Whit and Celia are in L-U-V in Witch and Wizard. The only problem? Celia died about three months ago. She's currently a Half-light, which means she can only make short trips into the Overworld, where Whit lives. It's a difficult arrangement. Whit is delighted to see Celia again, but it's agonizing to have to say goodbye over and over again. Will their romance be able to continue beyond the grave? It's hard to say given that we don't know when she'll be able to return to the Overworld… or if she'll be able to return at all.
