WHO: Livvy & Dane -- @danebyers
WHERE: the coastal area.
WHEN: July, 2022.
Normally, it was a peaceful neighborhood. Come sundown, neighbors were out on their porches, finishing up their last glass of wine with their torch lit to keep the bugs away, enjoying the cooler air. Livvy was no different, finding herself regularly curled up on her loveseat on the patio, a book in one hand, wine glass in the other, the gentle lap of the ocean and the occasional screen of a seagull the only sound that really reached her. Normally, anyway. That night, the new neighbor was breaking her concentration. She wasn’t even sure what noise was coming from his house, but she knew that it was better to nip it in the bud, unfolding herself from the seat and making her way to his front door. Steeling herself with a deep breath, she knocked firmly before stepping back to wait.
