Without question, the hardest part about being a fake ghost was
crafting the origin story. Ashley Hale—who was very much alive—learned
that on the first day of haunting the lighthouse on the little island off the
shore of Loon Lake. Jilted Bride felt too trite, and no one could do that
narrative better than Dickens. Without the tired cliche, however, she came
up empty. Her ideas were too modern for a supposedly early-twentiethcentury spirit.
Hauntings didn’t just happen. And yet, the trauma of the event should be
opaque to the actual phantom. Once the ghost understood their existence on
the ephemeral plane, wouldn’t said soul fly away? Unless some unfinished
business needed to be reconciled first.
Ashley should be able to invent something. After all, she was living
through an unresolved problem of her own, and she was looking right at
him through the smudged, single-pane window.
Her estranged husband strolled along the perfectly maintained lawn of
the historic Queen Anne revival lakeside resort. The white siding gleamed
crisp and clean. Green shutters and a cedar shingle roof only added to the
pristine appearance. The Inn at Loon Lake was her family legacy.
Her family’s. Hers. Not his. Marriage hadn’t granted him blood rights.
Nevertheless, he strolled along on a sunny June afternoon exchanging
pleasantries with the guests as if nary a worry weighed him down.
Christopher’s toothy grin remained firmly in place, like a mayoral
candidate on the campaign trail. She hated the way his smile curled her toes
and electrified her skin. As much as she tried to loathe him over the years,
she’d never succeeded. She’d loved him first, and she’d adore him forever.
He was her weakness. Ten years ago, she’d learned a hard truth. She’d
never be his choice.
The resort wasn’t his to claim yet. She had time. Xavier, her father, had
waxed poetic about the family legacy for as long as she could remember.
But, in the end, he hadn’t cared about the typical blood relations’ first
inheritance. She shouldn’t have been surprised.
Dad’s backtracking had frustrated her for years. Although Dad had
initially railed against her marriage, he had come to consider Christopher
his son and his professional right hand.
When Ashley wanted to leave after
college, Dad promised her a role as an apprentice. Within six months,
however, it became clear that Dad wanted to train her husband, not her.
Frustrated at not being given a serious role in the organization, she told her
husband she wanted to leave.
She didn’t have a plan but that never mattered. Her detail-oriented
spouse always figured out boring details like food and shelter. Except, he
didn’t want to go.
She figured he would follow if she made good on her
departure, and, determined to show Dad what he would lose with her
absence, she had struck out. Too quickly, she realized she was on her own.
After his untimely death, Dad had left the property to either Ashley or
