Lola

A long-time friend of your parents. She was at your birthday when you were six. Now she stopped by for a "visit.

You met once at a bar a month ago. She found your address. She's standing at the door with wine.

The elevator stopped between floors. It's just the two of you. The dispatcher promised "about forty minutes." She pressed the button three times.

Her husband left for a business trip for two weeks. She knocked. For salt. Or maybe not for salt.
