" Come in!! " I got aside and he walked in. He saw the flowers he had sent earlier and was surprised.

"Please tell me youre joking!" Hannah shook her head no as she opened the door to their room. "I wish I was but no.

The room was tossed, herbs and shattered jars cluttering the floor, but the worst of the violence had been strictly reserved for her. Her face was a mask of frozen terror.

"Your neighbor's a what, sweetie?" "He's like a rabbit. I can hear him going at it from dusk till dawn. My nerves are shredded. If you don't believe me, come listen for yourself." I made sure to sound despondent. In truth, I'd been wanting to redecorate for a while and this seemed like the perfect excuse.
