Every minute that Elinor was away was agony to me. I hadn’t realised just how desperate I’d been to have someone to talk to, and now she was gone again the house felt so large and oppressive and empty, even more so than when I was alive. I floated aimlessly around the downstairs rooms, nervously flicking at my mother’s antique vases and cat statues with my fingers and watching my skin disappear through the glaze. It was weird being nervous and not being able to touch anything. I had all this energy humming around my body, and I couldn’t do anything with it.

I know how I’d like to burn it off, but ...

That was an inappropriate thought.

But I couldn’t help it. Elinor was just so tempting. With her no-nonsense brown hair and her black-rimmed glasses and her tight skirt clinging to her gorgeous curves, she had that whole hot librarian look down to an art. I could tell just from our short conversation that she was whip-smart, and she was ready to call me on my bullshit, which I admired, although I didn’t necessarily welcome it.

Back when I was alive, I’d had a lot of girls, although not as many as Allan or Pierre or the other members of my band and crew. Performing was so physically and emotionally intense for me that I preferred to drink alone afterward over making small talk with Bambi-McCocknstein or whatever that night’s goth groupie’s name was. But I’d definitely enjoyed more than my fair share of the world’s population of beautiful women. I’d been a loser and a loner in high school, and now that people knew who I was, it was a major ego boost to see women falling over themselves just for a night with me. It was fun, and I loved the sex, but it was easy. And easy got boring after a while.

I could tell that wasn’t Elinor’s game. It didn’t even seem as if she really knew who I was. She certainly didn’t fall all over herself in front of me like my female fans. I’d have to work to win her, and I was happy to rise to the challenge.

Just thinking about her in that tight sweater, her glasses pushed down her nose, was making something rise right now.

No. Reality slammed into me with enough force to knock me back through the hall wall. My phantom erection faded into the nothingness that was my body. What was I thinking, getting all hot under the collar for Elinor? It didn’t matter how I felt, I was dead. Elinor wasn’t interested in a fling with a restless spirit. I needed to stop being distracted by my mother’s sexy estate lawyer and focus on the problem at hand; how to move my soul from the living world to wherever it was supposed to go.

Luckily, as a musician who played music that Rolling Stone described as avant-garde-gothic-neo-folk-meets-Freddy-Mercury (try saying that three times fast), I had a strong interest in the occult and hauntings and other supernatural phenomena.
