Chief Terry was already seated at the expansive table talking with Clove and Sam when we entered the dining room. I hadn’t heard him when he arrived, so I was understandably surprised ... until I realized he’d entered through the back door.

“Terry, I put the bag you brought in my room in case you’re looking for it,” Mom announced as she breezed through the swinging door. She shot me an absent look as I sat in my usual chair. “I didn’t realize you guys were here. Dinner is about ten minutes out.”

That was it. She didn’t say another word. She didn’t mention that she was sorry for traumatizing me earlier. She also didn’t say that she’d thought long and hard about what had happened and was sorry for being a hypocrite and sleeping with Chief Terry on the first date.

None of that occurred.

“Thanks.” Chief Terry’s cheeks burned bright when I shifted my gaze to him. He sat to my right — that was the usual configuration — and Landon to my left. Apparently Chief Terry wasn’t quite ready to meet my gaze, because he opted to continue his previous conversation rather than say anything to me. “I definitely think we can work something out with patrols around the Dandridge during busy festivals, Sam. I’ll talk to my men.”

“What’s happening out at the Dandridge?” I asked.

“Nothing,” Sam replied hurriedly. “It’s just ... I found some weird footprints by the tanker and there are new tire prints in the mud on the road that leads to the Dandridge. I think it’s obvious someone parked out there and walked around. It must have been last night after we went to bed. I want to make sure it’s not someone planning something dangerous.”

“I told him it was probably kids,” Clove offered. “He agrees, but we want to make sure.”

“That used to be a party area,” Chief Terry said. “I’ll send a few patrols out just to be on the safe side.”

“I would appreciate it.” Sam rubbed his hands over Clove’s shoulder. “Now that I’m getting married to the prettiest woman in the world, I want to make sure she’s safe at all times.”

Clove beamed at him as Thistle mimed throwing up.

“Oh, that’s sweet,” Landon intoned. “He’s going out of his way to make sure his woman is safe and I’m taking mine to spend the night at a camp where a killer might be hanging out. That makes me feel like a bit of a dolt.”

I frowned. “Did you just refer to me as your woman?”

“No. You’re hearing things.” He didn’t meet my gaze. “But speaking of that, I need to talk to you guys.” He launched into his spiel, which took only a few minutes, and by the time he was finished Sam was already bobbing his head.

“That’s a great idea,” Sam enthused. “I haven’t seen a ghost myself in some time and I’ve yet to see Bay in action with her new powers.” Sam’s mother was a witch and he, too, could see ghosts.
