Pru watched as Alex strode back into the house. There was something different about him now. Square jaw clenched, gray eyes guarded. She was so wet for him she felt the moisture dripping down her leg, but whatever they’d had a minute ago was now gone. Disappointment stole through her blood, but she refused to let it show.

Instead, she went back to cleaning up the broken mirror. “You are a jumpy one.”

He stopped several inches out of arm’s reach. “Someone is trying to hurt you, Pru.”

She stiffened for a split-second. His tone was so hard, so certain ….

“You’re ridiculous.” She set the broom and full dustpan aside, dusted her hands off on her shirt, and started straightening the photos they had knocked over in their moment of lust. “As I told you before, this happens sometimes. It’s the Green Lady. She doesn’t like men.”

“And you say I’m ridiculous? Listen to yourself. A bullet breaking the mirror is a hell of a lot easier to swallow than a ghost!”

“Maybe for you. Where’s the bullet, Alex?” She opened her arms, turning in a circle. “I didn’t find it while sweeping up the glass. It’s not in the mirror or the wall.”

He opened his mouth to reply, glanced around the hallway, and then closed it again without uttering a sound.

“I don’t believe in ghosts,” he finally said, enunciating each word.

She pointed a finger at his scarred chest, at the small gold cross swinging from the chain around his neck. “And yet you believe that if you get down on your knees every night and pray, God will forgive your sins and save your soul?”

His jaw tightened until a muscle ticked below his eye.

“No,” he said after a long second and stalked toward the stairs. “I don’t believe that either. My soul can’t be saved, but you can’t blame a guy for trying.”
