“Jackson and I can both tell they are.”
I returned to my kitchen and grabbed a half-full bottle of sauvignon blanc out of my refrigerator. It’d been there since the day before I made the trip home to Cypress Hills, ran into Rhys in front of the grocery store, and my whole world changed. The wine wasn’t from Josh Cellars, but I planned to pick up some tomorrow to have on hand, especially on ghostly nights such as this one.
“Do you know what else I’d like us to do this weekend?” I asked Rhys as I filled a glass.
“Not a clue.”
“Watch The Notebook because that’s what was showing on my TV screen when I walked into my living room a few minutes ago.”
“You’re kidding me?”
“Now you sound weirded out, Silverman.”
“I don’t understand how the ghost knows about the little things that mean the most to you and me. It’s not as if I’ve discussed them with it.”
“Maybe ghosts can read our thoughts.”
“And maybe other things. That might be how our ghost knows about the linked hearts. It read the Valentine’s Day letters that you wrote to me.”
“But what about the movie? Have you thought about it or watched it since we last did?”
“Several times.”
“Me too.”

Song: “I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes” by Dierks Bentley
“I WON’T BE able to make it to Fort Worth by the time you get off work tomorrow,” I told Riley.
“That’s okay. Just get here as soon as you can.”
“I had all of my stuff covered, but one of my dad’s cows stepped on his left foot this afternoon and broke three of his toes. He’s in quite a bit of pain and hobbling around.”
“Oh my gosh, that’s awful!”
“It’s just part of having livestock. I’ll hit the road as soon as Jackson and I get done tending them.”
“Who’s going to help your brother through the weekend?”
“My mom.”
“She’s so tough.”
“Country girl, through and through.”
“Well, I’ll be ready to see you tomorrow. Who am I kidding? I’m ready now.”
“You better be naked when I arrive.”
Riley chuckled. “Deal.”
“You know how my day has been, so tell me about yours.”
“It was good. Making folks’ teeth clean and shiny makes them happy, which makes me happy.”
