Ellen was putting lip gloss on her lips because it felt too dry when she heard a knock on the door. She was a bit startled that the tube fell off her hand onto the floor. She looked at the tube before bending down to pick it up and then turning to the door.
"Who is it?" she asked, and she heard a knock. She did not know how to feel. She felt fear creep up her body. If it were anybody in the house, they would have responded. 'Did someone come into the house?' she asked herself as she walked silently to the door. "Who is it?" she asked again.
When she did not get a response, she gulped down the lump that had somehow grown in her throat before she unlocked the door, ready for whatever might be on the other side. She pulled the door to herself and was met by a huge bouquet.
"Oh my gosh!"
