Chapter 15
I’d never considered breaking into a house before. It wasn’t something I planned. The screen just lifted out so easily, and the kitchen window opened right up. That mansion cottage was built to be burgled.
The kitchen... Wow! I’d never seen anything like it. The fridge had an icemaker and two doors that opened up in the middle. But it didn’t have any food inside, except fancy condiments and jams. There was nothing in the freezer but ice and gourmet coffee beans.
Their dishes were beautiful, with little flowers painted around the sides and gold all along the edges. Not much in the cupboards except some crackers and olives, odds and ends like that, but I took the lack of food as a sign that nobody was likely to come barrelling through the front door any time soon.
