Sugar

By Kim Davis

Every Halloween for about five or six years after I’d graduated from college, I’d receive a package of candy in the mail. The candy varied from year to year. Sometimes I’d get a bag of mini Snickers bars. Other times I’d get Kit Kats or Hershey bars. The candy was always something I liked because the sender knew what I liked and catered to my tastes. The candy was always sent to my parents’ house in Evanston, Illinois, and came from an address in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There was no sender’s name on the packages and no correspondence inside, but I knew who they were coming from. Then, one year, Halloween came and went and there was no candy. Then the same thing happened the next year and the next until I figured my candy man had given up on the treats for good.

When my telephone rang at work around three in the afternoon on Halloween, I had a feeling the call would be bad news, but that didn’t stop me from answering. Hello?

Hi, Caleb. Happy Halloween.

Hearing the deep, low voice on the other end of the line made me drop the receiver. It clanked against my desk before I picked it up and cradled it between my head and shoulder.

I’m sorry, I said. I dropped the phone.

He laughed. I could tell. Are you surprised to hear from me?

Yes.

I’m going to be in Chicago over the weekend and I’d like to see you.

I swallowed. Why, Alex? It’s been fifteen years.

Fourteen.

Fine. Fourteen years. Why do you want to see me after all this time?

I just want to talk and find out how you’ve been doing.

How did you even find me?

Another laugh came from the other end of the line. "You’re not that hard to find. You’ve been working for the same insurance company for the last, what, four years?
