I think I heard the doorbell
Oh no … who could it be?
I’m not dressed, I need a shower
Go away, don’t bother me.
In a panic, I start to worry
I look between the blinds
Whose car is that ? …. I wonder
I need to check the time.
My door is locked, thank goodness
Should I call …. call 911?
It’s late, almost 8:30
Not expecting anyone.
Could it be a serial killer?
A rapist or a thief?
Hoping he’s not looking for
Someone who looks like me.
My camera isn’t working
It needs new batteries
The porch light’s out, it’s too dark
It’s hard for me to see.
Saw someone wearing a ball cap
He got back into his car
Looked like a guy I met last week
Down at the local bar.
How’d he know where I lived?
Should I call the local Sheriff?
Do you think I am in danger?
I think his name was JARED..
In the morning on the porch
Was a note, an explanation
“Left your sweater at the bar
Down at LOGANS …. near the station.
Here’s my name and number
If you’d like to meet for coffee
Maybe dinner or a movie
You can text or you can call me.”

So true!!!! Gone are the days when we put a pot of coffee on and brought out the Entenmann’s cake.
Kept our doors unlocked and welcomed company!
Sad! 😢

And with the worry, understandable in today’s world, perhaps an opportunity missed. Or … maybe not. She’s got his name and number, after all …

Hi, Jill! Yeah, I need to know who it is before opening the door! At least …. she got her sweater back. I’d call him. ☎️ 😉

I’m the same … I always look through the peephole before opening the door. Yep, I’d call him to … and at the very least thank him for returning the sweater! Common courtesy … and then, who knows what else might come up!
