I wake up to the light streaming in through the window. I feel a weight on my waist and look to the side to see Henry still asleep; we were spooning. His return is not just a dream. He really came back, and we made love. I look around at our clothes scattered across the room. Every detail of last night plays like a movie in my mind. My only fear is that he'll disappear again without telling me.
I hear my phone ringing and carefully leave his embrace. I walk around the room, picking up my clothes, and find my phone behind the sofa. I look at the screen; it’s Ana.
Call On
Me: Hi, Ana?
Ana: Liz, are you okay?
Me: Yes, I am.
Ana: What was that slap you gave Mr. McNight? — I knew you'd be more curious than I expected.
Me: He startled me. He shouldn’t have come out of nowhere like that.
