That evening, Everett picked up Una from her ホーム and took her to the bus station to meet Kaitlyn. Una scanned the passengers as they got off, trying to figure out which one looked like she would have the role of Everett's sister, but she didn't get the chance to guess before a voice cried out, "Hey, big brother!" and a young woman ran フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして to throw her arms around Everett.
"Hey, little sister!" He returned her hug and took her heavy duffel bag from her, lifting it onto his own shoulder.
Everett turned to Una and opened his mouth, but before he could introduce her Kaitlyn said, "I bet I know who あなた are. Everett talks about his girlfriend all the time! The actress, right?"
Una nodded proudly. Kaitlyn grinned. "Well, Everett says it's only a matter of time before あなた get 上, ページのトップへ billing in Hollywood."
Everett blushed - "Come on, Kait!" - but he didn't deny it.
The three made their way to Everett's car, with Kaitlyn chatting away to Una as she seemed very interested in getting to know Everett's girlfriend. "I've wanted to meet あなた for ages. Everett says the nicest things about you!"
Una laughed. "Would あなた believe he only just told me about you? But あなた too; he 発言しました the nicest things about your whole family."
Kaitlyn grinned. "I don't want to be the little sister who pushes her brother and his girlfriend too quickly, but - if our family is going to be seeing もっと見る of you, I think you'll like it there."
Una felt warm inside. "Yes," she said, "I think I will."

Una felt warm inside. "Yes," she said, "I think I will."
"What do あなた mean?" Una once again prepared to listen. Everett replied, "While my immediate family was supportive of my dream to go into film editing, not everyone was kind. Lots of people told me that I couldn't do it: most of my schoolmates, some teachers, even my extended family." She said, "How awful!" He said, "I know, but I didn't let that keep me down. My father even told me that I should go for it, no matter what anyone says. I looked at different film schools, and I got accepted into one that is fairly close to where I grew up. Upon graduating, I started preparing to go to film school. I started that fall, and I got a job at the local ダイナー, 食堂 to help my parents cover the apartment rent." Una added, "And that's where we met." Everett smiled. "Yes, Una. My life only got brighter from there." She said, "Aw! I say the same to you, Everett." With that, they kissed.
Some time later, Una and Everett were settled in a cozy small cafe eating sandwiches and sipping かぼちゃ, カボチャ spice lattes while foil cutouts of cute ghosts and pumpkins hung from the walls around them.
"Thanks again, Una," Everett 発言しました after a time. "I just... I don't like small spaces very much."
Una smiled at him and reached across the 表, テーブル to touch his hand. "Hey, あなた saved my life once. It's time I saved yours."
They sat in a comfortable silence for a bit, enjoying this much calmer stage of their ハロウィン celebrations. Una was first to break it.
"I can't believe we solved a real mystery! I can't wait to go ホーム and tell Mother what the secret of the haunted house is."
"Yes," Everett smiled at her. "The secret is my talented actress and her ghost impression."
Una beamed.
