Ghost — Episode 5

You look guilty. Have you been up to something, Shani? My face went pale, and I didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, Lily's mom stepped in just in time to save me. Watch your tone. Chloe is my guest.

Come on, Ethan. I only mentioned her name once, and you already remembered it. Could it be you are into her? I gave her a light slap, exasperated. No way.

To my surprise, Ethan chimed in with the same word at the same moment. Amid the laughter and commotion, I kept my head down and said nothing. I didn't even notice that when Ethan looked at me, his eyes narrowed slightly without him realizing it.

Lily's had a slight fever these past couple of days, so she's been resting at After I finished trimming the lawn by the front door, I was just about to head over to Lily's place to see if she needed anything. As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Lily's mom walking out of the building across the street,

holding a folder. Out of politeness, I instinctively asked her how things were going. It's all that Ethan's fault. He left in such a rush that he forgot the tactical manual he needs for training.

I was just about to take it over to him. I don't know what's gotten into him today. He's usually not this scatterbraided. Lily's had a cold these past couple of days,

and I think I'm starting to feel a little under the weather too. Seeing how unwell she looked, my hands acted before my brain could catch up.
