9:00 P.M.: The Front Door Opened — Like He Owned the Place
I didn’t hide like a movie character.
I didn’t crouch in a closet with a plan to “catch” anyone dramatically.
I positioned myself where I could see and hear without being seen.
And I kept my phone ready.
At 8:45, a car pulled up.
At 8:46, the front door opened.
No knock.
No “hello from the porch.”
He let himself in.
I heard my wife greet him warmly. Heard the easy familiarity.
