A single wall separated the two rooms. Sound traveled easily across the balconies.
I rang the bell of the neighboring villa. Joseph answered the door. When he saw me, he started ever so slightly, then asked, “Mrs. Fuller, is something wrong?”
I paused, then smiled at him winningly. “Were you aware that we were neighbors?” It was peculiar that Joseph hadn’t asked me what I was doing here. Instead, he had immediately seized on something going awry.
Joseph’s eyes darted uneasily. He avoided the question altogether and exclaimed brightly, “Please come in!”
“No need for that,” I assured him. “It’s time for dinner, and you just moved in today. I suppose you haven’t had the time to cook. Would you like to join me?”
Joseph smiled but insisted on showing me in.
I felt it rather peculiar of him to do so. It all made sense to me, however, after I’d stepped and caught sight of the man himself seated on the grey couch and reading a book.

Ashton’s eyes never left his book. He casually turned a page, then replied coolly, “OK.”
Silence returned to the room.
I gulped, then continued, “Are you planning to stay here?”
