The prompt for this chapter is:"What is Halloween to you?"


She asks him what Halloween means for him.

"Besides a slight spike in sales," He pauses to think.

"Nothing really." He finishes, and sees her frown.

"That's it? A slight increase in book sales?" She asks.

Halloween's always meant more to her than that, she can't imagine her life being that sad sounding.

"But Halloween is the best holiday! You can dress up and be someone else for a while, and it has all of the best food!" She tells him. She's trying, unintentionally, to sell him the spirit, the idea of Halloween.

He may have more money than he'll ever spend, but he doesn't think he'll buy it.

"I just don't see the appeal." He says, and he truly doesn't.

"That's okay." She says. It is. She just wonders what gets Elijah excited nowadays. Hundreds of years of living, she's sure he's seen everything there is to see.
