From here, she could see all.</p> 628 629 630 631<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lorne was walking with a stack of his weekly newspaper, his wheaton-poodle cross Lexi following at his heels. He entered the pie shop.</p> 632 633 634 635<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The apartment door rattled. âSusanne! You wonât believe it!â</p> 636 637 638 639<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artemis ignored it.</p> 640 641 642 643<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lorne emerged and glanced up. He saw Artemis watching and waved. She appreciated those who knew how to honour the superiority of cats.</p> 644 645 646 647<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lexi did not look up. Dogs rarely did, unless they were trying to catch a ball.</p> 648 649 650 651<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The apartment door rattled again. Artemis jumped off her perch, hissing.</p> 652 653 654 655<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âCome on, Susanne! Open up! Iâve got news!â</p> 656 657 658 659<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was Henry, who lived below them in 301.</p> 660 661 662 663<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He knocked, waited, and then muttered. âDamn. I guess youâre not there.â</p> 664 665 666 667<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artemis heard steps in the hall, and then, âOh!

Let me get my groceries in.â</p> 672 673 674 675<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Susanne pushed open the door, puffing from the stairs. âThe landlord needs to fix that elevator,â she said.</p> 676 677 678 679<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artemis began to weave between her legs, covering Susanne with the scent of belonging.</p> 680 681 682 683<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Susanne stumbled into the kitchen. She set her cloth Askews bags on the counter and leaned down to pick up the cat. âSilly girl,â she murmured into her fur. âWhat did you want Henry?â</p> 684 685 686 687<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âTheyâve rented #402!â</p> 688 689 690 691<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Susanne blinked. âThey canât rent #402.

The baby on the third floor had been crying all night.</p> 732 733 734 735<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âThe usual?â Nic said, when she was finally at the front. âQuiche and coffee, two cream, one sugar?â</p> 736 737 738 739<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Susanne laughed. âYeah, perfect.â</p> 740 741 742 743<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âI hear you have a new neighbour coming,â he said as he punched in the order. âI thought theyâd never be able to rent that unit.â</p> 744 745 746 747<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âMe, neither,â she said, taking the coffee.</p> 748 749 750 751<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She sat at a table, facing the street, sipping. A tall young man with a pencil thin moustache swept the street with earnest focus. She saw Henry, her downstairs neighbour, and pulled into the corner, hoping he wouldnât look this way.</p> 752 753 754 755<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The marquee across the road announced the film society showings. She checked her phone to read about the options, thinking she could use a distraction.</p> 756 757 758 759<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nic set the quiche on the table. âListen, I wonder if youâd like to see a movie?â He gave a nod to the marquee. Tonightâs looks good.â</p> 760 761 762 763<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Susanne nodded, âI was thinking Iâd like to see it. Yes.â</p> 764 765 766 767<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As she ate her quiche, a text came in: Henry inviting her to the same movie.</p> 768 769 770 771<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âSorry Got a date,â she typed back.</p> 772 773 774 775<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She shut off the phone and put it in her pocket. She didnât want to know Henryâs reaction. She stood up.</p> 776 777 778 779<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nic looked up from washing a table. âIâll meet you out front at 6:30!â .</p> 780 781 782 783<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She nodded and stepped onto Alex Street, wondering how long she could hide before she had to deal with this trouble.</p> 784 785 786 787<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>#3 April 3, 2024</strong></h2> 788 789 790 791<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Henry Block woke groaning to his alarm blaring the <em>Star Wars</em> theme. Heâd had two hours of sleep. Little Maggie next door was teething and she was not happy about it. Consequently, no one else at 325 Alex Street was happy about it either. Were that not bad enough, before Maggieâs howls had pierced the night, heâd been tossing and turning over Susanne.</p> 792 793 794 795<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He wasnât ashamed to admit heâd spied on her. Heâd turned the lights out in his apartment and sat staring out his window to see who picked her up for that date. He was delighted when, at 6:25 she walked out of the building alone. Unfortunately, at 6:29 he saw her in front of the Salmar embracing Nic from the pie place. It was just a friendly hug, Henryâd decided, but when the mov
795ie let out, theyâd emerged holding hands and five minutes later Henry had heard their laughter on the stairs.</p> 796 797 798 799<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As he poured hot water into his French press, there was a thump on his ceiling, likely Artemis the cat knocking things over. He ate breakfast wondering when Susanneâs new neighbour would be moving in, and pondered whether they were brave or just stupid to rent that suite.</p> 800 801 802 803<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When he left for work, a jovial voice called from the stairwell, âHello, Henry!â</p> 804 805 806 807<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Henry scowled at Nic. He didnât want to think about why he was still in their building nor why he was in such a good mood.</p> 808 809 810 811<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nic grinned as they descended together, âYou!â</p> 812 813 814 815<p class="wp-block-paragraph">âExcuse me?â</p> 816 817 818 819<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nic waved down the hall to the second floor suites. âSusanne was telling me last night about how entertaining she find you! I had no idea. â</p> 820 821 822 823<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Henry froze on the step as Nic pushed cheerily out onto Alex Street.</p> 824 825 826 827<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He wantedSusanne to find him attractive, considerate, fascinating. </p> 828 829 830 831<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Entertaining.</em></p> 832 833 834 835<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That didnât sound good at all.</p> 836 837 838 839<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p> 840 841 842 843<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>#4 April 12, 2024</strong></h2> 844 845 846 847<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When Chris had told Marcus they had room for him to stay while he did his welding course at Okanagan College, heâd thought theyâd meant an extra bedroom. When Chris had pointed to the couch, Marcus presumed it was a hide-a-bed, but no. He was to sleep on Chrisâs six foot long couch, which might have been fine if Marcus were five feet tall, but Marcus was six foot three.</p> 848 849 850 851<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mabel and Dimity were tiny, but they had beds. There were three beds in the tiny bedroom. He tried not to be jealous. Beggers didnât choose, after all.</p> 852 853 854 855<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chris had assured him there was a bus that would take him from downtown to the college.</p> 856 857 858 859<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Imagine his surprise when the route labeled âOkanagan Collegeâ only went to the academic campus, not to the trades campus in the industrial park. The closest transit could get him was thirty-three blocks away. A good hourâs walk. Thankfully, heâd found a folding bike at Churchesâ Thrift Store, so when the roads were clear, he could cycle the final five kilometres. In February, heâd had a long, cold, and snowy walk. But now it was April and he was thankful for the rickety bike.</p> 860 861 862 863<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At least it wasnât Vancouver.</p> 864 865 866 867<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As he tried to get comfortable enough to sleep, he told himself he was lucky to have a place to stay. Still. Tthere was something strange going on in this building. The screaming baby in the suite above gave him the creeps, and he kept hearing murmurs about suite #402.</p> 868 869 870 871<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The landlord had emailed to ask if he were handy, because there were some repairs to be done before the new tenant arrived. Marcus said heâd look.</p> 872 873 874 875<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe heâd solve his money problems and the mystery of #402.<br>.</p> 876 877 878 879<p class="wp-block-paragraph">.</p> 880 881 882 883<p class="wp-block-paragraph">.</p> 884 885 886 887<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Legal notices:</h2> 888 889 890 891<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This website and its content are protected by Canadian copyright law.
