Based on Robert’s response during our last visit, I figured I’d never get an opportunity to talk to him again. I would have to deal with Elaina myself. Rather than continue to follow Robert , I decided to start tailing Elaina. But unlike Robert, she could detect my presence; making following her much harder….
I could only guess what happened when I left the room. Later, I could hear Robert’s low snores and I knew that Elaina wasn’t asleep. As dawn approached, she finally rose off the bed and headed to the basement. I didn’t waste any time. I needed to visit Robert in the spiritual realm again. …
Robert was re-reading the article when Elaina finally walked in. She immediately picked up that something had changed. Her eyes went from me to Robert, then back to me. “Listen to this…” Robert said and preceded to read the article to Elaina. “Can you believe that someone actually died here?” He asked when he was…

Although Robert was basically rejecting Elaina’s advances for now, I knew that it wouldn’t last long. It would only make her more aggressive. I wouldn’t be able to relax for even a moment. If I was sent here to safeguard this man, that’s exactly what I intended to do. Elaina occupied the guest room, no…
“Is that an invitation?” Elaina asked in response to Robert’s question . She was dripping wet as if she had been standing in the rain for a while. I had the impression that she was outside when Annie was here. Did she realize that I was trying to get them back together? “Of course,…
So far, my planned worked. When Robert arrived home, Annie was sitting in the rocking chair on the porch. He hesitated there in the pouring rain. He finally climbed the porch; staring at Annie the whole time, most likely trying to figure out why she was there. Without a word, he indicated that…
