Julianna hovered over Owen’s shoulder as he answered the door. She frowned at the blonde on her porch. Who was this? What did she want? She didn’t want more people in her house. One uninvited blonde was enough.
“Hi!” The blonde greeted him back with an energetic cheerfulness that didn’t quite suit the hour. It wasn’t yet dark, the sun was still casting the sky in orange and red behind her head. Illuminating her features in soft light. She hadn’t expected a tall, and handsome man to answer the door. That was pleasant surprise. Typical questions came to mind. Was he married? Single? Rich? The Old Haven house had been listed at millions of dollars, that she knew. The money had to have come from somewhere. She smiled wide and bright.
She lifted the treats higher, even though she’d already noticed him eyeing them. And her. The charming smile playing on his features was encouraging. “No squad. Just me! Name’s Madeline.” She had the drawl that you would expect from her appearance. Flannel over a tank top. Cut off shorts and Converse. She rearranged the goodies, and held them against her chest with one arm. She thrust her now free hand in his direction for a shake. “You can call me Maddy though. I’m your neighbor.” She pulled her hand back and waved it a little, chuckling all the while.
“Neighborly, anyway. I’m still a mile or two up the road, but I just had to meet whoever bought this silly old house.” Her eyes glittered with poorly masked intentions. “Can I come inside?”
Silly.
Julianna could have slapped Madeline, call me Maddy, as well.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
