Predator And Prey Prowlers 3
““What?” Molly urged. “What did he say?”
He raised his eyes and she wondered in that moment if looking from the right angle she might not have seen Artie reflected there.
“Good-bye was a long time ago. I just didn’t hear it then.”
Molly’s right hand came up to cover her mouth as though she might scream. But it was not a scream she was trying to hold in, it was a plea to this ghost not to go, not to leave her. She knew those words would not be fair to either of them, for he was already gone.

“Thank you for that,” she said.
“I’m sorry about everything,” he said. “You know I am. I just . . . I promised him.”
Molly narrowed her eyes and was surprised at the bitterness she felt still within her.
