Lakeshore Christmas
“This drove some people crazy, literally. Deprived of sunlight, they started acting weird.
Not Maureen. She welcomed the darkness because it meant she would get to relax and start the evening that much sooner. She arrived home just as twilight descended hard. Sometimes she ran into Carolyn, the mail carrier, as her street was the last on Carolyn’s route. The building was a 1920s brownstone that housed four apartments—Mr. and Mrs. Greer, who had the distinction of being the longest-married couple... in Avalon, as far as anyone knew—67 years. Then there were Chip and his partner Gordon, a different sort of couple. They were firefighters at the local station and both gourmet cooks. The third apartment was occupied by Trent and Dee, newlyweds so inseparable that people gave them a couple’s nickname—Trendy.
Finally there was Maureen, sharing her apartment with Franklin and Eloise, who, as it happened, were also a couple. Maureen had adopted Franklin as a stray, naming him after Benjamin Franklin, founder of the first subscription library in the U.S.MoreLess
