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.

Jake received a ‘Dear John’ letter from his sweetheart, Emily. With shaking hands, he opened it to find heart-wrenching news: Emily had found comfort in another’s arms. Heartbroken and seeking cIosure, Jake turned to his fellow soldiers for support.
Gathering all the reminders of Emily’s affection, Jake decided to let go. In a poignant gesture, he penned a note to Emily, urging her to take back her Ietters and memories. Amidst the sea of heartbreak, Jake found a glimmer of humor. Along with Emily’s picture, he tossed in all the other photos he had collected from his buddies. With a mischievous grin, he penned a note to Emily, “Dear Emily, Sorry, but I can’t seem to recall who you are among these lovely ladies.
Please find your photo and send the rest back. Best wishes, Jake.” As he seaIed the envelope, Jake couldn’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all.
