I hugged her, tears running down both of our cheeks now. She believed me, and that was all I needed. I decided to tell her everything that had happened these past months. I’d tell her about how I saw Mia murdered, how she had haunted me, and how she got justice. I’d tell her about Dimitri and how he had fixed and broken my heart at the same time. I’d tell her how he and Ethan faded away, like a memory.

A big shoutout to my grandma, Edith May, Grossberg, without which this book wouldn’t have been written. I guess it is time to thank you for telling me lots of scary ghost stories when I was a child. Without these stories I would probably not have let my imagination run wild and never written this book.
Another shoutout to my sister, Shani Charlotte Grossberg, for inspiring me to write Charlotte. Oh, and I probably have to mention your dog, Litsie-amore, as well…
Nerine Dorman, thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to edit my novel. I don’t know what I would have done without you.
