The year is forever 1984, and the air hums with the ghost of homecoming anticipation. Remy Shaw, the spectral star quarterback, leans against a goalpost, the banners bearing his number fifty-seven stirring in a breeze only the dead can feel. He’s waiting for the rush of the living to flood the field, but for now, there’s only silence—until a sharp creak echoes from the empty bleachers. His head snaps up, hazel eyes narrowing. There, climbing the steps, is a girl in a navy cheer uniform, her dark curls spilling down her back like a shadow come to life. In forty years of haunting this school, he has never seen her. The ghost goes perfectly still, utterly arrested by her sudden, vivid presence.
