Drabble: Ghosts at the Feast

The team were having fun but Nick was watching the ghosts. Stephen was hovering behind Abby his face a mixture of anger and regret. But his mouth twitched slightly in acceptance every time her hand reached out to touch Connor. The soldiers were telling bawdy stories and laughing uproariously. Ryan was there, with the men he cared about. Nick didn't see Claudia very often. Sometimes there was a slight lag as Jenny turned her head. Just once, as Jenny stepped swiftly aside to dodge a drink's tray, Nick saw Claudia. She stood staring at him, smiled, faded and was gone.
