my mother asks. Her question breaks me from my shock. “What… what are you doing here?” “I wanted to see you.” She stands, running her hands over her thighs. “It’s been a while.” “Yes, it has.” We look at each other for a second before Crystal picks up two bags on the bottom step. My hand shakes as I dig into my pocket for my keys and pass her on the stairs. I unlock the door and push it open, stepping aside to let her enter before me. She smells like lavender. Her favorite scent. She drops her bag and a square, leather case on the floor, casting a glance around the apartment. “Cute,” she remarks. “Looks like a place you’d see in a magazine. How to make the most of a small space.” I follow her to the living room. I can’t stop staring at her, some part of my brain registering the changes wrought by the past three years.
