Stephen's POV
Present Day
I couldn't believe that Scarlett could see me! Much less talk to me! I had been sitting at the kitchen table, trying to figure out how many fireplaces we needed for the remodel (I settled on four, as there were six in my day) when I heard the key turn in the lock. I remained still, unsure of who it would be. I didn't want to potentially scare Scarlett by moving things around. When Scarlett entered the room, she looked me in the eye and smiled.
"Hello there, I'm Scarlett," she said, holding out her hand to shake, "I'm Charlotte's friend. It's great to meet you!" I took her hand in mine, and was stunned to find that I was able to hold it the way I held Charlotte's. That had never happened before!
