I gave them a little bit of background information on me<br />
right there, telling them about my job and where I went to school<br />
and that I lived very close by. <strong>The</strong>y in turn told me that Daisy<br />
worked for a florist and Richard was a dental hygienist. Go figure,<br />
right?<br />
Once all the mugs had been emptied, we all stood up to say<br />
goodbye. <strong>The</strong> directors of the paranormal group both shook my hand<br />
again and congratulated me. Daisy said she would look forward to<br />
seeing me on Saturday, and then they said farewell to Tucker, too.<br />
After they departed for their vehicle, I reached into my<br />
pocket to fish out my keys, but Tucker interrupted my search when<br />
he threw his arms around me. “Congrats, Chels!” I think he tried to<br />
lift me off the ground, but it didn’t work out, so he settled for<br />
swinging me from side to side excitedly.<br />
“Help! Assault!” I squealed sarcastically as I pretended to<br />
try and wiggle away. Really, I was just as excited as he was. I could<br />
barely believe I’d actually just had that conversation, and they were<br />
all congratulating my membership to a ghost hunting organization.<br />
Seriously. Ghost. Hunting. And me. In the same group.<br />
He laughed and let me go, then reached into his own pocket.<br />
A glance at his phone told him the time. “It’s only 8:30. Do you<br />
want to come over for a little bit?”<br />
My heart thudded hard into my ribs. We hadn’t been to<br />
Tucker’s place since the very first time we kissed. Whenever we<br />
hung out, it was always in public or at a stranger’s house for an<br />
investigation. <strong>The</strong> prospect of being alone with him, with no one<br />
else around, was even more exciting than my acceptance into LHPR.<br />
“I guess I don’t have anything better to do.” I rolled my eyes<br />
upwards coyly, trying to look bored.<br />
Tucker bent over in a mock bow. “Oh, thank you, Princess,<br />
for taking time to grace me with your presence.”<br />
I fell right into the role. “You are most welcome, lowly<br />
commoner. I also give you permission to carry me down the street<br />
to your house. I am most exhausted from my long day of looking in<br />
the mirror and brushing my hair.” I flipped said hair over my<br />
shoulder dramatically.<br />
