Chapter Fourteen

“…All I am saying, Dottie, is April should let us know every detail she encounters.”

Dinner was sitting heavy on her now that they were walking to the city park. She was actually going to do this. She was going to ‘touch the tree’ and see if it would transport her into the other realm. April had finally convinced her grandmother and great-aunt to listen to reason. The elm tree was the only way she had to connect with the past, to find the truth to James’s execution.

With James heavily ensconced in his role of himself for Kings Mill’s festivities, now was the perfect opportunity. He was out and about, enjoying an evening entertaining the guests of some of the older taverns he’d frequented back in 1774. She’d attended one to see him at work last night, the Old Town Tavern, in which he told the story of Millie…and the other maid.

He’d done an excellent job, she had to admit. The guests had found his tales and details of the past so realistic many of them had stopped eating and conversing to follow his every move. He hammed it up the more the audience responded. Being able to share his life with others, James glowed with happiness. He was a great story teller and stand-up comedian as he reflected on a bygone era. Not to mention he had every female eye on him in the traditional costume he’d been wearing when they’d first met.

April found herself just as immersed, until he spoke of the ménage. The other guests laughed at his humorous pride at having two women fighting over him. He preened and flaunted his charms—revealing the James Addison of the past, no doubt, and his great conquests.

As much as she’d found his telling of the stories fascinating, she’d been jealous as hell. How could she compete with the bawdy act he’d been famous for? Had it actually been true? Did he follow through? He never said. If it was, was he still into such things? When they got home, she took it upon herself to try to impart, in vivid detail, that he would no longer need another woman as long as he lived. Her face flamed at the memory of last night’s escapade. She’d never made love against a wall before.

She turned her attention back on her aunt and grandmother who were arguing over her paranormal issues. This was not how she wanted this night to go. She had a limited window of time to get this done without James finding out. Her mother was staying home suffering another migraine and didn’t want to be bothered.

It bothered April though. Why didn’t her mother accept her gift and try to work with it—if not for the ghosts, then at least to relieve the damn headaches. Grandma Dottie was running out of her potions and herbs and they weren’t going away.

“I am not saying anything to the contrary, Vickie. But she’s not aware of what she’s seeing. Her realm is different than ours.
