The blond from the House of Mirrors. She's not screaming, but throwing marigolds into the dunk tank. The tank never had sand at the bottom of it, but he's too distracted by the girl.
"Miss me, Gabriel?"
He knows his body does, even if his memory can't. He wants to touch her hair, kiss her face. He's so close he can smell her before he realizes it. He tells her "Happy Halloween".
She smiles, a little sad. "I know. I'm a day early. I couldn't wait, though."
He wakes up, feeling haunted.
Tomorrow he'll leave a Slush-O on the beach.
