Quirky by Allie HarrisonHere’s a little something quirky about me. I can see one thing or hear something, and poof it can become an entire story in my head.Regarding Hargove House, the first in my Haunted Series, all of which are what I would consider ghostly romances, I had the opportunity to step into one of the oldest—and supposedly haunted—houses in the area. It was almost Halloween, which of course added a bit of ghostly flare to the atmosphere. I was told there was a ballroom on the third floor of the house. Standing in the foyer, I looked up and saw the most elegant, fitting chandelier. I would have liked to have a crystal piece of that to take home. By the time I did get home afterward, I had most of the story swirling in my head and had to write notes in long hand quickly before the ideas of someone digging in the cellar and the children faded away like a dream in the sunshine.I have always enjoyed stepping into old houses, wondering what the walls would tell if they could speak. In the case of Hargrove House, perhaps it was a ghost that night that whispered in my ear and gave me the idea. What do you think? Do you believe in ghosts? Whether you do or not, I hope you enjoy Hargrove House.

Torrie knew in her heart venturing into the haunted Hargrove House was a stupid thing to do. She sucked in a deep breath. She’d never been a chicken, and she wasn’t going to be one now.The door knob was cold in her palm. Surely the door wouldn’t be unlocked. The old creepy house had been vacant forever.It wasn’t locked. In fact, the knob turned easily and the door opened. The eerie thought that the house wanted her to come in slipped through her.The light from the street filtered into the foyer, but only a little. Everything else was nothing more than a mixture of gray shadows. Still it was enough for Torrie to see elegance in the wide, beautiful circular staircase. Above her head a huge chandelier hung haphazardly. What was left of its crystal decoration reflected the small amount of light from the street.It was beautiful.How anyone could leave this house, she wondered.Outside, the wind blew the leaves and branches of the trees in the front yard, and the shadows danced.Torrie took a step back. She’d stayed long enough to fulfill the dare. Besides, she’d heard her father say often enough the place was probably rotten through. She’d break her leg if she fell through the floor. She could see the headline in the Liberty Banner now: Mayor’s Daughter Breaks Leg in Haunted Hargrove House.Her friends who hid in the bushes outside were going to owe her big time, she thought.The moonlight reflected on something on the floor a few feet away. Was it a piece of glass from one of the several broken windows? No, it was a single crystal obviously from the chandelier above her. Her hand itched with the need to touch it, to hold it. She took a few steps forward, weary of the possibly rotted floor.Then she had it in her hand, an elegantly carved crystal, beautiful and perfect, a prize for a scary dare like a blue ribbon for winning a race. She turned to go back out the door. It was then she heard the voice.It was really nothing more than a moan, a painful moan.Yet, it said her name—“Victoria…”________________________________________________________________

Meg gave one last quick glance about the party that filled the large room but didn’t see her husband, Quint anywhere. Needing some space where she could have a moment alone, she bypassed the kitchen where she found another small stairway, and ascended. After walking a long, dark, dusty hallway filled with tools and ladders, Meg realized she was in the part of the house Quint continued calling the North Wing. It was the part of the house he hadn’t refurbished or remodeled yet. It was quiet and dark and a bit colder than the rooms she just left, suffering from years without heat or cleaning or maintenance. She welcomed the cooler air.Though echoes of the party drifted up to her through the darkness, for the moment, this place was what Meg needed. Quiet from the storm of the party downstairs, and the emotions pinging through her. She made her way to the windows at the end of the long hallway, and slipped off her shoes, allowing the bare floor to soothe her aching feet.The view from the window captured her gaze. Through the steady rain and lightning of the storm, she saw the neglected gardens filled with weeds and trees and shadows. She heard the surf crashing against the nearby rocks and knew, without a doubt, that on a clear day, this window would offer a magnificent view. For now, she could only see the part of the parking lot lit by the streetlight.She took a deep breath and inhaled the heavy scent of must and the lumber stacked nearby.She closed her eyes and pressed her head against the chilly glass.A slight frigid breeze flowed through the hall. Had someone opened a door? She didn’t open her eyes. The chance to rest against the chill of the glass was simply too good. What did she care if someone else snuck up here for a moment alone?He moved her hair slightly. She could have sworn she felt Quint’s familiar touch. There was a soft touch to her neck; hardly more than the touch of a feather. It could have been fingertips. It could have been lips.She sighed. So Quint had followed her to steal a moment alone. Wonderful…She waited a few heartbeats, but the soft touches didn’t continue. Meg opened her eyes and looked over her shoulder.
She was alone in that dark, cold, musty hall.

Despite the echoing of a room empty of people and the house being empty for some time, the piano was in tune and sounded perfect. There wasn’t even the tin, hollow sound that often came with age or neglect. She opened her eyes and drew in a deep breath. A sense of calm filled her. Her music had always had that effect on her.Without thought, she sat down on the piano bench. It creaked beneath her weight and made her smile. Piano benches always creak. She placed her fingers on the keys. They seemed to know just where to go. She supposed this was like riding a bicycle. No matter what happened to her, her fingers still knew what to do.Amazing.She swallowed the lump in her throat and played a song she’d written, something she called, “The Road to Anywhere.” The notes came to her as if they were merely an extension of her fingers. She played with hardly a mistake, despite the fact she hadn’t played this piece, or any piece, in over a year.For a long moment, she relished in the sound she created. The excitement, the rush of her music filled her, flowing into the hollow spaces. She’d been so empty for so long.In a single instant, for the first time in months, she felt…Able.Alive.Not perfect, not near ready to perform before an audience again. Perhaps not ready to write a single note. Not ready to face all the demons still lingering in her nightmares.But better. And, except for the headache, pain free.She smiled and took a deep breath. The scent of the house, apples and cinnamon, filled her lungs. It was mingled with the heady aroma of furniture wax and candle wax.Her fingers, still lingering on the keys, thrummed with an energy she’d never experienced before.The sounds of dishes rattling and the echo of laughter drew her attention. She jumped from the bench as if someone dumped a cup of ice down her back.What the hell? A ghost? After all, she'd just explored the house and was completely alone. A chill skittered over her, sliding a cold hand around her neck, her shoulder, down into her chest. She shuddered. Had she left the door open? She raced toward the dining room, only to stop in her tracks.This is way too real and impossible…
Before she could gasp, hands—warm and strong—grabbed her. Her screams died in her throat.

Kate walked on, drawing closer while never taking her gaze off him. His back was to her. But she recognized him, recognized his brown hair, hair that would look as if it had a touch of gold if he stepped out into the sunlight. Her heart picked up the pace.Yes, she did recognize him. Yes, she felt as if she knew him even though she had only known him in her dream. She forced down a hard swallow, barely managing it passed the lump in her throat, as she silently climbed her front steps. He turned and met her gaze. Her heart raced faster.His warm gaze met hers and held, his brown eyes filled with an expression of surprise and expectation at the same time.Kate remembered that look. It was the same look he’d had just before he kissed her, just before he made love to her…Slowly, she shook her head, in disbelief as well as to clear her thoughts of the memory that wanted to play over again and again.Seeing him, her dream lover, standing before her on her own front porch was enough to steal her breath away and she had to remind herself to breathe.It was him; the dream lover who’d held her the night before. She couldn’t believe she was standing face-to-face with him.Impossible.
