"That house?" I asked, my interest piqued. "Oh, the reminder. The previous couple there made me a nosey neighbour, one thing after another. The number of noise complaints was something else."
Good thing they found their dream home somewhere else, I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life looking out the window and hoping I don't see a screaming woman across the street tossing shit at her husband, and I mean literal shit... dog shit to be exact.
The sheriff chuckled, as if he could read my mind. He was just as relieved when they finally moved out. I think the entire town had a breather after that.
I smiled, going back to my notebook, when a sudden shiver shot up my spine.
That house was right across from mine.
"Refill?" I asked, taking the jug.
"Yes, please..."
I cleared my throat. "So um... I hope it's not another couple across that stress."
"Actually, it's not."
My hand trembled, and I made a mess.
