When was the last time Cleo had actually touched her guitar? She was sitting alone on the couch in her apartment, sipping her third glass of wine as the thought occurred to her. Not just “when did she last write a song?” or “when was her last gig?” But when was the last time she […]

Minnie’s niece had been over frequently in the past few weeks. Every time Roman was at her house, Janet was there too. Janet was a home care nurse, a little brash, but always gentle and caring with her aunt. Roman helped as much as Minnie would allow, moving her from bed to chair or making […]

“So she’s definitely gone?” Missy asked. Iris nodded. “Or at least, she says she’ll be leaving,” she said. “It was that painting you have up in that hallway, the landscape with the horses?” “Oh, that old thing,” Missy muttered. Anna looked at her with a half-amused, half-annoyed expression that still shimmered with affection. Then she […]

“So there’s something I need to tell you and it’s going to sound ridiculous.” Cleo looked up at Olivia as Olivia walked out of her bedroom. She’d just put Mia to bed, Andrew was working, and now it was time to finally have the talk. “Oh?” Cleo said, one eyebrow raised. “Yeah,” Olivia said, sitting […]

Andrew looked up eagerly as Olivia slowly walked into the house.

Olivia’s phone rang as she was pulling laundry out of the dryer. She set down the bedsheets in her arms, dodged Mia as the baby wrapped herself in a warm blanket, and headed to where the phone was mounted to the wall. “Hello?” she said, barely glancing at the caller ID. “Hi, is this Olivia?” […]

Jamie wasn’t avoiding his bedroom. He knew it was safe. He’d done fine keeping out whatever that ghost thing was and his mother’s additions had made it even safer. That had been obvious in the hours the ghost had spent tapping on the window and trying to scare him while Jamie attempted to sleep. That […]

“I’ve been waiting here for fifteen frigging minutes,” the man snapped, his face far too close to Olivia’s as she stood next to his table in the Keegan’s dining room. “I know,” she said quickly. “And I’m sorry. We’re understaffed and trying to do things as quickly as we can, but I understand. Please let […]

Roman wasn’t quite sure why they were wasting their time on things like meditation or cleansing. He knew those things were useful, certainly. But it wasn’t like he and Celine hadn’t been trying them all for the past fifteen years. If they were going to break something this overwhelmingly powerful, they needed to take it […]
