Willa was grateful to Sawyer then, because him referring to her in this manner made it that much easier for her to ignore him.
“No, I’m not cold at all,” she answered Delores. Gaze straight ahead. Like she couldn’t hear or feel Sawyer’s ghost behind her.
“Hope I’m not coming down with something,” Delores grumbled. “Last thing I need on top of pulling mama duck duty with you.”
“Can you see me, Stork?” Sawyer demanded. “It looked like you could see me. If you can see me, talk to me. Please. Tell me what the hell’s going on here. I don’t understand.”
God, she was tempted to turn around. Just for the chance to watch Sawyer Grant beg her, Willa Harper.
But she wasn’t in high school anymore. She was a grown woman. One who knew better than to stop to chat with ghosts, or undecided spirits, or whatever the hell he was now.
“Probably just the air conditioning,” Willa said real deliberately to Delores, nodding at the nearest vent.
“Yeah, maybe.” But Delores cast an incredulous look at the vent. Like most people who could sense something there, but couldn’t see it, she was probably also being hit with a huge sensation of foreboding. The kind of horror movie stuff that was hard to ignore.
But proving what a consummate professional she was, Delores pushed through the doors anyway. And Willa followed, leaving Sawyer begging and pleading outside. Still believing nobody could see him.
She walked through the door, feeling like every high school nerd in every high school movie, when the cocky jock finally gets his comeuppance.
But the feeling of triumph hadn’t lasted long. And six years later, she found herself at the window of her childhood bedroom, standing with the sister she was once again sharing it with.
“Why did Sawyer Grant buy you a car?” Thel asked her now. “I thought he hated us.”
“I don’t know,” Willa lied. She loved her sister, but what happened six years ago with Sawyer Grant wasn’t a story she’d ever told. Or ever would tell. “Donny Lacer’s dad was trying to upcharge the hell out of me because of our credit situation. Guess he felt sorry for me.”
Thel frowned out the window, looking like she didn’t quite believe Willa, but didn’t want to dig for more info for fear Willa might ask her too many questions about the sudden disappearance of her spot in the SoCal Opera’s YAP program.
Stuff had happened to both of them during the years between Thel running away from home and them both returning here six years ago. They’d kill and/or die for each other—but tell their secrets?—no, that was still a bridge too far.
However, Willa’s secret had just moved back to town. And if she didn’t figure out how to get out of dodge soon, Sawyer Grant could end up ruining her life. Again.
