Stranger's Gift (2011)
“He could hardly believe that he was finally able to enjoy breakfast at his own table in his restored kitchen after his first night back in the main house. The first floor had been scoured of mold and silt, and the space was protected by one of the signature blue tarps that dotted the landscape where roofs had been ripped away all up and down the coast. Margery had given him a single bed complete with mattress and linens that she claimed to have no use for, and Rosalyn had sent him dishes and po...ts and pans from the thrift shop.
“Housewarming present,” Samuel had told him when he protested.
For the first time in weeks he felt something like hope that things just might work out for him. And not wanting anything to disturb this idyllic moment, he decided to ignore the approach of a car, the slam of a door, and the muffled voices followed by the sound of the car leaving, and the rhythmic click of hard-soled shoes climbing the steps to his door.
There was a knock. A pause. A repeated knock.MoreLess
