I stopped and narrowed my eyes at Abby. тАЬAre you sure?тАЭ

тАЬOf course IтАЩm sure.тАЭ A quick smile darted across AbbyтАЩs face. тАЬAfter all, she hasnтАЩt said anything about
seeing any ghosts.тАЭ

I stopped my pacing. тАЬGhosts? Tink has been talking about ghosts?тАЭ

тАЬNo, she hasnтАЩt been talking about ghostsтАФIтАЩm teasing you. But remember, Tink is a medium, dear.
Lost souls will always be drawn to her.тАЭ

тАЬLike Great-Aunt Mary?тАЭ I didnтАЩt like where this conversation was leading.

Abby gave a small nod. тАЬYes.тАЭ

тАЬPeachy,тАЭ I grumbled, remembering AbbyтАЩs stories about growing up with a medium living in the same
home. тАЬAnd this focus and control sheтАЩs learning is going to prevent those тАШlostтАЩ from being drawn
straight to my house?тАЭ

тАЬYes,тАЭ Abby replied with confidence.

I scrubbed my face with my hands. Abby had always been more comfortable with our familyтАЩs heritage
of folk magick, healing, and various psychic talents. IтАЩd struggled most of my life trying to accept mine.
Would Tink grow into her talents? Or would she spend her life hiding her gifts from everyone, including
herself?

The ringing of my cell phone broke the silence and startled me out of my thoughts. Crossing quickly to
the kitchen table, I picked it up and answered.

тАЬCan you come get me right now?тАЭ asked Tink in a quiet voice.

Caught off guard by the suddenness of her request, I stumbled over my words. тАЬYeah, ah, sure.тАЭ I
looked at my watch. Nine oтАЩclock in the morning. Usually at a slumber party, the girls stayed up half the
night and then slept away most of the morning. Why was Tink up so early?

But before I could ask, the line went dead. Puzzled, I flipped my phone shut and looked at Abby.

тАЬTink wants me to pick her up now.тАЭ

тАЬThatтАЩs right. She spent the night at NellтАЩs, didnтАЩt she?тАЭ

I dropped my phone in my purse. тАЬYeah. A slumber party. Big deal, too. The three MтАЩs were going to
be there.тАЭ

тАЬThe three MтАЩs?тАЭ Abby asked, her voice perplexed.

I nodded. тАЬMandy Simpson, Mindy Jones, and Melinda Polaski. TheyтАЩre in the тАШinтАЩ crowd,тАЭ I said,
making quotation marks with my fingers. тАЬI was surprised Nell invited them. She never seemed to care
much about that kind of thing before, butтАжтАЭ I shrugged. тАЬWho knows with teenagers, right?тАЭ
