Dmitri waved at us as he got into his car. We waved back. Then Elizabeth turned to me. "Interesting fellow," she said. "I like him." I laughed. "You can say it. He's weird.

Dan felt the familiar tingle as he walked down the street. First there was the pub, then the little cafe with its pretty tables and the stationery store. And then the green door.
