Alex had been in so many minds about going to see Hal. It was more than a day of getting so close to making that move, even rentaghosting to the outside of the house, only to vanish again before she could do anything. Everything he had put her through, all those lies and the cheating, that pain. So much so she had lost control of what she was, had turned into a poltergeist, something that still hadn't gone away. Much of the past couple of months Alex had been alone in the woods, trees taking the brunt of her telekinesis. Aside from hanging out with Lexi a couple of times, Alex hadn't actually seen anyone for a long time.
Really it was lucky that ghosts didn't need to worry about things like personal grooming or hygiene, because she would have been a mess. Probably a stinky one. As it was, she looked exactly the same as she had months ago. Save for her eyes which still glowed an eerie ice blue.
It took until the morning of the 8th for her to finally take that extra step and actually go in to Hal's house. It was cleaner than she had expected, after all it had been abandoned for weeks. But then he was Hal again, and Hal could never abide mess. So maybe it wasn't so surprising after all.
Ghosts didn't need invitations, so Alex just went inside, appearing in the hallway. From the room she could hear the sound of Hal exercising, and abruptly she missed the days when she could have made some comment laced with innuendo, made him blush and splutter that she was being inappropriate.
Instead she leaned against the doorway, her expression neutral. "I can come back later, if you're busy."
