That had been an overboard joke. I realize as soon as the words leave my tongue. "I am kidding! That was a joke." A really dark one. "You are trying to be a mood cheerer, I know." Gweneth said understandably.
"Did it work?" I ask.
"It did. For like a second."
I hum. "Am glad. When will you be coming home?"
"Maybe tomorrow or the day after." My mood dips. I knew I it. I just hope she doesn't stay longer than that.
"You are not scared of being on your own, are you?"
I let out an amused fake laugh in response. "Afraid? Girl, have you forgotten who I am? I survived wellington's haunted house and came out the only person to do so in the history of customers in haunted houses. Ghosts are the ones afraid of me." I brag.
"Yeah right. I forgot that you are a scarecrow of ghosts."
"Hmm-mmm. You got that right. So spend time with our little brother and come home so we can put our heads together on how to get him better."
