Wow, I just realized that I had this one written, but not uploaded.
"Nu-no one." Maddie smirked and walked away. Danny's mind burned with questions. What did she hear? What is she thinking? Why is she smiling like that?
Maddie walked away briskly, outwardly calm, but inwardly churning with thoughts. Why is the ghost boy so worried? Who was he calling? Why was he so concerned with that girl he gave a flower to?
Maddie suddenly recalled something Jazz had shown her. "Mom, look at this!" Jazz pressed a book into Maddie's hands. "Check out the quote by Sir Francis Bacon." She could still remember the quote, and it pained her now. 'If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.' What if everything she knew about ghost was wrong? What if this Phantom had real emotions, and felt sorry about hurting that girl? Maddie still didn't believe that he had been telling the truth, but she was certain that Phantom's powers were gone for some reason. Why else would he not be flying away? Even if he was experiencing emotions, why would a rational being ever stay in the presence of another being bent on destroying it?
