“And she’ll be here in twenty minutes.” She tucked a curl behind her ear and stared down at her watch. “So we should, you know …”
I looked at Nancy and Lorna and smiled. “Get on with what we’re here for?” I asked.
Since I’d died, the one thing I’d learned was that nothing was what it seemed—not my boyfriend, not my life, and certainly not my death. But if you had friends to help you through, well, maybe none of that mattered. Maybe it would be okay.
“Come on,” I said, grabbing Lorna’s shoulder and silently giggling at her face as I dared to ruffle the arm of her perfect blue Marc J dress. “It looks as though I’m the newest member of the Dead Girls Detective Agency. Whether I like it or not.”
Tess, Lorna, and Nancy hurried down the stairs to HHQ.
“Hey,” Edison said, grabbing my hand as I walked past and pulling me close, “I happen to like it very much.”
