He went on a Tuesday.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVd1QrS3TK

It was nine in the evening. The hotel was a business hotel near Shinjuku Station and there was a bar on the second floor that was open to the public.

He found her at a table by the window.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9q7ed4zHW

She was alone. She had a glass of whiskey in front of her that she had not touched. She was looking at the street.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt11Y16XVFs

She saw him come in and did not look surprised.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dUqhqmNo4

He sat down across from her.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVbkpcVOij

Neither of them said anything for a long time.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeOAKVAqc9

"You came," she said.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhhQSNk9fD

"Ayumi called."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXDrp6Llox

"Of course she did."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIB2gu5mV9

She picked up the glass and put it down again.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v4EOI6cqG

"I'm sorry about your mother," he said.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNFx19NG9S

She nodded.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhldNtZ4H58

They sat there for a while.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNkH1A1FkN

"Are you staying," he said.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP1nkfvQFK

"I don't know."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza4bIGdB68

"Do you have somewhere to stay."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xj3gdT6K5

"No."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsQ2vlOOkX

He looked at her.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r1iMIiPQL

"Stay," he said.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr8mF9cbty

She did not answer.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lLyY0Uj1n

She finished her drink.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoTR6zG75H

She looked at the window and then she looked at him.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTcQMCob5J

"Not tonight," she said.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiak30mLT87

"Okay."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HGv4Y8HaI

"Not because I don't want to."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwpKxYGwpk

"Okay."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzCkVgUKIz

"Because I need to know I can."

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC9ZWOUQsP

He nodded.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC2Sv3LJH9

He stood up and put money on the table for both drinks and walked to the door.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jMLSWx8VX

He stopped at the door and looked back.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhScJ3zGQ8U

She was watching him.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpes0mu6jn

"Tomorrow," she said.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16GDGWDtlN

"Tomorrow," he said.

23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHSj7uJHE1

He went out and down the stairs and into the street and walked to the station and went home.23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypNVOfiVo1
