Only a couple hours? That seems weird. Johnny furrows his brow.
"But it looks like you live here," he says. "Did you just move in today?"
She seems suspicious again (god, already she's so grown up, Johnny notes with a pang of sad familiarity), so he hastily says, "I'm not from around here. I'm only here because you're here."
So, that's creepy, but she's already got a ghost buddy, right?? Maybe she'll accept his attempts at sounding all portentous and ethereal and they can move on from there.
Something else, though. "Kind of like him," he says with a shrug toward Aiden. Sure.
