Several days passed, and Purple Summers encountered Mr. Ghost Hayes and Hunter Dalton at home.
They had been summoned by Alexander Summers from Clearwater soon after the casino incident, tending to exorcisms and arranging geomancy. During the days Purple prepared for the lawsuit, they were incessantly busy.
Now that they were done, all was calm, and Alexander had called them to the island again.
To check on Purple.
Purple sat on the sofa, while Mr. Ghost Hayes circled around her twice and a half, nodding as he observed, "Hmm... Not bad, very good."
Alexander thought Mr. Ghost Hayes was referring to her well-nurtured spirit.
But in the end, Mr. Ghost Hayes said, "Her face has filled out."
Alexander's face immediately darkened.
Purple found it both funny and embarrassing.
Lately, as if a great weight had been lifted from her chest, she had been eating well and sleeping soundly; indeed, her face had gotten rounder than before.
