Tessa
Where the hell are you?” I mutter, searching the dark garden for my
cellphone. I’m naked in a robe, with a hot man waiting for me in
bed; the last thing I want is to be on my hands and knees, hunting
around the patio furniture.

Not when I could be on my hands and knees for him…
I smile, unable to keep the delighted beam off my face. Moving in with
Saint is a major step, but already, it feels like home here, with him. And after
everything we’ve been through in the past months, all the suspicion and
doubt, it’s a relief to finally be able to breathe easy and know everything is
finally settled and—
There’s a sudden rattling noise, from the far end of the garden, then the
skitter of footsteps. I freeze.
Somebody’s there.
“Hello?” I call out, trying to stay calm.
There’s no reply, as I edge closer, peering into the dark. Maybe an
animal’s trapped there, or has built some kind of nest—
“Shhh, don’t scream.”
A voice emerges from the dark, so familiar that I swear I’m hearing
things.
It can’t be…
Then the intruder steps out of the shadows, and my heart stops beating in
my chest.
“No…” I whisper, standing there in total disbelief.
“Yes. Tessa, it’s me,” the ghost replies.
But somehow, it’s not a ghost. It’s not a dream. Because the woman I’m
staring at, I’ve known since the first day I drew breath. I would recognize her
anywhere, even skulking in the shadows with dyed hair and anxious eyes, a
year after I wept at her funeral and said goodbye for the last time.
Not dead. Not gone. Here.
My sister.
“Wren?” I stutter, frozen in place. Blood pounds in my ears, and I feel
like I’m going to pass out. “How? How is this possible—”
“Shh!” She grabs my hand and yanks me into the shadows, sending a
fearful look towards the house. “Keep your voice down. We don’t have
long.”
“But… I don’t understand…”
I stare at her, still not sure this is real. How can this be real? “You’re
dead,” I blurt, gripping her arm. I clutch her, my legs weak. “You died, Wren.
You walked into the water, and left a note, and never came back. What are
you doing here? How could you—?”
“I said quiet!” Wren hushes me again. “We can’t talk here,” she says,
already pulling away from me. “I’m sorry, I know this is a lot, but there isn’t
time to explain. Meet me tomorrow.”
“What? Wren, no—” I try to hold on to her, like this is a dream that I’ll
wake from, but Wren wrenches back.
“I’m sorry, Tessa, but you have to trust me,” she says, glancing around
again. Skittish. Afraid. “Tomorrow, two o’clock. There’s a pub in Hackney
called the Two Hearts. I’ll be there. I’ll explain everything, I swear.”
I stare at her, open-mouthed, still numb with shock.
“But Tessa, you can’t tell anyone,” Wren whispers urgently. “Not even
Saint. Especially not Saint. Promise me.”
I shake my head dumbly. “Wren, no. This is crazy. Just come inside. We
can talk—”
