Though

The fact that she expressed an interest in developing a romantic connection with my brother Michael is something I cannot allow to happen. Trying to figure out if she was trying to murder him or try to take him into the spirit realm. That is something I cannot allow to happen at this moment in time. I have a strong hunch that she is not a human person at all, no matter what she may be trying to convince me of. I'm not sure what she wants with my family, but I have a strong hunch that she isn't a regular human being in the traditional sense of the word. I don't trust it for one second.

When one of my classmates approached me, I was completely immersed in my own thoughts and emotions.

Rose, please accept my greetings. How are things going for you right now?

When I turned around, I saw that Ruth had been standing behind me all along.
