It's Only 5,652 Miles Away(Part 2)

Hello again everybody! So sorry it has been forever since I have posted but I have been busy with moving with my family, so now that everything is settled I am excited to finish this series. Thank you for sticking with me and all of your comments, votes, and support really mean a lot to me:)

And yes we have another song(Sorry hehe). It is in italics.

Julie raced down to the dressing room, where Lucinda was waiting with her outfit for her performance. 

"Julie! Where have you been?"

"I found something in Caleb's office," Julie replied, carefully taking the bedazzled dress from Lucinda's hands and heading into a dressing room to change.

"Well, what was it?"

"Nothing special," Julie mused.

"Nothing special? Julie, that man is a mystery and is probably centuries old and you're telling me you found nothing special?"

Julie sighed and slipped on the dress. It was a classic black, off-the-shoulder cocktail dress with dahlias embroidered in the fabric. She liked to have dahlias in every performance, whether it was on her costume or pinned in her hair. It felt like she had a piece of her mother with her.

"Julie?" Lucinda called.

Julie calmly opened the door and Lucinda gasped in a amazement.

"You look beautiful darling. He'll love it."

"Thank you," Julie beamed before sitting down in front of the vanity.

"So," Lucinda started as she placed silver pins in Julie's hair, "why don't you tell me a little bit about him before he comes?"

"How do you know he even is coming?" Julie asked.

"I just know."

A comfortable silence stretched between them as Lucinda combed and pinned Julie's hair into a neat bun.

"He and I were practically the same person. We clicked the moment we started writing songs and it reminded me of when I wrote with my mom. I just felt...safe with him. It felt right until I came to my senses and remembered that I was human and he was a ghost."

"Forbidden love?" Lucinda hummed. 

"Not exactly forbidden just impossible."

Lucinda hummed in agreement again before placing the last pin in Julie's hair. The silver shone in the warm light of the dressing room and it made Julie appear as if she had a halo encircling her head.

"It was a necklace," Julie finally said.

"What you found in the office?" Lucinda questioned and Julie nodded.

"I didn't think he liked jewelry. Rings he did like but necklaces weren't his style," Lucinda continued.

"It was more of a crystal pendant than a necklace. And it glowed so he must have some fashion sense."

"What?" Lucinda startled and Julie stared at herself in the mirror, plucking at spare hairs that didn't stay in her bun.

"Yeah. Who knew a ghost could have taste?" Julie chuckled.

"No, you said the necklace glowed?"

"It did. It was some sort of purple pulse. There was a dragon wrapped around it and it was addressed by a very old wizard."

Lucinda's eyes widened.

"Julie, where is the pendant?"

"I'm wearing it," Julie announced and Lucinda's eyes seemed to bug out of her head.
