The song is "Are You a Ghost?" from B*witched Awake and Breathe CD.
You should listen to it because it sets a nice mood.

When Nora reached her car she got into it quickly and from behind the wheel looked up at the broken window. She thought she could see him, faintly, sitting there. She wasn't sure but she knew he was there even if she couldn't see him. She turned her car around and drove down the path and away from the mansion. The warm night soothed her nerves.
When she finally crawled into her bed she lay awake a long time, her eyes wide in the dark. The trembling had returned and she felt the bed shake under her. It was a long time before she wound down like an over- tightened clock at which time sleep overtook her suddenly.
It seemed she hadn't slept at all when the alarm woke her. For awhile she lay in bed as memories of the night before played through her mind. It almost seemed as if it had all been a dream, yet it had been too real for a dream. Thoughts of Edward made it difficult to concentrate on her work but somehow she managed to get through the day.
She didn't return to the mansion that night - she needed time to think. The whole incident was beginning to seem unreal. The thought of Edward living alone up there all this time while everyone believed him to be dead was unsettling. That night she slept fitfully and images of Edward seemed to lurk in the shadows of her dreams.
The next day she found it a bit easier to work but she knew she wanted to go back - to make sure that it had all really happened. She tried to remember Edward sitting next to her in the dark but already the memory was fading. As she lay in bed that night her radio played softly. The words to a song drifted about her as she fell asleep:
...Here in the darkness
Oh there's so many shades
Shadows burn like faded flames
And die into the night and fly
Up so high
Are you a ghost?
Or are you alive?
Would you be here for me
Be here for me now
Imagination?
Or are you for real?
Just give me a sign and I'll know.....
The next morning she knew she had to go back that night. The day seemed longer than usual, but finally work was over. She drove home, showered and ate something, the whole time hoping for night to fall quickly. At dusk she got in her car again and drove to the mansion.
Authors Note: For a long time I couldn't think of a name for Nora so I just grabbed it from Nora Jones. I'm totally addicted to her Come Away With Me CD. I get deep into any music I happen to be listening to and recently someone in my house has been playing an old Bewitched CD. Remember them? Don't laugh, I know they're kinda fluffy but I like them and they have beautiful voices. They were young and sweet and they remind me of Edward, which is why I used "Are You A Ghost?" from their second CD in the story. I'll be using more of their songs later, so if anyone has suggestions on how to do songfics or good ways to incorporate lyrics please email me. Also, I'm going to have Nora bring a CD player to the mansion at some point so tell me what music she could leave Edward to listen to during the day when she isn't there and especially for at night when they are together. Thanks so much and please keep reviewing - any suggestions are welcome.
