"Of course I can see-" Coraline said, her nose wrinkling as she looked at Aidan with a confused smile. Her voice trailed off only when she turned her head back towards the woman, her hand gesturing to where the woman stood. Coraline looked at her curiously, really looked at her. "Oh, oh I'm so-. Okay, no. No, I don't see anyone at all. Nope!"

Coraline tried to smile, trying to figure out a way to talk herself out of the crazy room because here she was talking to someone who wasn't there and wait- Aidan could see her. Aidan could see her!

"You can see her? How can you see her?" Coraline said looking at Aidan confused.
