Phil insisted on walking them up to Tremé, even though it would make him late meeting his mother at the World War II Museum. Rebecca fell back a little, so Phil and Ling could keep chatting away to each other, and so she could grab her chance with Aurelia. It wasn’t easy, because her cousin was still fuming.

“Relia,” Rebecca said in a low voice, reaching for Aurelia’s hand. Aurelia pulled it away and kept looking straight ahead. “Relia, I’m sorry. I promise I’ll tell you everything.”

“When?” Aurelia demanded. “Tonight?”

Rebecca’s dad was taking them to Commander’s Palace for dinner, and Aunt Claudia and Aurelia were invited as well. Even though the restaurant was only on the other side of Lafayette Cemetery, Aunt Claudia hadn’t been for years. Rebecca didn’t remember her ever going to restaurants.

“It might be tricky tonight.”

“Then you’ll say it’s tricky tomorrow, and it’s tricky the day after, and then you’ll go home.”

“OK. I’ll try my best tonight. Straight after dinner, all right?”

“You promise?” Aurelia still sounded sulky.

Rebecca nodded. What she was going to tell Aurelia she didn’t know, but at least she had some time to think about it.

“And you have to promise me something,” she said. Ling and Phil had already crossed the street, but Rebecca dawdled long enough to miss the crosswalk light. “You can’t say a word about the ghost….”

“Frank?”

“Yes, Frank. You can’t say a word about him, or what you saw today, to anyone. Not to your mother, not to Claire, not to Ling, not to my dad — promise?”

“All right.” Aurelia jabbed at the crosswalk button. Ling and Phil didn’t seem to have noticed that Rebecca and Aurelia had fallen behind. How did they find so much to talk about?

“And you never told me why Toby Sutton was following you,” said Rebecca, “or why you ended up on Rampart Street.”

Aurelia sniffed.

“I’ll tell you tonight,” she said, sticking her nose in the air. “After dinner.”
