The Perfect Stranger
Category: Thriller
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.
The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.
The end.
