You are moving like a ghost is after you,” she teased.Stephen laughed softly, trying to not make this look more embarrassing. “Funny mom, I just wanted to go and check on…”“Anna,” Mrs. Gray cut him short. “You wanted to go check on Anna, I know, it is obvious… Why else would you climb up to the guest room hallway?” she smiled.Stephen grinned, “Okay, I don’t know what that is supposed to mean, but I will see you later, mom.” He l
