Mary Kendall, A Ghost Story
A Kiss Remembered
Jamie and the house ghosts have a great time at the winter festival. Jamie is soaring and learning to do several tricks on the snowboards without falling and injuring himself. The ghosts enjoy the various winter activities and very few of the townspeople at the festival were frightened of them.

The ghosts are hungry and Jamie is as well. Breakfast was a long time ago, and all they had since was delicious snack food at the party. The food booths are closed at the festival. Jamie decides they will all go to the local diner rather than go back and cook. He is not a good cook and it has been a fun day and he doesn't want to head home and work. He texts Damien and invites him and Mary to join them at the diner for a late supper.

Damien reads the text from Jamie and talks to Mary about going to the diner. "Are you hungry? The others are going to the diner to eat and would like us to join them."
Mary takes a deep breath as she recalls her decision a few moments ago to live fully. She nods her head. "Yes, I'd love to hear how much fun they had at the festival."
Damien smiles and he cannot resist. He hugs her to him.
The ghosts turn the jukebox on and with the permission of the manager move a few tables and dance while they wait for their meals. Betty gets Jamie to dance and teaches him how to swing dance. Damien and Mary watch and try to follow Betty's instructions laughing as they make a few mistakes before getting the hang of the dance. They enjoy a delicious and fun meal and Jamie leaves a big tip that makes the manager and wait staff very happy for working on Snowflake Day.

Back home Jamie and Damien place the gnomes outside and the ghosts return to them after thanking Jamie and Damien for a fun Snowflake day. Damien is greeted by Lia who demands some attention after being left alone all day.
Jamie senses less fear and anxiety in Mary and observed her closely while they were at the diner. He watched his buddy Damien as well and knows he has lost his heart completely. He is not quite sure about Mary. "So, how was your day Miss Mary?" he asks with his customary charm.
"It was the best Snowflake day since I was a little girl. I cannot thank you and Damien enough for making it a special day for the house ghosts and myself." Mary looks over at Damien who is petting the cat and her face softens as she looks at him.
Jamie watches her and smiles with satisfaction.
"Goodnight Jamie. Goodnight Damien. Thank you again for a wonderful day."
Damien smiles up at Mary as he continues petting Lia who is purring loudly by now. "I will see you in the morning. I'm fixing fresh pancakes for breakfast.", he teases her and Jamie. "Don't be late!"
Mary floats up the stairs to her room rather than through the ceiling.
Damien continues hugging and petting Lia who seems to need the attention this evening. He tells Jamie about skating with Mary and her breakthrough moment when they fell on the ice.
"I felt less fear and anxiety in her this evening, so the fall was a blessing in her finally accepting her fate. You seem to be content with how things are between you."
"I guess I'm better at hiding it from you than I thought I would be. I love her Jamie. I need her to be mine more than I've ever desired anything in my life. I love Mary as she is right now, a ghost. It doesn't matter to me what she is. I hope she will come to love me as well. I fear it is too soon for her, though. We only have a few more weeks of winter. I don't want to rush things and frighten her away. I'll stay her friend and pray she will fall in love with me as I am with her."
Jamie looks concerned as he watches Damien petting the cat. "Yes, she needs a friend, but she needs to know how you feel too. You can be both. She's shy and is not going to make the first move. I know that about shy girls, trust me!"
"I did kiss her under the mistletoe." Damien smiles in remembrance. "It was just a little kiss and she didn't back off or run away. We went skating after that and laughed and chased each other. We had a great time together and Mary seemed very relaxed and happy to be with me."
"Good, just keep working your way into her heart. How can she not love you?", Jamie teases him. "Goodnight, don't stay up all night working or worrying."
"I won't! Thanks for the advice, Jamie. You are right about her being shy and not making a move first."

Mary changes into her warm long johns, lights a fire, and sits in the rocker contemplating the day and how her life has changed this winter. I don't want to be an angry, bitter ghost anymore. I don't want to be the shy, awkward, geek I was at university either. What do I need to be? I have a chance to become something more than I've been. A better person, well a better ghost.
Mary closes her eyes as she rocks. She sees Damien's smiling face with his tender eyes gazing at her in concern. His smile warms me inside and out. What does that mean?
Her body relaxes as she keeps his image in her mind. I am actually content with who I am right this minute. I might be a little unsure but I am a ghost with a new chance at life. I have new friends that I trust and old friends like Emmaline and the house ghosts who were loyal no matter what I did. Hmm, maybe I can help Damien with his work so they can be free. I will always be a geek because science and knowledge are important to me and I'm okay with that. Being a geek could help him with his research. I can work on the shy thing by being friendly to others even if they start out a little scared of me. I would have been frightened of a ghost too. That should help my social awkwardness as well. Maybe I can get Damien to stand under the mistletoe. I will have to watch him closely while we are downstairs together. She falls asleep as she rocks dreaming about the kiss Damien gave her under the mistletoe.
