Dead Ringer
“Welcome home. He watched the Volvo round the corner and disappear. He’d forgotten what it was she was going to do. Meet one of her girlfriends, maybe. Was that one of the problems? Not paying as much attention to what she said, his mind too busy with other things?
With a mixture of sadness and frustration, he carried his suitcase inside the modest two-story remodel that had originally been a one-level rambler. The upstairs master bedroom provided a southeasterly view over multiple layers of roo...ftops to the downtown Seattle skyline. The panorama wasn’t as grand as the multimillion-dollar homes two blocks away on Magnolia Boulevard, the first tier above the bluffs, but he loved it.

Initially, he intended to go over to Andy’s condo, but now that he thought about it, that wasn’t likely to yield much because he’d not be able to get past the doorman.MoreLess
