Dear Liv, 🖤 Dru

An excerpt from the diary Dru keeps just to fill with letters to her ghost sister. After writing each one, she leaves the diary open on her desk, hoping Livvy will visit and read it. Since Livvy can't flip the pages, Dru limits the length to what can fit on the back of one page and the front of the next.

*Set between installments 52 and 54 of Secrets of Blackthorn Hall*

Dear Liv,

So guess who I heard from today . . . KIT! Which, okay, not the most eventful thing. You know we text on a pretty regular basis. BUT. TODAY. He texted me from Blackthorn Hall!

Livvy, this is big big.

I don’t know how much Ty has told you about the whole situation with Kit, since neither of them are all that keen on talking about the other, but Jem and Tessa letting him out of his princess tower at Cirenworth is like huge. I don’t know that he’s left Devon since they whisked him away, and now he’s at OUR (Jules’?) haunted house.

Where am I going with this? Well, Livia, I would have hoped you’d figure it out by now, but in case you haven’t . . . This may be our only chance, for a while at least, to get Ty and Kit in the same room again. I can only assume this is a goal you and I share. Can we still have sister telepathy if you’re a twin? Or does twin telepathy win out? I’m gonna say we can still have some sort of telepathy, because then I KNOW you’ll go along with this plan . . .

OPERATION “PARENT TRAP: KITTY* EDITION”

You talk to Kit. Get him and the fam to stay in London a bit longer. (Maybe tell him you heard from some resident ghosts that they’d be willing to share info if they were more familiar with who they’re sharing it with? idk I’m sure you can figure something out)

I text Ty, encourage (bribe? blackmail?) him to visit Jules and Emma

You act as my back-up for Ty. Make sure he agrees and follows through

*yes, I’ve decided this is their ship name. I think Ty would appreciate it. And if Kit wouldn’t already, I’m sure meeting Irene would change that. Not exactly a kitty, I know, but the amount of feral energy between the two of them . . . Kit’s bound to realize how much of a stray cat he is.

Maybe keeping up hope that these idiots will talk through whatever’s keeping them apart is pointless or naïve, but you can see how much they need it, right? It’s not just me? I mean, maybe it is part-selfishness on my part. But I love them both, and sometimes I feel like I’m walking on eggshells trying not to bring up one to the other. And, honestly. That can’t be healthy.

So yeah . . . I’d really appreciate if you could help me out.

I miss you so much, Liv.

It’s so hard not having you to talk to. Or, not having you to respond? It’s nice to write these letters to you, but not knowing if you see them, not knowing if you check up on me, not being able to hear your voice or even just your laugh . . . it’s really hard. I miss my sister. All of this would be so much easier if I had you here to bounce things off of.

Okay, I’ll shut up. I know you don’t have any choice, and it isn’t like wishing will change anything. But it would be nice to know how you’re doing xo

For now though . . . let Operation PTKE commence!

🖤 Dru
