EXCERPT ONE:
The drive was uneventful, and by the time I pulled into my parking space, I was bored and lonely.
I slogged up the stairs to the front door. First, I’d throw a load of laundry in, and then I’d order an early dinner of takeout.
Standing at the kitchen counter with the menus, I picked up the phone and hit speed dial. The voice was warm. “Hey, how was New York?”
“Well, it was good for you. You are now a proud season ticket holder for the Yankees.”
“Really, Lil?”
“Yeah.”
“Thank you, sweetie.”
“You’re welcome.” I bit my lower lip. “Hey, can I come over?”
His voice deepened. “Megan is away.”
“I know.”
“Ah, that kind of visit.”
I leaned my head against the cabinet. Darn it. I wish I had more willpower. “Yes.”
“Come on over.”

Good evening, Kris, I am curious to know if you are able to read or write when it is noisy or do you require peace and quiet or white noise as I do?
