The phone rang. I heard his voice on the other end of the line I will be coming tomorrow with your delivery I am running late. That will be fine I said. He said he just didn't want to make anyone angry at him. I said he could never make me angry. I heard him sigh, then he said do you want to hook up. Is he at home can you talk? He's outside I can talk for a little bit. I want you and I missed you it's been so long. I told him I have missed him too.
It had  been months since I held him last.
The next day the truck arrived and he brought in that our order. the husband talked for awhile to him as I made myself busy in the kitchen. Always good just to hear him move. He came  around the corner and I was standing there .  Hello. soft and sweet as though his soul were speaking to mine.  He placed the order in the storage room. I could feel him shutter as he walked through the room that we had many times made love in. As he turned and passed me he said how's it been trouble? Have you been in trouble lately? No I said unfortunately I have been very good. We laughed. How about you? have you been in trouble lately? He looked down towards the floor. Yes I know he has others .
The husband was home so there were only glances when we knew that he could not see us. He was paid, but his receipt did not print out for us. He said it was funny because it is just work at his last delivery. My husband said it's the ghost. Ghost? Yes it's the ghost she sometimes interferes with things here. We talked about haunted places in Anchorage one in particular that he would like to stay. But he could not find a friend who would stay with him. He asked what it was like to live with a ghost and we told him a few stories. He asked if it was creepy. No not so much. It's something you get used to. We said our goodbyes and he was on his way. It would be 2 weeks before I saw him again.
