Some Old Lover’s Ghost
THE WOMAN WHO ANSWERED the door looked a little haggard, her thick dark hair straggling from a French braid down her back.
I said, Hi, I’m Helena Johnston.
She stared at me.
Paranormal Manifestation Services?
I prompted. You called me?
She laughed then, and it transformed her face from tired to glowing. She held out her hand, and I took it. Firm, cool grip. Long fingers. I’m sorry,
she said. Of course. I’m Beth Lopez. PMS—that’s fabulous.
Thanks,
