"The Way It Came" is a short story published in 1896 in London by American writer Henry James. The unnamed female narrator recounts her obsession with the mystical coincidence of two friends who seem destined to meet and who apparently do unite in spirit after death. Calling the story's original title "colourless", James renamed it "The Friends of the Friends" in 1909, revising it for inclusion in the New York Edition.
