. Despite death, even. You’re on his mind, but he’s easy to distract.”She leveled me with a hard stare. “He’ll remember what we had, how much he wanted me.”

“Why does he want you? You don’t love him—he knows that. Plus you’re dead. He and I both know there is only so far a relationship can go between a ghost and a human.”

“He’s always wanted me. From the moment we met in that shitty hospital. We connected in there Jane. Bonded. We were there for one another. And you’re wrong, he doesn’t know that I don’t love him. He wants it more than anything. They all do.
