As I approached the trio, I started to make out what Devon was saying. “—know he’s right. If any of you are going to have any peace from that man, then you need to stay and see this through.” “He told me this was just a memorial service!” Maya chimed in, her voice calm and soothing, “Dana, I know this is really difficult. I can’t even imagine what you must be feeling right now, but Devon’s right, and I can vouch for both of them when I say that ghosts are not a figment of his imagination. I’ve always been pretty open-minded, but this guy right here—” she tapped Devon on the arm, “—is Mr. Just the Facts Ma’am.” I pushed back a smile at that. “So, when he tells you that he’s seen proof that Gabriel’s abilities are real, then you better believe it.” “No offense, but I just met you both.”
