“But I love to paddle,” Helen told him with a bright smile.
“Do you love ghosts too?” Jack asked.
“I—I don’t know. You see I never saw one, did you?”
“No, I never did.”
“But don’t you believe there are ghosts?”
“No, do you?”
“Well, I don’t know for sure. You see mamma says there are and daddy is just as certain that there aren’t, so I’m kind-of on the fence.”
“Ready to jump either way,” Bob laughed.
“I guess so,” she smiled.
“Hope I’ll be there to catch you when you do,” Jack said and they all laughed.
