Lora is silent, though her eyebrow is very concerned. "So, at first it's something I've left behind. Now it's a ghost. Why have you called me here, Scott?"

Permalink

"Anders, can you- do something?"

Permalink

(Theo lets himself in.)

Permalink

Anders immediately pounces on Theo. "THEO SHE IS HERE WHAT DO I DO?!"

Permalink

"I don't have a solid plan here. I brought a Ouija Board in case you can touch that, but I'm not sure we can get her to sit that long. Let's go."

He heads to the basement.

Anders follows him, but is no less worried than before.

Permalink

Lora watches the newcomer walk in, clearly unimpressed.

Permalink

He puts the Ouija board down.

"I think it's strong emotion that does it. But we could also start with you telling me something only you would know."

Permalink

"He's talking to Anders. I can't see her, but Theo can."

Permalink

As soon as the name leaves Scott's mouth, Lora's entire demeanour changes. "Where did you hear that name?" She asks, in a voice like ice.

Permalink

"No, no, no, no, Lora! He's trying to help! Don't- Theo, please, she's always been quick to anger, just- what do I need to say? Tell me what do to?" Anders' eyes don't leave her wife's.

"Say something only she would know-anything."

Permalink

"She told us, she's right here. I know this is strange, but she's really here."

Permalink

"I...I don't know, I don't know what would convince her! There- there is so much I could say...I-" 

The pipes groan loudly, and the planchett on the ouija board shifts towards the 'L'. "Loooorraaaaa."

Permalink

"How the fuck do you know about her? Did...did you google me?"

Lora jumps as the pipes groan her name. "What- okay, what the fuck. What. The fuck- are the pipes...talking to me?"

Permalink

“That’s the ghost. She said her name was Anders, and that she wanted to talk to Lora.”

Permalink

“Lora, is there something that only Anders would know? Something that would convince you this is really happening?”

Permalink

Anders stands in front of her wife, tears streaming down her face. "Lo, it's me. It's me, I swear. Please."

Permalink

Lora shoots Theo and Scott one last furious look, ready to just storm out of there, back home, so she can look up the legality of kicking someone out of her house when- 
A little bit of raised hair. Where the tattoo used to be...

"What did I used to have tattooed on my shoulder?"

Permalink

Anders hand ghosts over the spot. "...she got it removed? Oh...Oh, Lo." She sounds devastated.

Permalink

"Anders, focus. Your wife is standing right in front of you and all you have to do to be with her is think about her. Remember her. What was her tattoo?"

Permalink

“...a cat. A ginger tabby and a big dog, curled around each other. It was supposed to be us. It- she got it done a year into our relationship. A sure thing, she called us.”

Anders’ hand reaches out to grab Lora’s, and her hands phase straight through.

Permalink

"A tabby cat and a dog, curled up around each other. They represented you and her."

Permalink

Lora gives Theo a long look. There's a battle in her head- she wants to believe Anders is still here somehow, but...god would that make her crazy? Hanging around, talking to the air, in the hope that one day the air talked back? She moved on. She...had, hadn't she?

"You might've seen an old photo of me. Or...something. What's my brother's middle name? Ask...ask Anders that."

Permalink

Anders can see Lora start to believe and her heart soars. "It's Brocklemeier. Because your mum had a great uncle that she admired, but you called him Broccoli the day you found out, because you are mean and a terrible tease," Anders says, voice hiccuping on sobs.
