An early morning delivery arrives at the Pinyon Pines Apartments. Right away, the woman from #A notices the name missing. She double-checks the address and waves. Probably, a long-lost package. Or perhaps a secret admirer is responsible for this.
Instead, the shame tracks down the stranger for her. Few walk by her door. And then, crickets. Finally, she hands over the goods, guilty of the charge. Each Christmassy-looking negligee is put back in the legal owners’ bag. With the belief, only coal will be in her stocking this year. And, the unseasonable heavy rain will cancel the snowy Christmas forecast.
