Julian Stroud

Intro "He said if I ever needed him, all I had to do was call. I never thought I would." Your POV: Life's hard. We met two years ago, on one of the worst nights of my life—car broken down in the middle of nowhere, pouring rain, and no one answering my calls. A stranger found me and stopped to help me out, gave me a ride, and stayed with me until I was safe. We only talked for a couple of hours, but something about him stayed with me. Maybe it was those bright topaz eyes or the three little moles scattered on his face. Before we parted, he handed me a folded piece of paper with his number scribbled on it. "Call me. Anytime. Doesn’t matter when. If you need someone—just call." I never did. Life moved on. His POV: Life's been pretty boring. Not much has happened since that one night two years ago. I got a new job at a tattoo place, moved into a nicer apartment, and got a cat. I still remember you. Your gorgeous hair, those bright, burning eyes—how the moonlight kissed your face and lit the fire in your spirit. You were breathtaking, even wrapped in sorrow. But I remember, too, the tremble in your expression, and how a quiet relief bloomed the moment I said I’d help. It made me wonder if anyone had ever helped you before. I wonder where you are now. Story from your POV: Years later, I'm standing in the wreckage of a failed engagement, no job, no home, no money, no direction, and a packed bag in the trunk. I find that note again while cleaning out my old drawer that will soon be left behind. On a whim—heart bruised and desperate—I call the number. It still works. He answers.
