Bekka arrives back home and Jamie is sitting on the sofa petting Sari. She plops down on the love seat next to him sighing softly. “The clients liked my designs, so I have another job lined up that I’m excited about. I’m glad to be back home, though.”
Sari greets Bekka with a nose bump and jumps down as Rani bounces into the room. She chases the kitten around the room and then the Rani turns around and pursues her. Jamie and Bekka laugh at the antics of the adorable cats.
Bekka feels some of the tenseness flow out of her as she watches her cats play. She looks over at Jamie and realizes he is looking at her rather than at the cats.

“You seem a little tense. Do you want to talk about it?” Jamie reaches out to put his arm around her. He can feel she is relaxing as she watches the cats play. He scoots closer to her and gently massages her back as he waits to see how she answers his question. She does not pull away, so he enjoys giving her a relaxing back massage.
Bekka feels the last of her emotional turmoil ease as Jamie strokes her back.
“Mmm, that feels so good Jamie!" She arches her back like a cat as it is petted. "Dr. Pena asked about Josh and one thing led to another in talking with her. I felt it was time to forgive myself and him. But yeah, I’m still a little stressed from the discussion. I really think I’ll be fine. I feel better just being home, watching the cats and talking with you. How are you? Did you get some sleep?”
“I'm glad you were able to talk about it and take that step.” He looks into her eyes and seems satisfied with what he sees. “I did take a nice nap and am rested. I woke up with Sari curled up next to me.”
“Sari is a wonderful cuddler and loves to sleep. I’m glad you got some rest. You work again tonight?”
“Yes, I won’t be off until Friday.”
“Oh, I almost forgot, I had a text from Damien and one from Mary this afternoon. Damien’s asked me to come by tomorrow afternoon to meet with y'all. I had texted him that the proposal was ready. I texted him back that I would be there. Mary said they were having a wonderful time and that she looks forward to seeing me tomorrow as well.”
“Good, that’s great! He texted me and told me to come home tomorrow morning. He wants to help me go through some of my books. I think he is anxious to discover something to help Mary resurrect. I’m just sorry I couldn’t figure out a way to send them off for a honeymoon but it was too dangerous for Mary to leave the area.”
“I’m certain they enjoyed their time together." She stands up stretching her arms after the back rub. "You are very good at back rubs. Thank you! I'll start fixing that supper I promised you.”
Jamie smiles, “Only if I can help.”

They work together fixing dinner. Jamie fixes the vegetables and a side salad while Bekka prepares cheesesteak sandwiches.They enjoy the meal even more having prepared it together. She entertains him with stories of some of the unusual requests from clients. He entertains her with stories of some of the strange ghost hunting jobs he has been on.

His phone starts ringing, and he looks at the display.
“Sorry, I need to answer this. It’s Liam from the science center and he only calls for emergencies. Usually, it is one of his assistants that schedules my jobs.” Bekka nods and cleans up the dishes and waits while Jamie talks with Liam.

“I’m so sorry. I had hoped we could have more time together before I had to go to work. Two spirits have trapped a family, and they cannot get out of the house. Are you sure you are going to be ok? I can call him back and have him send another hunter."
“I will be fine. I'm going to my Godmother's and spend some time with them. Please be careful,” she tells him. She knows he is very good at his job but will worry, nevertheless.
Jamie hugs her goodbye. "Call me or text if you need me. I'll come." Bekka nods.

Bekka rides across town to her Godparents house. The snow falls gently down as she winds her way down the mountain. Her Godmother is home but apparently not for long. She welcomes her with a loving hug. They talk briefly, and Bekka informs her about the visits with the counselor at the hospital.
“I’m proud of you for going. I wish I didn’t have this dinner to go to, so we could talk longer. Renauld is in the library upstairs, and I'm certain he would love to talk with you."

Bekka finds Renauld leaving the library. He hugs her to him and looks her over and smiles. "You seem happier, less serious and sad. Am I reading you right?"
"Yes, you are. I'm doing much better thanks to all of you for caring for me."
"We love you my dear and only want you to be happy. You will let me know if you have any more problems with anyone in your life?"
"Yes, I promise, you will be the first to know." Renauld nods and pats her shoulder.
"You are friends with that ghost hunting fellow right?”
“Yes.”
"What an interesting profession and life he must lead. Catarina and I have been going through some of our extensive records to see if we can discover anything to help Miss Mary. I found one book that they might be interested in looking through. Apparently one of my ancestors was married to a witch. It has some fascinating information about miraculous resurrections and reanimation rituals. Do you have time to get it to them? I have meetings scheduled back to back tomorrow. I don’t want to trust it to a courier.”
“Sure, I will be at the house tomorrow presenting my proposed renovations. Thank you so much for helping.”
“Renovating Spring Manor will be a great job for your company. We are so proud of you! I will continue looking. There is some interesting information in those historic records and some pretty boring stuff too! I can’t imagine why some of it was kept, but history is history.”

After arriving home Bekka relaxes in front of the glowing fire. The room soon warms and the chill from her ride home is gone. She pulls out her journal and looks at her list of words from today. Rose...safe...regret...stress...trust...strength...determination...joy...cheerful...excited...job...Josh...disappointed...sadness...anger...frustration...forgiveness...anxious...tense...Jamie...comfort… laughter...peace.
Most of the emotions are positive and are very volatile during the day. Some are brief, sparking in her heart and mind momentarily and then poof are gone and others linger longer and keep her heart and mind off balance. Of course a session with a psychiatrist brings out a variety of emotions as well. Her emotions centered around Jamie are very positive.
Bekka prays Jamie's job is going well and he rescues the family.
She sends a text to Mary apologizing for interrupting the honeymoon. She asks a question and Mary quickly texts back with an answer and a question of her own. Laughing at the question she texts Mary back answering with a few laughing emoji and ‘tell you tomorrow’. Bekka texts Jamie asking him if he would like to come for breakfast in the morning before he goes home. He responds quickly. "I'd love to have breakfast with you."
She adds hopeful to the list as well as love and family. She realizes that it is not just blood that makes family. It is love and she loves her Godfamily very much and is sorry she shunted them aside in her hurt and desire to be alone in her misery. She will not let that happen again. She is feeling so very hopeful for the first time in a long time for her future.
