“Are you kidding?” she asked him. “The way I feel right now I’m going to have them admit me and keep me for a week.”
For a moment his expression slipped and she could see the effort it was costing him not to cry. Darcy had almost died this time. He had almost died. Helen, too, and how many others? No matter how the Chief and all the other people in town would try to rationalize what had happened, Jon and she would always know the truth. The Pilgrim Ghost had possessed Bonnie Verhault, tormented that poor woman until she had committed suicide and placed herself on Helen’s lawn. The same thing had almost happened to Helen. Not to mention how he had gotten into Darcy’s body and spirit as well.
“I’ll be all right,” she promised Jon. “Things will be better now. You’ll see.”
Darcy had no doubt that Nathaniel Williams had been at the core of a lot of Misty Hollow’s worst problems. How many good people had that one demonic spirit ruined? How different would things have been without him hanging around this town?
There was no way to know the answer to that one. The only thing they could do was pick up the pieces and move on. That, and be more careful in the future. If there had been one ghost hiding in the shadows of this town, there could be others.
“Sorry, folks, but we have to go,” one of the EMT’s said in a friendly but firm way.
Darcy didn’t want to let go of Jon’s hands, but she was already being rolled away.
As their fingers slipped apart he blurted out, “March twentieth. Okay?”
“What?” she said, straining to see him around the shoulders of the paramedic at the back of the stretcher. “What’s March twentieth?”
“The day we’re getting married.”
She was momentarily struck speechless. They had tried everything to come up with a day for their actual wedding and failed each time. To her, it had felt like he wasn’t really interested in a wedding at all. That was why she had offered to elope with him. Hearing him set a date made her heart leap in her chest.
“But…wait, wait. Why March twentieth?”
“Because it isn’t Valentine’s Day,” he said, moving through the crowds of people with the stretcher.
“But it’s so far away!” she complained.
With that lopsided smile of his that she loved so much, he made her a promise. “I’ll wait for you.”
The EMTs maneuvered the stretcher up into the ambulance, the metal supports collapsing under her as they locked in place. She had one last glimpse of Jon, then the doors to the ambulance closed, and she was on her way to the hospital. She was in pain, and exhausted, and even with all that she couldn’t help the smile that came over her.
They had a date. They were getting married.
Her life was perfect.
