He paused. “Well, I don’t know. If the crew didn’t mess with our equipment, then who did? And what’s with the power outages and that strange feeling, like someone’s touching you with cold fingers?”
“It’s drafty, and the power is hit and miss. And I’m pretty sure someone in the crew was playing a joke. Probably Holloway since he likes to prank everyone. He just told you that story to fuck with your head.”
“We prank each other but never on concert day. Shit like that can cause major disruption to the set and schedule.”
“Well, if it is a ghost, let’s just pray it’s a nice one,” I quipped. “Hey ghost, we mean you no harm. Please turn the lights back on and open the door for us, and we’ll leave you here in peace; thanks so much.”
Boom. The lights flickered on again.
Brodie looked at me with wide eyes.
“That’s just a coincidence,” I reassured him as we both sat up and reached for our phones. “And thank God, we now have cell service again.”
I tapped my phone and re-sent the message to Regan.
Then I walked over and tried the door handle again. It was still jammed.
“Well, I’m officially a believer.” Brodie looked around the room. “Thank you, spirit, for letting us perform here tonight. We might be back, but only for a short time. This place is all yours.”
“What are you doing?” I chuckled.
Brodie’s glare had me stifling more laughter.
“What does it sound like? I’m making peace with the entity that lives here.”
“The entity? Sounds like you need a rest, sweetheart.”
Brodie replied with a middle finger.
We were lovers now, but some things never changed.
I grabbed his hand and kissed his finger.
A knock at the door had us both startling.
“You guys, okay?”
Regan.
“We’re fine,” I replied. “But we can’t get the door open.”
“Let me try,” Regan replied.
The doorknob jiggled, but it didn’t budge. It took a few minutes, but finally, and with a loud creak, the door opened.
“Tell her what happened,” Brodie demanded.
“How about on the way to the party? We’re already late.”
“Agreed,” Regan replied and held the door open.
“Don’t think I’m gonna forget you making fun of me,” he huffed.
Despite looking annoyed, he placed his hand on my lower back as we stepped out into the hallway. Regan glanced at us again, but she made no comment.
Did it look like Brodie and I had been making out? Yes, yes, it did. I had no regrets.
“I was teasing. And you gotta admit, the ghost thing is a bit far-fetched.”
