The charming café was buzzing with activity, filled with the joyful chatter of families and friends enjoying their time together. In a cozy corner booth, Emily sat with her young son, Ethan, surrounded by warmth and comfort. But suddenly, something startled Ethan, causing him to pale and stare at one of the waitresses with wide eyes.
Concern flooded Emily’s heart as she observed her son’s reaction. She reached out to provide reassurance, her voice gentle and soothing. “Baby, what’s wrong?” she asked, her eyes filled with worry.
Trembling with fear, Ethan struggled to find the right words to express his terror. Finally, he whispered, “It’s a ghost.”
Emily felt her heart sink, a rush of thoughts flooding her mind. She tried her best to reassure him, her voice tender yet firm. “There are no ghosts here, sweetheart. You’re safe with me.”
But Ethan remained resolute, his gaze fixed on the waitress as if she were an otherworldly specter. “This one is real,” he insisted, his voice trembling. “I saw her in our house a few days later, but dad said…”
Emily’s blood ran cold as Ethan’s words trailed off, her mind racing with questions. What had her son witnessed? And why was he so frightened? Determined to uncover the truth behind this chilling encounter, she made a silent vow to protect her son, no matter what secrets lay in the shadows. With love and unwavering determination, she was ready to face whatever challenges came their way, ensuring the safety of her family.
