Calling Me Back
“Earlier in the evening, I’d offered to take Ash home, but she’d refused. I’d not seen much of her lately, and I could have done with a talk. I couldn’t remember the last time it had just been her and me. We used to meet for lunch or after work sometimes, but it had been ages. When I’d hugged her hello earlier, I’d realized that it was her I could smell in the church the previous day. I’d never noticed the perfume that surrounded her, probably because she was just Ash scented to me.

“Hey,” she said.
I’d been sure she would be asleep.
