"Thanks." Danny said, pulling out his smartphone. The picture showed a goth woman who'd only slightly toned down her look out of professionalism's sake, a 5 year-old girl, and a 3 year-old boy holding a green-furred puppy, all three with black hair.

"That's Sam, my wife. She's an enviromental lawyer, vegan, and significantly more bad-ass than I will ever be." Danny had an obvious smile on his face. It was clear he liked talking about his family.

"My daughter's Ida. She's five, and her ghost powers have just started kicking in. Occasional trouble with her intangibility so far, but she's handling it pretty well. Right now, she wants to be a Jedi when she grows up. Neil's my son. Curious little guy, gets into everything he can. He's kind of obsessed with Sesame Street right now. The ddg is Cujo, and yes, he is a ghost puppy. It's a long story."
