It was stupid and Sass knew that. Sam’s cousin had no idea she could talk to ghosts, meaning she didn’t even know he existed. Even if she did, she can’t see or hear him. Yet he couldn’t help being utterly and completely smitten by her the moment she walked into Woodstone Manor.

Trevor snickered, elbowing him. “You should take a picture, it’ll last longer.” “Oh, shut up, Trevor.” The Lenape male grumbled. “Leave him be, Trev. I think it’s sweet that he has a crush.” Pete said with a soft chuckle.

That caused Sass to immediately go red in the face. “I don’t have a crush!” “Whatever you say, Sass.” The former Scoutmaster said in a cheery tone.

“Okay, maybe I do. But it doesn’t matter. Even if she knew Sam’s secret? She can’t see or hear me. So I don’t have a chance with her.” Sass said dejectedly.
