Where Love Begins
“He apparently knows when Stella is at home, and when she’s home alone. Stella is in the kitchen looking in the cabinet under the sink for the brush for Ava’s shoes when the doorbell rings, and even though she hadn’t been thinking of him at all, even though she never assumed that he would come back so soon – even though she had actually forgotten him, he immediately comes to mind again. She knows who’s ringing the bell. She knows that it’s not the postman, not a messenger, not her neighbour, not... a child in need of a bicycle pump, unfortunately not the chimney sweep, and not the man from the gas company. She puts the little suitcase in which Jason keeps the shoe polish things down in front of the sink, and straightens up. Her knee joints crack as she stands up, and for a moment she feels dizzy. She goes out of the kitchen down the hall to the front door. Looking out of the window she takes hold of the intercom receiver; she says, Yes.
Yes, as she looks at the stranger standing on the street outside her garden gate in the same clothes he was wearing yesterday, his hands in his jacket pockets, and, as far as she can see at this distance, the same totally expressionless face as yesterday.MoreLess
