Now Or Never
“The upstairs portion of the house had been vacant for several months, which was quite a relief to Suzie, because when she worked nights, she needed her sleep and the previous tenant had been a student who liked to play Whitney Houston singing “I Will Always Love You” at full blast, any hour of the day or night.
She relished the peace and quiet. Besides, it meant she could give a party—and play her own choice of music as loudly as she liked—without having to consider the upstairs tenant or, wors...e, invite him.
She was working the night shift this week, and she had spent a pleasant afternoon having her hair styled and doing a bit of shopping, finding a couple of bargains at the Gap and a terrific little silk dress that she could have sworn was Anne Klein II in Filene’s Basement. Her sister, Terry, was having a party next week, and it would be exactly right.
