"Is it Clare?" She heard a very excited voice of her school friend over the phone, who she had loved once, but something had taken him away to marry another woman.
"Yes. Who’s calling?" She asked, although she knew who was on the other end of the line.
"Steve!” silence for awhile, hoping to see if she still remembered him.
"Hey, Steve!" She exclaimed cheerfully. "What makes you call me? Since you've got married, no sign of you! Your wife must be very strict. You appear to have forgotten old friends!"
"Let's not talk about it we are divorced! End of!”
Clare felt touched by the echoes of sadness in his voice.
"Divorced! I can't believe it! After such a great love? Oh, man, why?"
Steve growled something that Clare could not understand, and then said.
"Forget my ex-wife and everything! There is something else I wanted to ask you. Could you come to my place? I need your help. Are you still a talented psychometric?"
Upon hearing these words, Clare understood that something serious was going on and accepted his invitation to go to his place.
Clare was gifted with rare talents to read things about anything or anybody, holding some belongings of that person in her hands. This was known to very few people, and among them was her forgotten friend and lover, Steve.
Arriving at the address, she pushed the bell push. The door opened, and his face shone with delight. They hugged and kissed like old friends. After a few sentences about where and what had been happening to each other during the time they had not been together, she asked:
"OK, now, tell me what help you expect from me?"
"It is about my ex-wife. I suspected that she was unfaithful to me. That's why we divorced, but now I am not so sure. Can you see anything about it? Here’s her earring..." And he gave Clare a golden earring. Clare took it into her hands closed her eyes and kept silent for almost half an hour. Then she opened her eyes and saw Steve, impatiently watching her.
"This earring was worn by a very good looking woman, tall, blond, with very big eyes. She has long legs and beautifully bright skin...." She kept describing a woman whose vision she had in her mind, thinking that she was describing Steve's ex-wife.
"Oh, you are so good!" Steve interrupted her, and took the earring away from her hands. "Stop! Don't say anymore! It is too late, anyway. We've divorced and that's it!" He said, sighing deeply.
Clare felt so much pity for him; she put her hand into his hair and gently fondled him. He kissed her fondling hand, and their old feelings, never completely gone from their hearts, were overcoming them again.
They spent a beautiful night full of love and happiness. In the morning she got up, while he was still sleeping, to make them breakfast. She went to the kitchen and, while trying to find things to prepare the meal, in a drawer she found a photo of a dark-haired woman and Steve. It was their wedding photo. Something wild touched her breast, so she took the picture and furiously entered the bedroom where Steve was already awake. Her face was pale and hands were shaking. While throwing the photo at him, she yelled:
"What's this?! What did you mean yesterday when I was describing your wife? Your wife is not blond at all..."
She was too excited to continue. Tears were running down her cheeks.
Steve smiled, got up, holding the photo in his hands.
"So, you've discovered my little trick, ha-ha-ha!" He started to laugh. Clare was shocked.
"What kind of a monster you've become!" She shouted and started dressing to leave the house.
Steve was still laughing, but she paid no attention to him anymore. When she put the last piece of her clothing on, she went to the mirror to see if everything was OK with it, and... Stood there motionlessly, with eyes filled with amazement. Then she also burst into laughter, turning her head to Steve. He was smiling with so much love and tenderness at her.
Clare looked at the mirror again and saw a very good looking woman, tall, blond, with big eyes, long legs, and beautifully bright skin. She went to him and threw herself into his arms.
Then she remembered when they first had made love in that very flat where they were then. After a wonderful night of their first love-making, Steve asked her to leave something behind, to make her come back again if it ever happened that they separated.
"Yes. Who’s calling?" She asked, although she knew who was on the other end of the line.
"Steve!” silence for awhile, hoping to see if she still remembered him.
"Hey, Steve!" She exclaimed cheerfully. "What makes you call me? Since you've got married, no sign of you! Your wife must be very strict. You appear to have forgotten old friends!"
