FOR YEARS MY NEIGHBOR COMES HOME FOR 15 MINUTES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY — I FINALLY DARED TO TAKE A PEEK

As I hurried to my front door, I realized that I only had fifteen minutes left. I quickly headed toward the open window as soon as I thought no one was watching.

I was happy that no neighbors were observing when I peered over the windowsill.

Their living area was same to all others. Mike faced away from me while holding a high-end camera. With a subtle smile, Jill turned to face him. My attention was drawn to a brief glimpse of motion near the room’s edge.

Mike had my whole attention. His wife yelled, “Someone’s there!,” as our eyes locked, and I lost my breath. There’s someone looking inside!
No, no, no! I pondered. This is not possible!

With my heart racing, I hurried back to my house and secured the door. What was going through my mind? I peeked inside their house, but why? Had I caused them any offense? I thought they were going to call the cops.

The quiet was broken the following day by a knock on my door. Taking a glance through the peephole made my stomach turn. It was Mike.

He pulled out a picture from an envelope he was holding. My picture. “Want to elaborate?” he inquired, seeming amused.

I admitted, embarrassed. To my astonishment, Mike grinned and extended an invitation to visit, stating that he loves Jill by taking her picture every day.

I treasured their endearing custom and never looked out the window again after that day.
