I had that wrong for four days and so did everybody I told.

My daughter went into the corner of an oak console table because she had said no eleven times and her mother had four days left.

Part Thirteen: The Camera

We put a camera in the entry hall in the February of 2024 because there had been four package thefts on our street in six weeks.

There is a doorbell unit outside, which faces out and is useless for any of this, and there is a small indoor camera on the shelf above the console table, which faces the door and takes in about two-thirds of the hall.

It cost thirty-one dollars.
