Cassie (The Coven's Grove Chronicles #3) (24 page)
“I’ll do what I can.”
That’s all Paige really wanted from her. Even though they didn’t know each other, the effort was appreciated. She reached out to pat Nova on the shoulder. “Thanks, I hope--”
Nova shied away from her touch, but didn’t move quick enough. Paige’s hand passed right through her.
What the hell?
Paige stumbled back. “You’re dead!”
“Let me explain...”
“Screw that!” Paige snatched her keys out of her purse and got in the car, Nova pleading with her the whole way. She’d had experience with and exposure to the dead, sure, but she’d never been fooled by one like this before. She’d
never
had one appear so...alive. “Back off lady. You’ve got issues I can’t help with.” She slammed the door shut, and started the car.
Nova’s head popped through the window. “I’m so sorry, please--”
Paige put the car in reverse and hit the gas. The ghost’s head and shoulders slid through glass and steel to be left behind in the dust. Once out of the parking lot, she peeled out and took off down the street. It was a ways down the road before she noticed her hands trembling on the steering wheel.
Damn, that was messed up
. It was more than just the actual encounter that had shaken so badly though. The loss of a potential comrade-in-arms after so long of finding no one had hit deep. The loneliness she had been coping with on a daily basis suddenly became an insurmountable weight that crushed down on her. Tears welled in her eyes as she pulled into her apartment complex.
She wiped her face with the back of her hand before she got out of the car and went inside. Her purse was thrown on the couch as she crossed the small living area, and headed straight for the bathroom. She drew a bath and stripped out of her work clothes, the walls of isolation pressing in on her. The water was blessedly hot, but provided little comfort as she wept.
