    About this ebook

    When Alison closes up her fashion boutique for the night, a chance encounter with Peter, the security guard, changes her life forever.

    Peter is used to people looking straight through him, but when Alison engages in conversation he's faced with the dark realisation that she is just like him.

    A short ghost story with a heartwarming twist.
