*Amelia* After parking my car in the garage, I made my way into the sitting room, and on getting inside, the first thing I did was to collapse on the sofa for some minutes in order to recover some energy. After what seemed like an eternity, I stood and was about to make my way to my room when a knock resounded on my door. Given how tired I was, I didn't even think of asking who it was before opening the door, and on seeing the person who just knocked, I immediately regretted opening the door in the first place. ______________________________________ "Wow, what a beautiful house you have," the unexpected and unwanted visitor, who was no one else than Melissa, said to me while grinning ear to ear. "Yes, it's a very beautiful house. Do you like it?" I asked her with a sarcastic smile.
