"You have to stop it, Kylie."

"At first Kylie didn't see anything, then her gaze shifted lower to the ground and locked onto a pair of eyes—eyes that glowed golden in the night's obscurity."

"What happened?"

"Hearing Burnett speak lessened the emotional lump in Kylie's throat."

"Della raised her nose in the air."

"An hour later and she hadn't had a lick of sleep yet."

"Kylie crossed her fingers that this whole mess could somehow have a good ending to it—that the only think nasty to come out of it would be her sore ass."

"A part of Kylie wanted to push the letter back across the desk."

"The sound of twigs being crushed underfoot told Kylie her com-pany stood behind her."

"What are you doing here?"

"Nothing is bad," Kylie answered Derek, and desperately tried not to emit any hormones or emotions that might have gone sailing in the air when her gaze locked on him."

"Hey!"

"Mom."

"Derek?"

"His question ran across all sorts of nerves and not the good ones, either."

"Kylie opened her mouth to scream, but neither air nor words came out."

"Burnett made Kylie go over what happened several times."

"Later, after Derek walked her back to her cabin in an uncomfort-able silence, Kylie decided to go to bed early."

"After Kylie had given her mattress a good beating, she got dressed, apologized to Socks for acting silly, and left her cabin in search of Holiday."

"He's really doing it, isn't he?"

"The knock sounded on her bedroom door not three minutes af-ter she crawled into her bed and pulled the covers over her face and continued to cry."

"That afternoon, Kylie decided to skip the picnic dinner at the swimming hole."

"Kylie frowned and shook Selynn loose."

"Her mom looked down."

"Well, if it isn't the ghost girl."

"Kylie felt as if seltzer ran through her veins."

"Confusion filled his expression."

"How do I make it stop?"

"Kylie gaped at the screaming redheaded girl locked in the big purple cage in the middle of Miranda's room."

"Kylie got to Derek's cabin a minute later."

"Kylie wasn't sure who it was who said you couldn't go home again."

"Sara opened her eyes."

"Kylie's heart stopped when she saw the body against her windshield."

"Fighting the pull to move back into her body, Kylie swung around and flew back the way she'd come."

"Kylie's heart squeezed."
