It was a month later now. Work had been steady, nothing crazy but I was relieved for that. My personal life was quiet, but I had been going out for coffee with some of the girls from work every now and then.
I was about to settle in and watch a movie on my day off when there was a knock at my door.
I opened it to see Karen Page.
"Hi."
"Hey. I've got something for you." She reached into the large purse on her shoulder, and pulled out a small vase of fake flowers. "He said to tell you to put them on the window sill if you ever need to get in touch with him."
"Thank you." I smiled in disbelief, slowly taking the flowers from her.
"Welcome to the family." She smiled before walking away, and I slowly shut the door behind her.
The flowers were red and orange, in a plain brown vase, and looked like they'd been recently watered.
I took the vase over to my window, and after a moment of thinking, I put it out on the window sill.
