You’ll open your door when I knock.’ I shake my head feeling her inside my mind as if she were moving my thoughts around. I could see her standing there by the light in the black silk she wore. I wondered if she even had a black silk bra while I climbed the stairs to my apartment. Safely inside, I locked the door, dead bolting it and pulling the chain.
