"Why did I agree to this" Josh muttered to himself.

Josh glanced into the mirror and almost felt so close to grabbing the phone and calling Heather to cancel. He's been reaching over to his phone about 10 times right now before sighing and dropping it back onto his bed. Josh glanced down to his hands covered in blisters from digging all day; his muscles were still slightly strained. He sighed once again and looked back up to his reflection with pleading eyes that he couldn't ignore.

Trying to bring Sally back wasn't as easy to his bank account as he first thought it would be. It was Boston and he's had plenty of run in's with vampires, werewolves, and ghosts alike so how hard was it of find a psychic? Just as his hope was starting to dwindle and Josh was going insane with how quiet the house was, a woman directed him over to Donna who seemed to know what she was talking about. But then again, they all sounded confident in their craft only just to cheap shot him into buying something from their shop.

Josh rubbed his eyes with his now rough hands, "What am I doing? I don't even know if this will work"

"When are you going to be more open to the world around you?" Aidan would say.

"When the sky turns green" Sally would joke.

Josh's phone rang, making him jump up, "Hello? Sally? Or is this Aidan? Please tell me it's one of you guys. Who is this?"

"Were you expecting someone else?" Heather's voice went through.

"I'm sorry" Josh let out, "They're just friends and I haven't seen them in a long time"

"Did they run away or something?"

Josh felt his breath get lodged into his throat as he realized what he was about to do. He sat down on a chair and leaned back until his head hit the wall.

"Somewhat like that" Josh finally answered.

"I'm sorry to hear that" Heather replied. "Maybe we should reschedule?"

"Reschedule?"

Josh opened his eyes as he remembered how many times he had used those words to avoid the truth. Now that he was human again, he didn't really have an excuse to say those words… even though sometimes he desperately wanted to.

"It's alright if you say yes"

"Why do you think I would cancel?"

"You just sound very stressed and tired"

"How about we just make lunch into an ice-cream outing?"

Heather blinked as she felt slightly shocked at Josh changing the outing around. She didn't mind but she felt like there was something that has been bothering him for a long time.

She looked outside and just started to ponder on what her decision should be. She didn't want Maria to meet Josh and then immediately not like him. But then again, Josh was the only person that she knew as of right now even though she had moved to Boston some time ago. She knew in her gut that Stu would've wanted her to get to know Josh well.

"Do you want to meet in an hour?" Heather asked.

"Are you sure, Heather?"

"Do you hear me backing out, Josh?" Heather let out a small laugh, "I don't live far from the elementary school so I'm going to walk there. Do you know any good ice-cream parlor's around there? I know this sounds pretty bad but I don't know that many attractions around here. I haven't really been out much"

More like because Maria refused to go out and want to go sightseeing all summer. She was pretty upset about moving into another state with no friends in Boston. Luckily, Maria is a very friendly girl when it comes to kids around her age. It's only been three months into the semester and she can't stop going on and on about her new friends.

"I'm sure I can think of a great place" Josh promised, "I'll take you and Maria to my favorite ice-cream parlor in the entire city"

Heather couldn't help but smile at Josh's promise as she felt some sort of light come on inside of her. It felt great to finally have someone in Boston that she could relate to in her present and past.
