(A/N) Don't kill me at the end.

"How is she?" I am surprised by his first question. I would had thought he would have asked how in the world Anna told me if she's been dead for years. I walk over to him and say,

"She's good." I simply say, not wanting to go into depth since I still worry he might have feelings for her. I know it would be awfully unlikely for him to, but still. Anna seemed to feel something for the older man, but I don't think she would ever want to be with him again, if that is even possible.

"I'm glad. I can imagine she is happy with you." It seems to slightly pain him to hear those words leave his lips, but somehow I manage not to pay much attention. Instead I just listen to the old man. "I tried keeping you from Anna, but I can clearly tell you have a fondness for her." I tilt my head to the side and ask,

"What do you mean you tried keeping Anna from me?" Charlie merely laughs, while shaking his head.

"I thought you would had caught onto me." I am still confused at what he is saying. I can not remember a time that he had tried to keep me from her, nothing seems to strike a memory as I think back.

"Stunning blonde comes out of nowhere and immediately falls head over heels for you, does that ring a bell?" There's only one girl that is coming to mind, but it couldn't be, could it? I mean, it would make sense, but I had really thought she cared deeply for me and wasn't faking it all.

"Jane? Jane was the detour?" He smiles and shakes his head 'yes'. I honestly cannot believe what I am hearing. So she was faking this whole time? Charlie done this to keep me away from Anna?

"Pretty clever if I say so myself. Sisters can come in handy sometimes," He laughs, shaking his head. Again, I am surprised. Jane is Charlie's sister? I mean I do vaguely remember Jane telling me about how her brother used to work at the Sexton House, but I could have swore she said he died.

"She's your sister? So you had her fake liking me to keep me away from your old fling with Anna?" I cannot believe what I am saying or hearing. He nods his head as I am still in shock, this is crazy.

"Except one thing, she was only faking in the beginning... She actually really cares about you now, but I guess you told her you had your eyes on another girl and I also guess my plan to keep you away from my old love failed." I still feel bad for ending whatever I had with Jane, but I couldn't lead her on while I was obviously falling in love with someone else.

"And I'm really sorry about that." I guess when she was faking it, It all felt real for me and I liked her, but as soon as she felt something for me I had already moved on.

"I understand. I'm glad you broke it off before she fell anymore in love with you." The 'L' word seems to hit me like a train. Yes, I knew she liked me, but loved? I felt like I barely knew her. How could she be in love with me?

You seem shocked." I nod my head and he seems to understand.

"Love is one of the most strangest and dangerous things this world offers. One can be madly in love with a person while the other is a oblivious to the ones affection." I take in the old geezers words and take them to heart. He is completely and utterly right about that. Jane and I proved that point together. As I continue to stand in front of Charlie, a thought comes to mind and I honestly can't believe I didn't think to ask him it earlier.

"Anna died like a hundred years ago, so how are you still alive? And Jane, how is she still alive?" I hadn't even thought how this was possible, I knew Anna was dead, but it never struck me that Charlie and Jane were too. This whole situation is so strange.

"Simple. We are both dead, just like Anna." Even though I expected him to say it, I am still shocked with his response. It's so odd how I have been around dead people ever since I arrived in Kentucky. Have I been around any alive people? Or just all ghost?

"So, am I like special? Like, I can see you, but no one else can?" I wonder how many dead beings I have encountered in my life? How many back home in New York? Or London?

"No Harry, everybody can see us, but just like you, not everyone realizes we are dead." I guess that would make sense, even though for a minute there I thought I had this gift where I could see the dead, but I guess not. After talking with Charlie for a little while longer about Anna and him just answering some of my never ending questions. I am now back home in the kitchen fixing dinner. The sun has set and it starts to rain. A smile finds its way to my lips and I can only hope Anna will join me tonight.

I continue to cook the spaghetti and put the toast in the oven waiting for the delicious garlic covered bread to brown to a golden color. While waiting for my meal to cook, I head towards my room to change into something a little more comfortable. After throwing on a black T-shirt and loose basketball shorts I proceed back towards the kitchen. Standing beside the oven stirring the noodles is Anna. She is humming a sweet melody. She is dressed in a short, thin white dress with small spaghetti like straps.

"You look stunning tonight." I comment, standing against the door frame, admiring her figure in that dress. She turns her head and smiles before looking down in embarrassment as her cheeks turn a shade of red, near the color of the sauce on the stove.

"Thank you." She mutters, not making eye contact. "You don't look too bad yourself." She compliments. I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her waist, while resting my head on her shoulder. I close my eyes as I cherish this peaceful moment with a beautiful girl. I know there will come a day when I won't be able to do this, but in this moment none of those negative thoughts matter.

"Would you like to listen to some music?" I ask, squeezing her sides slightly. She nods her head and I walk towards the radio that is located on the other side of the kitchen. I flip the channel until it lands on a slow song. I turn off the stove and grab Anna's hand before spinning her around. Her laughter fills the silent home; her laugh it so adorable it just makes me smile.

"I didn't know you could dance." She says, as I dunk her down. I quickly peck her lips before saying,

"When I was younger my mother made me go to dance lessons, she told me one day it would come in handy, but of course I still hated going." Anna giggles, saying,

"I can imagine seeing you in tights." I quickly protest and say I never wore them even though I did once.

We continue to sway back in forth as I softly hum to the tune of the song. Anna rests her head on my right shoulder, as the world around us fades away. It seems in this very moment it is only Anna and I in this life, no one to bother us, no one to tell us what is right or wrong, no worries about life or death. I am at pure bliss with this woman in my arms.

I grasp her forearm and lead her towards my room, still humming as I do so. Once in the space, Anna grabs both my hands and motions for me to dance with her, which I oblige. She twirls around in circles, making her dress shorter, as it spins around with her body. She stops in the midst of a spin and smiles at me with hair scattered upon her face, but she still looks stunning. I walk over to her, grabbing her arms and moving my head until my lips are at her ear.

"I love you." I softly whisper, pulling back to see her reaction. At first I'm worried when a blank stare is placed on her face, but soon she cracks a smile and whispers back,

"I love you too, Harry." My world brightens and my heart is racing as the lighting continues to strike outside. One thing lead to another and I find myself in bed with Anna, clothes scattered across my bedroom floor, candles lit, and yet I'm still surprised at how this incredible woman is in love with me too.

"Don't ever leave me..." I whisper into the dark, waiting for her reply.

"I won't."
