    Kate felt guilty as she remembered all the times she had sat and listened, as the phone rang off the hook again and again, each time she didn’t answer it. She had known it was Olly or Leah calling, but she just couldn’t face answering it. She would always delete their messages so Callum wouldn’t know she was ignoring their calls.
    The s econd email was from Olly.

    Kate wiped away the tears that were falling once again. When had she talked to Callum? Why didn’t he tell her? When did they stop talking completely?  She needed to call Olly back. The last thing she needed was her arriving on her door step and sticking her nose in to her and Callum’s business. She loved Olly to bits, but she can be intense and that was the last thing they needed right now.
    Kate closed down her email and surfed the net for a while. She glanced down at her watch. It was already after five. Kate hadn’t realised how long she was on the computer. She switched off the laptop and spun the chair around to stand up. As she did, the back of the chair hit something that was on the shelf below the desk and it fell to the floor.
    She reached down and picked up what had fallen. It was a photo album. Slowly opening it, Kate’s heart almost stopped. It was full with pictures of her. There were photos going back to the time she and Callum had first met, all the way through their years together.  She flicked through the pictures, slowly remembering when and where each photo was taken. There were photos of Kate on her wedding day, some just after she gave birth to Emily, from holidays over the years, but every photo was of just Kate. Most of them were ones that were taken when she wasn’t even aware there was a camera pointed at her.
    What surprised Kate the most was some of the photos were recent, taken when she was asleep or lost in thought, sitting out on the balcony or in the apartment. Kate couldn’t help, but notice just how sad she looked in them. Even the ones where she was asleep, she had a look of pure and utter heartbreak on her face.
    T hat’s when Kate realised, this is how Callum saw her. He has seen the journey from the happy carefree young woman, to mother, to the ghost she had become. She realised just how much he missed what they once were, because she missed it too. More than she had even realised herself.
    “Oh Callum!” Kate sobbed softly closing the photo album and holding it to her chest. Suddenly, she had an overwhelming need to hold him.
    Then , as if on cue, Kate heard his keys in the front door of the apartment. Immediately she was on her feet. She quickly put the book down on the desk and hurried out of the office.
    Callum was taking his jacket off as Kate barrelled down the hallway and wrapped her arms around him. A look of complete and utter shock spreads across his face.
    “Katie ,” he said the concern was very evident in his voice. “What’s wrong?”
    She just sobbed, unable to answer him and buried her face in his chest. He pulled her closer to him and stroked her hair, as he softly whispered.
    “It’s ok ay Katie,” he breathed against her ear. “I have you baby.” He gently kissed her head and she raised her face to his until their eyes met and for the first time in so long, there was a spark. An old familiar feeling growing deep down inside her. It was almost as if time was
