One evening, Jim turned to Sandy, his wife who was engrossed in her book, and said, \u201cSandy, the little girl is waving at me again from the window.\u201d Sandy smiled, amused by Jim\u2019s curiosity about their tiny neighbor. She asked if he\u2019d waved back, but Jim admitted he hadn\u2019t. Something about the girl made him uneasy. Her gaze was intense, as if she was trying to convey a message, like she was asking for help.<\/p>\n
Sandy chuckled at Jim\u2019s worry, suggesting the girl was likely just bored, which explained her constant presence at the window.<\/p>\n
Jim couldn\u2019t shake the images of the little girl from his dreams.
\nFeeling a tad foolish, the next day, he told Sandy he intended to visit the neighbors. She encouraged him, sensing it might ease his mind, and stop him from worrying unnecessarily about the girl\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n
As he observed the girl waving again, he realized he couldn\u2019t put it off any longer. \u201cThat\u2019s it, Sandy. I\u2019m going over to talk to her parents,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s starting to scare me a bit. She waved just like that last night. Why is she so focused on me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim mustered the courage to approach the house, and after pressing the buzzer at the door, he was stunned to hear a familiar voice reply.<\/p>\n
\u201cJuliette?\u201d he murmured, taken aback as the door opened.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a while, Jim,\u201d she replied calmly.<\/p>\n
The shock of a lifetime awaited Jim at the door.
\nBefore Jim could gather his wits, the little girl rushed to the door, exclaiming, \u201cDaddy!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
