“When James opens the door, no one's there. He blinks, poking his head out and peering around, but the street is quiet, and the stars are shining. He waits for something, anything, but there's nothing. No sign of anyone being there at all.

Perhaps it was the echo of a knock from another life, but in this one, James shrugs, shuts the door, and goes back inside to the love that's waiting on him inside.”
