“Sounds like you and I are a match made in heaven.”
“Yeah, it does.”
“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Please.”
“Still take yours with a teaspoon of sugar?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“You living in a big city and all, I didn’t know if your coffee preference got fancy and you like caramel, whipped cream, and stuff like that now.”
Riley shook her head no. “To me, the way I take it is fancy.”
“Give me a kiss, and I’ll get your java.”
“Even with this morning breath of mine?”
“It’s never bothered me. Does mine bother you?”
“Nothing about you bothers me.”
After Riley kissed me, I got up and looked over my shoulder at her, stretched out across my bed with her long black hair wisping across my pillow.
“What is it?” she asked.
“It’s just you.”
We smiled at each other, and then I headed to my kitchen. When I walked into it, I did a double take at the picture window above the sink.
“Riley, come here! You’ve got to see this!” I hollered.
She was by my side within seconds, staring at the two linked hearts drawn in the moisture outside the window.
“Your ghost?” she asked.
“Yep.”
“Unbelievable, yet so believable. I’ve got to take a picture of this.”
“Then text it to me.”
“And you text me the one you took of the sugar hearts on your counter.”
“Deal.”
Riley ran down the hallway to my bedroom to get her cellphone off my nightstand. When she returned, I noticed her worried look.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
She held up her cellphone. “Chad texted me. He wants to talk to me in person.”
“When?”
“Today, here in town.”
I cleared my throat. “What do you want?”
