Excerpt: "Who but us would come here in this storm? The light keeper's ghost?" Normally I would've appreciated his fanciful notion, but standing there just then it didn't seem quite so farfetched. "Come on; you're more likely see a fox or a squirrel." "Not in this storm." "Maybe they need a dry place to wait it out." My eyes scanned the dark outline of the round room since there were no corners. "There are no varmints as far as I can tell," I announced in relief. "You're shivering." He began rubbing his hands briskly up and down my arms to warm me, but it only added to my discomfort. My tremors weren't from the cold-something much more powerful and stimulating had a hold on me. Andrew was standing too close-towering over me and invading my personal space in a way that felt intimate, like lovers. "I'm not cold," I said abruptly, drawing away from him. He took my hand and led me toward the circular staircase that led to the top of the tower. Funny how we'd held hands like that a million times before and it never had it affected me as much as it did that night.
