For weeks, a little girl from across the street waved at me day and night.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t shake the haunting look in her eyes. When I finally went<\/p>\n
to see who she was, nothing could\u2019ve prepared me for the heartbreaking truth waiting behind that door.<\/p>\n
Every evening, I would watch this little girl from my window. She was always there,<\/p>\n
a small, petite figure no older than five standing by the window, her tiny hand waving at me.<\/p>\n
Her eyes, fixed on mine, held an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. Who was she? What did she want from me?<\/p>\n
I turned to my wife, Sandy, who was curled up on the couch with a book.<\/p>\n
\u201cBabe, she\u2019s there again. The girl I told you about. Sandy looked up, her brow furrowed. \u201cThe one who\u2019s always waving at you?\u201d<\/p>\n
I nodded, feeling a pang of sorrow. \u201cYeah. There\u2019s something\u2026 I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
Something in her eyes. It\u2019s like she\u2019s trying to tell me something.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sandy set her book aside and joined me at the window. \u201cOh, Arnie,\u201d<\/p>\n
she said softly, placing a hand on my shoulder. \u201cMaybe she\u2019s just a lonely kid. Have you tried waving back?\u201d<\/p>\n
I shook my head, my eyes still fixed on the little figure across the street.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I can\u2019t explain it, Sandy. It feels like more than that. Like she\u2019s calling out to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sandy\u2019s grip on my shoulder tightened. \u201cHoney, you\u2019re scaring me a little.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just a kid waving. Don\u2019t read too much into it, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
