    Summary

    “What’s going on?” Julie asked, all eyes suddenly on her. Her heart stuttered at the broken look in both of her phantoms’ faces. “What…”

    “Julie, you should probably sit down for this,” Willie said, unable to make eye contact with her.

    She glanced between him and her boys. “O-kay.” She leaned her bike against the nearest wall before taking a seat beside Alex, who had gone back to shoving the heels of his palms into his eyes. “You guys are really starting to scare me. What’s wrong?”

    “It’s about Luke,” Willie answered.

    Summary

    "H-How do you know my mother?"

    He tilted his head, his lips curling upward into a smile that made her slightly uncomfortable. “A story for another time, I’m afraid.” He produced a card out of thin air and presented it to her. “Though, little sparrow, if you are truly interested in knowing, seek me out.”

    Hesitantly, she took the card from him, her fingers flipping it over. Eyeing it curiously, she noted a name written in gold cursive. Caleb Covington, it read.

    ------

    A chance meeting with a strange man who claims to have known Julie's deceased mother pushes her headfirst into a world where Vampires and Werewolves exist. But there are secrets at every turn and Julie isn't sure who she can truly trust. Or if she'll be the person she was before her world was turned on its axis.

    Summary

    Eli has been a ghost for a long time, but that doesn't mean he's seen everything. Of course, working under Caleb means he's seen a lot but--seeing three ghosts who should have crossed over and stealing WIllie back from Caleb? Yeah, that's something new, even for him.

    Summary

    It's been a very long time since Alex has kept a secret this big from the people he loves. One that can change everything. One that's so big, so monumental, life will never be the same once he shares it.

    And he can say with certainty that he hasn't missed the anxiousness that comes with keeping a secret like this. The way his mind whirls in circles, coming up with every possible scenario of what could happen when he tells them. How his stomach rolls, and his insides turn to jelly at the thought of revealing it. How the fear keeps his fingers locked, and his breath short.

    How much danger there is in telling the truth.
    ...
    “We’re getting out of here. Tonight. There’s a ghost who can free our souls from Caleb.”

    Summary

    A heavy weight has settled itself in the pit of Luke’s stomach.

    Because sometimes, even after you make a decision, it feels wrong somehow. Like a new shirt that you were so sure that you wanted, that fit perfectly when you tried it on in the store, is suddenly three sizes too small. Constricting. Suffocating.

    Luke wants to make music. He wants to be free. Free to do what makes him happy. But now it feels like the thing he loves most is tainted. Stained. Haunted by the ghost of what he left behind, the echo of his mother’s cries wailing in his ears. Making a new song that fills his heart with dread and his ears with meaningless, painful ringing — background music for the voice in his head that’s screaming at him for throwing something away that he can never get back.

    Summary

    Ray Molina knew the truth about the holograms in his daughter's band from the moment he saw her play with them at the cafe. After all, he and Rose had been friends with Trevor Wilson for twenty-five years and even had their own "interesting little relationship" with him.

    What he doesn't know is just how dangerous the ghost world is, at least, not until Caleb Covington starts to possess him.

    Summary

    “Just say yesss,” the voice soothes; a lullaby, a balm to the boys’ frazzled souls. “Just join me. I can give you everything you’ve ever wanted. Music. Fame. A purpose. Connection. And you’ll all be together.

    “Just get us out of here,” Alex whimpers.

    It’s the promise of ‘connection’ that does it, really. Because, while anything beats wasting away in this dark space, connection is all Luke’s ever wanted.

    The uncertainty -- the intimidation; the slight fear, even -- that Luke feels at the chilling whisper is nothing compared to the possibility it brings. This voice, no matter how it plans on doing it, is promising them another chance. To play music, to put Sunset Curve on the map.

    “Please,” Reggie begs. Luke feels his friend knock into his side and he wraps an arm around Reggie’s shoulders, pulling him close.

    Wherever they’re going, they’re going together.

    Summary

    As much as Willie has grown to resent Caleb, with every fiber of his being that he can’t even claim as entirely his anymore, there’s still times where he can’t help but fall back into hanging onto every word the magician says. For better or for worse.

    And right now it's definitely for worse.

    Summary

    Ghosts, it transpires, are much more temporary than they seem. Everyone he falls in love with is chasing other meanings, and Willie helps them find them. He gives them his love and helps them find relatives and learn secrets and finish projects. Being loved is purpose enough in life, for some, but in death, in this odd liminal slice of time where the turning of the world has no bearing on one's soul, it is not.
    *****
    Alex comes back.
    Or, he never left, but the details don't matter to Willie, because after more than three decades of being left behind, over and over again, Alex comes back.
