Playing Hooky (Paranormal Investigations) - Plot & Excerpts
My heart sinks at those words. I stare out the window, watching the snow-filled landscape flash by—trees sheathed in ice, two snowmen dressed in cheerful hats and scarves, quiet farmhouses with lights dancing in their windows. I glance over at her, and her lips are pressed into a thin line. “Emma, I—” “All these years, you’ve been lying to me.” “I’m me. I’ve always been me.” If she walks away from me now, it would destroy me. “We went fairy hunting by the river, but we never found anything,” she accuses. “They hid from us.” “But you found them on your own?” “I guess they liked my charming smile.” I give her my biggest, goofiest grin, but when she looks away without a smile, my heart sinks into the pit of my stomach. “My mom said I had to keep it secret.” My voice is nothing more than a hoarse whisper. “It wasn’t safe for me to tell anybody. Not even you.” “Why?” Her voice is calm and steady. Does that mean she’s not mad? Or is that the quiet before the storm?
