Chapter 61

“All because of your gift, the letters from you and Bro-ham, I think.” Goose went on to explain about our ghostly wedding crashers. “Thank you so much.” Then, he got the others, Rip and Carrie, to set everything up, so they could see, or at least hear one side of what was happening.

“My mother went to Mae’s room to get her,” I relayed, back by Goose’s side, where I always wanted to be. “Mae was pretty worn out. ‘My age is suddenly catching up with me,’ she said, according to Mom. The others convinced her to lie down. We’ll get on with it in a bit.”

Carrie told me about a group chat called WhatsApp. It had video capability she and Nami both used with friends. While they talked me through the download and setup, Goose and Jefferson spoke about moving forward, interrupted only briefly when Goose reminded me to include Steve.
