A case in point was the note he seemed to have left her on the breakfast table. She had no idea what was written on it! It was like he'd written his own hieroglyphic language. As she squinted, trying to read the note, she heard the doorbell ring. Well, that was odd. No one really came to this house unless she ordered some takeaway, which was rare.
