Janie, also known as the Wailing Widow, was thinking. She was thinking really hard. She received her name because of how bad she reacted to her husband's death. Any good wife was supposed to react the way she did. She didn't mind the nickname; it simply showcased how devoted she was to her precious Devin. She had hoped he would want them to be together after death like she had, so she clung, letting her soul stay on Earth. She never found them and had to assume he moved on to the afterlife. It left her lonely.
She had made friends thankfully, and she was thinking about one particular friend. Nick, or Nearly Headless Nick, like many people called him, had been her dearest friend for centuries. She always enjoyed spending time with him.
And now, she found herself feeling for him what she had only ever felt for Devin. It made her wonder just how devoted she truly had been to her late husband.
She knew as ghosts, she and Nick would never actually do anything, but the feelings that were stirred up within her felt like a betrayal.
Janie sighed. She couldn't control what she felt. What was important that nothing would ever develop between her and Nick. It couldn't.
