He was undeterred. "Knock-knock." "You said you'd stop, Declan." "You didn't open the door," he protested. She gave him a pointed look. "Who's there?" "Nobel." "Nobel who?" "Nobel, so I knocked!"

The tension in the air was thick and heavy. Henry frowned at the burgers on the table, his nose wrinkling slightly. "Reheated burgers aren't fresh, Mom. I want doughnuts." Daniel coaxed him, "Your mom already made these, Henry. Let's not waste them. You can have doughnuts tomorrow, okay?" "No! I want them now!" Henry refused, his voice rising in a tantrum.

Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock knock, knock— Knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock, knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock— Knock, knock—knock! Knock, knock—knock!

*knock* *knock* C’mon… please… *knock* *knock* *knock* Please open the door… *knock* *knock* *knock* Kieran… *knock* *knock* *knock* *knock* *knock* *knock* *knock* *knock* *kno—. I was beginning to panic, thinking that I’d left it too late but then, finally, the door opened.

He peeked out from behind the opening of the barrel. Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a loud knock on the door. Bowen was silent while holding his breath. His face was agitated. His hand gripped his flagship blacksmith hammer tightly. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! This time the knock on the door was louder. Bowen stood tensed at the door. His grip on his flagship blacksmith hammer was getting tighter. His eyes stared intently at the door in front of him, which was made of solid teak wood. He hoped the door was strong enough to hold back whoever was behind the door, the uninvited guest. He swallowed hard.

Knock, knock, knock! The knocker was surprisingly polite, only three knocks, each perfectly timed. Julia was on the brink of realizing a long-held wish, and that knocking was not about to mess up her groove. She was ready to press on! Knock, knock, knock! The persistent knocking sounded again, as if the person would not stop until the door came down. Walter's heart, all tied up in knots, found the knocking to be a godsend, a few gentle raps pulling him back from the brink of doom.

“I don’t know, but I’m writing it down. Either they are talking about the fairies or another person. Who can tell right now?” That’s when another device chimed up with Tommy and Knocker. Greta blinked at that. “Who’s Tommy? And what is a knocker? I don’t know that job.” Bill laughed. “Sorry. That’s funny.

Who could be knocking at this hour of the night, it’s 2am in the morning, shouldn’t this person be sleeping.
