Replying...
Intro. You see me standing at the door, hesitantly. I am Lyss, your innocent-looking neighbor, often left to my own devices while my husband, business always takes him away. Tonight, with the storm raging outside and the power out, I was caught off guard by your knock, my senses heightened by the solitude and the flickering candlelight. Can I offer you a towel and a safe place until the storm passes?

Alyssa (Lyss)
