My apartments on the third floor she said, as I listened to her soft sweet voice beckon me to come. I just met you, I said, and as quickly as I had said it, I wished I hadn’t, thinking she might change her mind. Yes, she said, but we have been on the phone all night and now it's daylight. It seems to me I have know you for a long time, and I listened, and told myself I believed the same.
I thought about what she said, and decided it was time. How will I know where your house is? Well, I live on a one way street,, and my apartment is next to a church, she finally said. I drive a 1989 light blue Hyundai exel, she said. It’s been parked since last week when the freeze came. I wish she would just give me the address, but I knew this area well, and downtown was pretty small. There were only two churches, and I knew both of them. Suddenly it hit me....The sculpture.....
I have a red box sitting on my patio, she said, breaking me away from my thoughts, bringing me back. Are you coming? I thought for a moment, then Said, I’ll be right there. I’ll call when I park out front. Ok, she softly said, I’ll be ready for you.......
