Misgivings Misgivings Thunder struck outside, and Amy jumped out of her chair. She was terrified sitting alone in the house alone. It hadn’t seemed so big when she and Toby came to look at it last fall. It belonged to a couple who had both passed away earlier that year. Amy and Toby fell in love with the house from the moment they laid eyes on it. The master bedroom had a large window that looked out over the front lawn. Next to it were French doors leading out to a wrought iron balcony. A white washed porch encompassed the first floor of the house, its rails intertwined with white roses that blessed the thick summer air with their sweet aroma. “It had seemed so welcoming then.” Amy thought to herself as she arose from the chair, wearily getting ready for bed. She pulled one of her husband’s old fraternity sweaters from one of the many boxes that were spread across the room and put it on.
