spirit lingered, and if so, where.
    “What are you doing?” Garth asked.
    “Just checking to see if she’s hiding out here, observing. It’s sometimes quite a surprise for a spirit when they realise that I can see them.” Did the ghost have a bolthole, a favourite place to hide? “Did you say you felt her mostly on the ground floor?” She glanced over her shoulder only to find both men inches from her back.
    “Yes,” Garth replied, and Jai nodded.

    That might be the case but the ghost was gone, well and truly vanished into the ether—for the time being at least, shocked by her own visibility to a live person. Meanwhile, two much more immediate entities demanded her attention.
    Faye turned towards the two men and rested her back against the wooden banisters.
    Both of them were close at hand, and they were looking at her the way they had been when the discussion about threesomes had been launched minutes before. As her eyes grew accustomed to the gloom in the hallway she noticed how intense they both looked, exchanging the occasional glance as if silently conferring. Was it her imagination or was that what they were doing? Was their bond of friendship strong enough? She wished she had her sister Holly’s knack for gauging people’s motives. Holly was much more gifted in that department than she or Monica.
    Jai leaned closer to her. “Do you think she’ll come back, now that she knows you can see her?”
    “I’d say we give it a few hours. Once she gets used to the idea she’ll either find it appealing or she’ll get angry, depending on her character.”
    Jai gave her a slow, seductive smile and looked at her in a way that made her body heat with arousal, almost as if he had touched her.
    “A few hours, huh.” He stepped closer, wrapped his hand around the wooden strut at her side, then stroked her hair through his fingers with his free hand, following the line of her bob down to where it curved beneath her chin. Garth, meanwhile, had a brooding look about him that said more than words. The man wanted to touch her the way his partner had.
    Faye grew dizzy with the sheer erotic potential. Both men had their attention locked on her, as if they’d barely been distracted from the sexy banter by her wispy encounter with a being from the past, and appeared to be waiting to resume their intimate conversation about threesomes. Had they done this before, she wondered. Had she fallen into the ideal situation to live out that fantasy that had rolled through her mind and body for the last year?
    Jai seemed to be all for it. Garth held back a tad more, and she sensed he was still disgruntled that Jai hadn’t left earlier. Nevertheless, the brooding passion in his eyes assured her he might be interested in playing along, Jai or no Jai.
    “Hey Garth,” Jai said, as if grabbing the moment and moving things along, “perhaps we can take the rest of the wine up to your apartment and chill out there for a while.”

    On her earlier tour she’d seen the place was open plan, with a bed so handy it was blatantly suggestive. “I can pop back down later if I sense her lurking about.”
    Jai moved his fingers from her hair to her neck, and stroked her there, making an intimate connection. He spoke without taking his attention away from her. “I think it sounds like a great idea, don’t you, Garth?”
    Tension emanated from the spot where Garth stood.
    For a moment she thought he would say no, then he reached for her hand.
    Her heart tripped a beat.
    Clasping her hand tightly in his, he nodded. “Allow me to lead the way.”

    Garth couldn’t quite believe it. He’d scarcely welcomed his companions into his private apartment space at the top of the building and Jai had managed to get Faye into his arms. Garth had been ready to play along, to let her know he was every bit as interested as Jai,
