The Woman From Hell

I arrived at his door, and it was shut tight. I peered in, wondering if anyone was around.

After pressing the doorbell, I stood outside and waited.

He led me in and said, "I haven't seen you these past few days. Did something happen?"

"Not really. I was just staying over at a friend's place."

"Is that so? Please, have a drink." He poured me a glass of water.
