But not even a long, lingering kiss could quell this nagging feeling in my belly. ~~ Ghost patiently waited for me in a cafe outside the train station, nursing a cup of coffee, probably his second, and an empty plate. “Sorry, I’m late.” I pulled the wooden chair across from him. A server instantly came to the table, taking my order.

Jayden. My heart instantly thundered in my chest, the air whooshing out of my lungs like I’d just run a hundred meters. I took a shaky, long breath, trying to steady myself before pressing the read button. It had been—what?—48 hours since he ghosted me. Was this real? Or some cruel joke my tired mind was playing? Jayden: Are you up? I blinked at the message. Hell yes, I was up. Even if I were dead, I’d be up for this. My fingers trembled slightly as I typed back:

"The transfer was interrupted at ninety-nine percent, Elena. The feedback loop from the server meltdown fried the uplink. You’re... you’re clear." "Am I?" Elena looked at her hands.

"I can still feel the 'Successor' code, Alexander. It’s not a voice anymore. It’s just... a part of my OS." "The doctors call it 'Neural Ghosting,'" Alexander said, his voice dropping. "It will fade.

It was a message from an old friend, Mason, it's been upto a year since I last heard from him. He suddenly ghosted everyone and went MIA like Killian, without a trace. No one knows why he did that and I have no business with the Vampire community in order to ask of him. I curiously clicked on his text as I gulped nervously.

She shrugged and walked away. Zehra was sitting in the living room with her laptop while her parents watched TV. She was searching for good universities for journalism, when a message popped up in Gmail Hangouts from Alphastar1. A: Terrorist Z: What is it with you and gmail? A: It was nice meeting you today.

“Since we got here, my anonymous admirer—you know, the one I’ve been talking to online for while—has completely ghosted me.” Tessa blinked. “Ghosted you? You mean, not even a single message?” “Not even a good morning since we got here,” Jamie said, voice flat. “No check-in. No ‘how’s Seychelles?’ Not even a freaking emoji. Nothing.” Camila reached for her wine glass and raised a brow with teasing sharpness. “Maybe he found out you’ve been frolicking with a rich man named Rahl and decided to back out.
