“Oh.” She straightened in her seat. “Yes, I think I can do that. And I think it’s okay. What mess are we talking about?”
“Ah, so ‘mess’ isn’t quite a fair description. Mystery, perhaps? Genevieve Weber was murdered here in the neighborhood back in the seventies.”
She frowned at me. “Genevieve . . .” Her eyes widened. She hunched closer and lowered her voice. “Ginny?”
I nodded. “There’s something terribly wrong about the whole thing. Her death was misidentified as a suicide, her soul collection wasn’t entirely to protocol, and she came back. I didn’t even know souls that had crossed could come back. But regardless, it’s all quite unusual.”
“That does sound like a mystery.” Sylvie considered for a few seconds. “I’m in, on one condition. You, Geoff Todd, have to tell me all about dating back in your day.”
“Ah . . .” Words failed me and my neck warmed. Ridiculous, because it was a simple enough trade. “Dating, ah, courting, yes, I can do that. Any particular reason?”
“Oh, no. None at all,” Sylvie said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
