Katrina was halfway through an episode of her favorite drama series when her doorbell rang. She jumped, gasping as her heart lurched painfully, then pressed ‘pause’ on the remote control. Wincing slightly as she unfolded her legs from beneath her bottom—she’d been watching the program back-to-back for a couple of hours and she was stiff—she moved to the window and peered out through a gap in the curtains, careful not to let the mystery visitor see her, should she need to ignore them. Cold callers were common in her area, and drove her crazy. If she wanted to buy something, she’d contact them, not the other way around.

Good, I have some of those knocking at the door too.
I totally agree, if I needed something I would contact them.
You set me right in the mood. 🙂
I hope the visitor is someone pleasing to her and not a pesky cold caller. I hate those. Great hook.
I feel the same way about cold callers. Just had one yesterday that said I needed to upgrade my water heater. Anyway, that’s a great hook! I wonder if it’s really who she assumes at the door. 🙂
Oooh, who is at the door? Nice hook. (P.S. hate the cold callers too. lol
I want to know who’s at the door!
Nice hook!
I know how she feels about unexpected visitors.
I wonder who’s at the door … and what it is they will try to sell her 😀
