He glanced back up at her.
"Yes?"

His smile was one of those brilliant smiles of his that didn't always make an appearance.
"You should have something that makes you feel that way."

"And it happens to be the ghost of my employer's late father," *she said with a chuckle.*

"Then I'll be fine," *said Caro with a soft smile for Marc before she stood up.* "I think you'd better go along and find something else to do--I need to get some sleep."

"And as a gentleman ghost, I think you would leave me to put on my nightdress."

*Carolina smiled at him as he went, then quickly got into her nightdress and crawled into bed, blowing out her candle and quickly falling asleep.*
