"Why don't you have dinner with me instead."
She suddenly heard from behind her and her heart jumped to her throat. Ashley stood where she was, frozen for a minute.
How did he get in? She tried to remember if she had left the door open but she clearly remembered locking the door after Natalie left.
How long had he been standing there? It couldn't have been that long since she didn't feel anything.
Slowly, Ashley turned around to face him. And then spent another minute staring at him, before she tried to find her voice.
"How... How did... you... get in?" She stammered.
"I materialized myself in." He said and put his hands in his pockets, like it was a no big deal.
Materialize? Right, she had read in books too that these creatures can appear and disappear. The man in her dreams had done it once.
But was he sneaking up on her now? Not fair invading her privacy!
"Why didn't you just come like a normal person and knock?" She asked but shouldn't have. He was no normal person.
