Poor Mary! :( Her emotions are getting intense, and having such torturous dreams affecting her sleep can’t help. I do love her bedspread pattern though. :blush: When I was younger I had similar blankets and bedspreads and I collected all sorts of astrological and celestial things.
Yay! She has finally contacted Liam! Mary is certainly a unique and special case. I’m glad he is going to try to help her and am looking forward to see what he discovers.
Jaime may be running late, but Damien is still on the case. His library research and the review of the HSPD case report turned up some interesting information. It’s sure to give him a lot to ponder, especially the discrepancies between the findings and the evidence. Shoddy investigation or a deliberate cover-up? :confounded: Inquiring minds want to know! :p
AHH! It’s the Return of the Ghost Gnomes! Damian may not be pleased by their return from the deep woods, but I am. :mrgreen: They just seem to belong, and the Fates apparently agree! :lol:
I'm glad that Damian is willing to try to help the ghosts and solve their cases so they might have a chance to move on. Seems like another good reason why the Fates must be allowing him to stay. ;)
What a beautiful sunset scene—I love the contrast of that fiery sky against the snowy mountain peaks and the reflections of both in the water! :love:

I’m glad Mary had a more restful night. Perhaps knowing Liam is going to try to help her has eased her mind somewhat. And like Mary, I’m also excited to hear what insights Liam may have to offer.
Running away again, Mary? Try as you might, you cannot elude Damien forever! :p
Damien seems to have such a strong friendship with Jamie, which is so good to see. I’m glad we finally got to “meet” him. :)
It’s also relieving to know that Jamie is about getting rid of wicked ghosts and not just haphazardly zapping them all. :mrgreen: And his conversation with Betty was hilarious! She seemed so insulted by him insinuating Mary was a poltergeist that she sure let him have it! :joy: But Jamie stood his ground as it pertains to Damien’s safety. Considering all the problems Damien will likely face, it’s good to know he has someone who has his back.
Ah, Betty is right, Mary. The house really isn’t yours. Although I do understand Mary’s desire to keep others away from her place of refuge and preserve at least some semblance of safety in light of all that has befallen her. Being able to trust again must be so difficult for her, especially after Kerry’s cruel and deadly deception. :cry:
But not everyone is evil and vindictive like Kerry and the other girls, or as careless as those who handled Mary’s case and denied her justice. Hopefully in time she will come to see that there are more people wishing to help rather than harm her. And not only Emmaline and Liam—whom she has sought help from—but also Damien... if only she would let him!
You’re a willful lass, Mary! But I do believe you’ve met your match in Damien, and I don’t see him giving up on you. <3
Great chapters, @bekkasan
