My Nan raised me to regard ghosts the same way the average person sees door-to-door salespeople and telemarketers: an unavoidable nuisance of life, one that should be dealt with firmly and swiftly and, ultimately, ignored. As cruel as that sounds, it was rooted in self-preservation.
If I could speak to my Nan again, I'd ask her this: did it hurt you to say no and does it ever stop hurting?
Maybe that higher power couldn't free these ghosts alone. ... but I still felt like I'd been given a mission, and damned if I wasn't going to do my best to fulfill it.
And this was the man I'd fallen in love with - the leader of a world in which I would always be "the other." My heart, it seemed, could be as feckless as my brain.
