“Okay. Thank you. I’ll leave you both to it.” Without waiting for a response, Avery turned and left the room. He had a lecture to prepare for, and he didn’t want to keep Michael and Sam from any conversation they needed to have.
“Hey, Avery. Wait up.”
Avery paused in the middle of the lobby and turned back as Sam jogged to catch up.
“Hi, Sam. I didn’t mean to interrupt.”
“You didn’t. I wanted to talk to you about something.” Sam chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. “First ghostwalk is in a few minutes. I haven’t done the group thing sinceIwas in training.”
Avery nodded. He remembered his own training sessions and how nervous he’d been as a trainee. Though he’d led one-on-one sessions in the intervening years, he’d never led a group ghostwalk.
“You’ll be fine.” Avery tried his best to sound encouraging. “From what I hear, you’re great at helping ghostwalkers. I’m sure this will be no different.”
Sam grimaced. “Maybe not. But…are you busy?”
