The Peaceful Afternoon

You sit down at on the couch and stretch out - you've got the house to yourself for the day. You enjoy being by yourself, it's peaceful and quiet - but only if you want. You could just as easily go and turn the stereo right up if you pleased, and no one was there to complain.

Acting quickly you stuff it down the side of the pillow and turn around to see one of your mothers friends walking up the stairs.

You recognize the face - her name is Doe. She appears to have come from work - dressed in a blouse, jacket and a skirt just short of her knee. She looks up from the stairs and smiles at you as you unlock the door...
