Oscar did not want to play games with Eliza.
He took her to their bar, and Josephine looked at him because even now as hostess she had bartending intuition. Oscar gave Josephine a generous smile, that was far from how he had felt.
Eliza had not observed the exchange, and when he told her about Sally she looked like the wind was knocked out of her. Her response to him startled him.
“So basically you made her appear out of the thin air—you are a magician!” she burst into harsh laughter.
She sat back on her stool, and clapped her hands before she picked up her scotch.
Oscar studied her face, as he ran his hands over his.
“It felt like that almost, I was not expecting her and then there she was.” He looked at her sheepishly.
“And she still has the same effect over you,” Eliza nodded. “So now I have to share you with her.”
Oscar stilled. He could not read Eliza at all, she came off as flippant but she did not seem upset. She had survived Polly after all, and now along comes Sally.
Sally who texted him now—he did not want to play games with her either, and had told her about Eliza. Sally had shrugged,
“I am always a complication for you,” she had sighed. “But we can’t seem to stay apart either.”
Did you tell Eliza? Does she want to meet? To see that I am not a ghost? You make it seem like she might think I am a ghost?
“Is that her?” Eliza pointed to his phone.
He nodded.
“She wants to meet up with you, to show you…she is not a ghost. I told her all about us and how unbreakable we have been, when we should have broken a thousand times already.”
“Unbreakable.” She stared at him for a long time, her hand on his. “She can come, your ghost can meet us…”
