“Macie said the same thing, but I’ll just mail it to Chad. He can give it to the next woman he fools.”
I had just finished putting on Rhys’s T-shirt to sleep in when I heard the TV in my living room come on. Alarmed, I grabbed my cellphone off my bathroom vanity and cautiously walked down the hallway to see if what I was hearing was real or my imagination.
When I peeked around the corner, I saw the movie The Notebook playing. It was Rhys’s favorite and mine. But how in the hell did my TV come on? No one was here but me.
I walked into my living room, picked up the remote, and turned my TV off, back on and off again. Everything worked as it should.
Still puzzled, I entered my kitchen and looked around for anything odd. There was nothing, so I headed toward my dining room, noticing two chairs scooted together but not by me.
When I reached them, I saw petals from the daisy bouquet Rhys had given me lying on the table. Nothing was odd about them being there, but the double heart shape they’d been arranged in had just blown my mind.
Holy shit.
I snapped a picture and texted it to Rhys. He called me seconds after he’d seen it.
“Did you steal my ghost?” he chuckled.
“If I did, it wasn’t intentional. Can you believe this?”
“Yep.”
“Guess what else your ghost did?”
“There’s no telling.”
“It turned on the TV in my living room, which made me go in there. Then I discovered the surprise in my dining room.”
“I’m jealous. My ghost interacts with you more.”
“Rhys, I don’t know how to feel about it. It’s just…weird.”
“It shouldn’t be, considering the paranormal activity we grew up around.”
“Yeah, but I’ve never dealt with anything here or anywhere to this degree. It’s very personal.”
“Take it as a compliment and try to relax. I hear the stress in your voice.”
“It’s going to take me having a glass of wine to relax after all this.”
“Do what you need to do.”
“I wish you were here,” I sighed.
“Three days, and I will be for the whole weekend. What would you like to do while I’m there?”
“For certain, I want to show you the botanical gardens. They’re so beautiful.”
“We’ll go then. What else would you like to do?”
“Spend the rest of our time together here at my duplex. I want to cook a yummy country meal for you.”
“I could certainly go for that because I hardly ever cook for myself.”
“You don’t eat supper with your parents at their house anymore?”
“On occasion, I will. I try to be mindful of them having an empty nest now, which equates to a second honeymoon phase for them.”
“I hadn’t thought about that. I hope they’re enjoying it.”
