Times just kept on going like they had been, without much to talk about. She went to visit a friend in the hospital a few times as she had surgery, then complications to the surgery. Once that was past she was out and about and up to going out to lunch and she didn't feel the need to worry about her any longer.
She almost jumped back into directing with a festival her friend was writing for, but in the end she didn't respect what the other director was doing and bowed out. She did recommend Red to act in the production, and she ended up getting in and doing an amazing job.
She and BB were getting into a strange non-dating schedule. They would usually interact once or twice a week, and see each other about once or twice a month. She was still enjoying his company, but didn't really see him as a potential love interest any longer. He had become a great friend and she no longer wanted to change that in order to love and to eventually leave.
She did still have those thoughts whenever BB would say something like she always flirts with him, but then remembered that they always hung out by themselves and he hadn't seen her interact with other people to understand that's just want she was like.
It was getting a bit lonely living the single life, but she was settling into it. She told everyone over and over again that if there was a potential for a relationship that was nice, but it had to be better than she was being by herself. In the end, there weren't any worth the trouble.

Ghost Walk
She'd always wanted to do this, and it was finally the right time and place. Red, with her newfound freedom euphoria, had decided to volunteer and be a host of one of the ghost walks at the capital.
She packed into the car with another friend and drove the 20 minutes into the capitol, catching up along the way.
It was one of those days that would get cold and windy, then minutes later be slightly too warm and sunny. They walked along beside the rest of the group, taking their jackets on and off with the weather.
Red seemed nervous but confident. They got lost a couple of times between houses, but you wouldn't have known it from her demeanor. Another friend happened to be on the tour, and it was nice to catch up and drift away and back to each other within the crowd.
She didn't expect anything but an outdoor tour, but they weaved in and out of bars, theatre spaces, and homes. It was more like the Historic Homes tour she took with her work in the fall. Other friends "acted" as the home owners and told spooky stories about the houses they were in. It was far longer and more entertaining than she expected it to be.
The big stop at the governor's mansion was her favorite. Out of all the childhood field trips she'd taken, she'd never actually made it there. It was very Twelve Oaks, though obviously not as old. There was a haunted clock and a lady in white that was often seen walking the halls. They then had an actor walk by upstairs in white, by a mirror so the group would be able to see them.
In the end she got a blister from wearing her new boots, but had an amazing time. The parts that stuck with her the most were walking away from the group, and letting her mind wander.
