If this is your first SSS, here’s a quick update: Brynna and Travis lost their son (Jake) due to a tragic accident. Instead of turning to each other they drifted apart. However, they own a Ghost Hunting business and they were scheduled for a night at the Queen Mary. This is the first time they have seen each other in months. Travis has just asked Brynna why she thought spirits lingered? She tells him, she believes they have unfinished business and cannot leave until they accomplish it.
(Travis is speaking first.)
Now for the six:
“If I were to die, right now, I would linger to tell you how much I love you,” he continued, barging through her words as if she hadn’t spoken, “and I would want to hold you one more time and tell you that.”
She closed her eyes, and swallowed hard, biting back tears. He still loved her, but his talk of dying left her emotions raw and exposed. Life was a precious gift and without notice their fragile existence could end at anytime. She hadn’t been able to say goodbye to Jake. Death just claimed him.

That’s the six, folks. Like always, I’d love to hear what you think. So… Do you think ghosts linger for a reason? Unfinished business? Don’t know they’ve died?

I can’t help but wonder if the child as a ghost has the unfinished business of bringing his parents together.
